Thong Kuah 5b3c096c9e Convert clusters to use a top-level controller
In preparation so that we can create both cluster attached to project
and cluster attached to group.

- Move ClustersController to top level

- Move Clusters::ApplicationsController to top-level too

- Creates a Clusters::BaseController to share common functions

- Do not rely on @project ivar. Anything could set the ivar.

- Fix Vue page components due to new data-page value

Because of the controller change we have gone from
`projects:clusters:new` to `clusters:new`, so we need to update the file
location of the page components. There is somewhere a function that will
convert data-page to a file location.

On that note, projects/clusters/gcp/new/, translate to
Projects::Clusters::Gcp#new doesn't exist so replace that with
clusters/create_gcp/ and clusters/create_user/

GitLab QA - Integration tests for GitLab

This directory contains integration tests for GitLab.

It is part of the GitLab QA project.

What is it?

GitLab QA is an integration tests suite for GitLab.

These are black-box and entirely click-driven integration tests you can run against any existing instance.

How does it work?

  1. When we release a new version of GitLab, we build a Docker images for it.
  2. Along with GitLab Docker Images we also build and publish GitLab QA images.
  3. GitLab QA project uses these images to execute integration tests.

Validating GitLab views / partials / selectors in merge requests

We recently added a new CI job that is going to be triggered for every push event in CE and EE projects. The job is called qa:selectors and it will verify coupling between page objects implemented as a part of GitLab QA and corresponding views / partials / selectors in CE / EE.

Whenever qa:selectors job fails in your merge request, you are supposed to fix page objects. You should also trigger end-to-end tests using package-and-qa manual action, to test if everything works fine.

How can I use it?

You can use GitLab QA to exercise tests on any live instance! For example, the following call would login to a local GDK instance and run all specs in qa/specs/features:

bin/qa Test::Instance::All http://localhost:3000

Writing tests

  1. Using page objects

Running specific tests

You can also supply specific tests to run as another parameter. For example, to run the repository-related specs, you can execute:

bin/qa Test::Instance::All http://localhost qa/specs/features/repository/

Since the arguments would be passed to rspec, you could use all rspec options there. For example, passing --backtrace and also line number:

bin/qa Test::Instance::All http://localhost qa/specs/features/project/create_spec.rb:3 --backtrace

Overriding the authenticated user

Unless told otherwise, the QA tests will run as the default root user seeded by the GDK.

If you need to authenticate as a different user, you can provide the GITLAB_USERNAME and GITLAB_PASSWORD environment variables:

GITLAB_USERNAME=jsmith GITLAB_PASSWORD=password bin/qa Test::Instance::All https://gitlab.example.com

If your user doesn't have permission to default sandbox group gitlab-qa-sandbox, you could also use another sandbox group by giving GITLAB_SANDBOX_NAME:

GITLAB_USERNAME=jsmith GITLAB_PASSWORD=password GITLAB_SANDBOX_NAME=jsmith-qa-sandbox bin/qa Test::Instance::All https://gitlab.example.com

All supported environment variables are here.

Building a Docker image to test

Once you have made changes to the CE/EE repositories, you may want to build a Docker image to test locally instead of waiting for the gitlab-ce-qa or gitlab-ee-qa nightly builds. To do that, you can run from this directory:

docker build -t gitlab/gitlab-ce-qa:nightly .
