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?
- When we release a new version of GitLab, we build a Docker images for it.
- Along with GitLab Docker Images we also build and publish GitLab QA images.
- 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-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:
First, cd into the $gdk/gitlab/qa directory.
The bin/qa script expects you to be in the qa folder of the app.
bin/qa Test::Instance http://localhost:3000
Writing tests
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 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 http://localhost qa/specs/features/login/standard_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 https://gitlab.example.com
