BATS unit testing

check_repo_tags.bats

• SRC: jjb/pipeline/voltha/software-upgrades.groovy
• TST: test/bats/check_repo_tags.bats
• LIB: test/bats/utils/check_repo_tags.sh

Unit test check_repo_tags.bats will exercise (git ls-remote) logic inlined within the software-upgrades.groovy script. The test will gather a list of tagnames from the gerrit and github repositories then compare the lists for differences.

Interactive Testing

check_repo_tags.bats contains two variables that can be uncommented to enable debugging.

• Uncomment to allow tagname differences to induce testing failures.

  • declare -g -i enable_fatal=1

• Test exclusions (skip) are supported but behavior is heavy handed. Skip will cause a test suite to prematurely exit on first failure VS iterate over all test conditions then ignore overall status.

  • declare -g -i enable_skip=1
  • For initial triage this test has been setup to call continue rather than skip. Ignore individual test conditions that are a known failure point.
