This document is to help developers understand how to test CAPV.
This section illustrates how to do end-to-end (e2e) testing with CAPV.
In order to run the e2e tests the following requirements must be met:
- Administrative access to a vSphere server
- The testing must occur on a host that can access the VMs deployed to vSphere via the network
- Ginkgo (download)
- Docker (download)
- Kind v0.7.0+ (download)
The first step to running the e2e tests is setting up the required environment variables:
| Environment variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
VSPHERE_SERVER |
The IP address or FQDN of a vCenter 6.7u3 server | my.vcenter.com |
VSPHERE_USERNAME |
The username used to access the vSphere server | my-username |
VSPHERE_PASSWORD |
The password used to access the vSphere server | my-password |
VSPHERE_DATACENTER |
The unique name or inventory path of the datacenter in which VMs will be created | my-datacenter or /my-datacenter |
VSPHERE_FOLDER |
The unique name or inventory path of the folder in which VMs will be created | my-folder or /my-datacenter/vm/my-folder |
VSPHERE_RESOURCE_POOL |
The unique name or inventory path of the resource pool in which VMs will be created | my-resource-pool or /my-datacenter/host/Cluster-1/Resources/my-resource-pool |
VSPHERE_DATASTORE |
The unique name or inventory path of the datastore in which VMs will be created | my-datastore or /my-datacenter/datstore/my-datastore |
VSPHERE_NETWORK |
The unique name or inventory path of the network to which VMs will be connected | my-network or /my-datacenter/network/my-network |
VSPHERE_HAPROXY_TEMPLATE |
The unique name or inventory path of the template from which the HAProxy load balancer VMs are cloned | my-haproxy-template or /my-datacenter/vm/my-haproxy-template |
VSPHERE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY |
The file path of the private key used to ssh into the CAPV VMs | /home/foo/bar-ssh.key |
VSPHERE_SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEY |
The public key that is added to the CAPV VMs | ss-rsa ABCDEF...XYZ= |
Run the following command to execute the CAPV e2e tests:
make e2e GC_KIND=falseThe above command should build the CAPV manager image locally and use that image with the e2e test suite.
