Integration tests

The basics

To run all tests from the minikube root directory:

make integration

Quickly iterating on a single test

Run a single test on an active cluster:

make integration -e TEST_ARGS="-test.run TestFunctional/parallel/MountCmd --profile=minikube --cleanup=false"

WARNING: For this to work repeatedly, the test must be written so that it cleans up after itself.

See main.go for details.

Disabling parallelism

make integration -e TEST_ARGS="-test.parallel=1"

Testing philosophy

• Tests should be so simple as to be correct by inspection
• Readers should need to read only the test body to understand the test
• Top-to-bottom readability is more important than code de-duplication

Tests are typically read with a great air of skepticism, because chances are they are being read only when things are broken.
