Sample ipa file download

Quick Start

IPA provides an ipatests package which contains all of the tests and tools needed to run the unit and IPA integration tests.

Requirements for 100% test passing:

• --setup-dns option must be passed to ipa-server-install (or run ipa-dns-install afterward)
• freeipa-server-trust-ad must be installed (AD trust is not necessary)

Setup

The tests allow customization through the use of a required, local configuration directory, ~/.ipa. This can be created with:

$ mkdir ~/.ipa $ ln -s /etc/ipa/default.conf ~/.ipa/default.conf $ ln -s /etc/ipa/ca.crt ~/.ipa/ca.crt

Note: you can instead copy those files but you'll need to update them again if re-install IPA.

To run the whole integration test suite, run the following:

$ kinit admin $ ipa-run-tests

For additional options or to run the integration tests see below.

The certificate test test_0027_sizelimit_zero will fail after the first execution of ipa-run-tests. It makes assumptions about the number of certificates issued. New certificates are issued as part of test execution which it is not expecting.

For Developers

Fast test

Often during development phase one needs to quickly check whether Python code is OK and whether basic tests (which don't require access to IPA API) are working. To do so, freeIPA 4.6.2 introduces 'fasttest' target:

$ make fasttest

The 'fastlint' target allows to quickly check pylint of modified Python files and pycodestyle checks of code diff. The target automatically determinates difference between current working tree and the origin branch (e.g. master or ipa-4-6):

$ make fastlint

For convenience the 'fastcheck' runs 'fasttest' and 'fastlint' with Python 2 and 3 in one go. A fastcheck takes about half a minute to a minute to execute:

$ make fastcheck

Note: in order to install all the dependencies for fastcheck, you can run

$ sudo dnf builddep -b -D "with_python3 1" -D "with_wheels 1" -D "with_lint 1" --spec freeipa.spec.in --allowerasing $ ./autogen.sh $ make fastcheck

Full test run

You can run the full tests from inside a source tree, but some template files must be generated first.

$ make version-update

You also need to run tests with admin ticket:

$ kinit admin

Run the test script:

./make-test

This command executes all the tests in ipatests folder.

You can also use this to run specific tests. Here is how you would test the user plugin:

./make-test ipatests/test_xmlrpc/test_user_plugin.py

Or you can run only tests from specific test class...

./make-test ipatests/test_xmlrpc/test_user_plugin.py::TestUser

... or even one particular test case (applies for non-declarative tests only):

./make-test ipatests/test_xmlrpc/test_user_plugin.py::TestUser::test_retrieve

Note that some of the tests make certain assumptions about the data on the server. Some tests, for example, pull all entries and expect a certain number to be returned and may raise an error.

In-tree testing

It is possible to execute the tests inside the tree rather than from the packaged files. This can make it faster to develop tests or test changes without having to do a full rebuild, install cycle.

Install

You need to have already executed ipa-server-install. This provides the Kerberos and LDAP servers needed for IPA testing.

Configure

You also need to configure IPA for your local installation.

When running the server in-tree we will use ~/.ipa/ instead of /etc/ipa to look for configuration files. You need to create ~/.ipa/default.conf. You can copy this from /etc/ipa/default.conf.

$ mkdir -p ~/.ipa $ cp /etc/ipa/default.conf ~/.ipa/ $ cp /etc/ipa/ca.crt ~/.ipa/

Run the tests

$ kinit admin $ PYTHONPATH=. python3 ipatests/ipa-run-tests

Optional tests

• In order for the certificate tests to pass you'll also need to copy the Dogtag agent certificate and private key from /var/lib/ipa/. Be sure to change ownership of these files too. That should do it.

$ cp /var/lib/ipa/ra-agent.{pem,key} ~/.ipa/ $ chown $USER ~/.ipa/ra-agent.{pem,key}

• To test the ldap updater you need to store password for Directory Managed to ~/.ipa/.dmpw file.

Lite server

The lite-server is a lightweight WSGI server that can be used to simplify web framework debugging in the source tree. Lite server info can be found here.

Remote testing

You can also test against an IPA installation on another machine, it just requires a bit more configuration.

You first need to update ~/.ipa/default.conf to point to the remote machine. My test machine is ipa.example.com, here is my configuration:

[global] domain=example.com realm=EXAMPLE.COM basedn=dc=example,dc=com server=ipa.example.com enable_ra=True xmlrpc_uri=https://ipa.example.com/ipa/xml

If you don't want your development machine to be enrolled as a client of the remote IPA master you can grab the remote krb5.conf and use that:

$ scp ipa.example.com:/etc/krb5.conf lion-krb5.conf $ export KRB5_CONFIG=`pwd`/lion-krb5.conf $ kinit admin

Finally you need to retrieve the CA from the IPA master and put it into ~/.ipa/ca.crt

$ wget -O ~/.ipa/ca.crt. http://ipa.example.com/ipa/config/ca.crt

Now you should be good-to-go to run the XML-RPC tests against a remote server.

Web UI testing

Web UI testing is covered by unit tests and integration tests.

Integration tests

Integration tests test IPA installations in multiple configurations across potentially multiple virtual machines.

Install

To run the integration tests you need to have the pythonX-ipatests package installed.

# dnf install python2-ipatests

or (preferred):

# dnf install python3-ipatests

All the files containing actual test implementations are located in the $PYTHON_SITELIB/ipatests/test_integration/ directory and start with a test_ prefix.

Configuration

To properly configure the environment, see integration testing configuration page.

Particularly, the configuration of your environment used for the testing can be done in two ways:

Run tests

To run the whole integration test suite, run the following:

$ ipa-run-tests

To run only tests from a specific file, run the following:

$ ipa-run-tests test_integration/test_simple_replication.py

To run tests from specific class, run:

$ ipa-run-tests test_integration/test_simple_replication.py::TestSimpleReplication

To run only one specific test, run:

$ ipa-run-tests test_integration/test_simple_replication.py::TestSimpleReplication::test_user_replication_to_master

Please note that you need to specify a whole path relative to the python's site-packages/ipatests/ directory.
