The goal of Knuu is to provide a framework for writing integration tests. The framework is written in Go and is designed to be used in Go projects. The idea is to provide a framework that uses the power of containers and Kubernetes without the test writer having to know the details of how to use them.

We invite you to explore our codebase, contribute, and join us in developing a framework to help projects write integration tests.

Knuu is designed around Instances, which you can create, start, control, communicate with other Instances, stop, and destroy.

Some of the features of Knuu are:

• Initialize an Instance from a Container/Docker image or a git repository
• Configure startup commands
• Configure Networking
  • What ports to expose
  • Shape the network traffic
  • Disable networking to simulate network outages
• Configure Storage
• Execute Commands
• Configure HW resources
• Allow AddFile after Commit via ConfigMap
• Implement a TTL value for Pod cleanup
• Add a timeout variable

If you have feedback on the framework, want to report a bug, or suggest an improvement, please create an issue here.

This section will guide you on how to set up and run Knuu.

• Kubernetes cluster: Set up access to a Kubernetes cluster using a kubeconfig.

  In case you have no Kubernetes cluster running yet, you can get more information here.

More details and examples on the new knuu can be found here

And some more real-world examples can be found in the following repositories:

• celestiaorg/knuu e2e tests
• celestiaorg/celestia-app e2e tests

Depending on how you write your tests, you can use the built-in go test command to run the tests.

To run all tests in the current directory, you can run:

go test -v ./... -timeout=<timeout>m

Note 1: The timeout is set to 10 minutes by default. Make sure to set a timeout that is long enough to complete the test. Note 2: Please note that the timeout flag in the example is the go test timeout and not related to the knuu timeout.

You can set the following environment variable to change the behavior of knuu:

Note: knuu does not load .env file, if you want to set environment variables, you can set them directly in the code or use a .env file and load it using go-dotenv.

In the folder e2e, you will find some examples of how to use the knuu Integration Test Framework.

Set up access to a Kubernetes cluster using your kubeconfig and create the test namespace.

You can find the relevant documentation in the pkg/knuu package at: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/celestiaorg/knuu

You can use the Makefile commands to easily target whatever test by setting the pkg, run, or count flags.

Targeting a directory

make test pkgs=./e2e/basic

Targeting a Test in a directory

make test pkgs=./e2e/basic run=TestJustThisTest

Run a test in a loop to debug

make test pkgs=./e2e/basic run=TestJustThisTest10Times count=10

We warmly welcome and appreciate contributions.
