Some Arch Linux hosts have /etc/resolv.conf as an absolute symbolic link
to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf, instead of being a relative
symbolic link to ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf or a regular
file. eg., the images built by arch-boxes [1].
This changes the target that the Toolbx container's /etc/resolv.conf
points at and confuses the tests [2].
Ideally, these host operating systems should be fixed to use relative
symbolic links. This is highlighted by skipping the tests, because
there's no point in failing them until that happens.
This is a step towards running the CI on Arch Linux.

System tests
These tests are built with BATS (Bash Automated Testing System).
The tests are meant to ensure that Toolbx's functionality remains stable throughout updates of both Toolbx and Podman/libpod.
The tests are set up in a way that does not affect the host environment. Running them won't remove any existing containers or images.
Dependencies
awkbatsGNU coreutilshttpd-toolsopensslpodmanskopeotoolbox
These tests use a few standard libraries for bats which help with clarity
and consistency. The libraries are bats-support
and bats-assert. These libraries are
provided as git submodules in the libs directory. Make sure both are present
by running git submodule init and git submodule update.
How to run the tests
First, make sure you have all the dependencies installed.
- Enter the toolbox root folder
- Invoke command
bats ./test/system/and the test suite should fire up
Mocking of images is done automatically to prevent potential networking issues and to speed up the cases.
By default the test suite uses the system versions of podman, skopeo and
toolbox.
If you have toolbox installed in a nonstandard location then you can use the
TOOLBX environmental variable to set the path to the binary. So the command
to invoke the test suite could look something like this:
TOOLBX=./toolbox bats ./test/system/.
It's recommended to set the TMPDIR
environment variable to /var/tmp when running the tests. Otherwise, the
images downloaded during the tests will be cached in /tmp, which is
typically on tmpfs backed by RAM or swap and should be used for smaller
size-bounded files only.
When running the tests, make sure the test suite: [job] jobs are successful.
These jobs set up the whole environment and are a strict requirement for other
jobs to run correctly.
Writing tests
Environmental variables
- Inspect top part of
libs/helpers.batsfor a list of helper environmental variables
Naming convention
- All tests should follow the nomenclature:
[command]: <test description>... - When the test is expected to fail, start the test description with "Try to..."
- When the test is to give a non obvious output, it should be put in parenthesis at the end of the title
Examples:
@test "create: Create the default container"@test "rm: Try to remove a non-existent container"
Test case environment
- All the tests start with a clean system (no images or containers) to make sure
that there are no dependencies between tests and they are really isolated. Use
the
setup()andteardown()functions for that purpose.
Image registry
-
The system tests set up an OCI image registry for testing purposes -
localhost:50000. The registry requires authentication. There is one account present:user(password:user) -
The registry contains by default only one image:
fedora-toolbox:34
Example pull of the fedora-toolbox:34 image:
podman login --username user --password user "$DOCKER_REG_URI"
podman pull "$DOCKER_REG_URI/fedora-toolbox:34"
