Overview

General information

OpenSearch Dashboards uses Jest for unit and integration tests and Selenium for functional tests.

In general, we recommend three tiers of tests:

  • Unit tests: Unit tests: small and modular tests that utilize mocks for external dependencies.
  • Integration tests: higher-level tests that verify interactions between systems (eg. HTTP APIs, OpenSearch API calls, calling other plugin).
  • End-to-end tests (e2e): functional tests that verify behavior in a web browser.

Requirements

  • Install the latest NodeJS, NPM and Yarn
    • nvm install v10.24.1
    • npm install -g yarn

Running tests

The following is a cheatsheet of options for running the tests for OpenSearch Dashboards.

Unit tests

To run all the unit tests: yarn test:jest To run specific unit tests, pass the path to the test: yarn test:jest [test path]

Integration tests

To run all the integration tests: yarn test:jest_integration To run specific integration tests, pass the path to the test: yarn test:jest_integration [test path]

Functional tests

To run all functional tests: yarn test:ftr To run specific functional tests, you can run by CI group: node scripts/functional_tests.js --include ciGroup1

To debug functional tests: Say that you would want to debug a test in CI group 1, you can run the following command in your environment: node --debug-brk --inspect scripts/functional_tests.js --config test/functional/config.js --include ciGroup1 --debug

This will print of an address, to which you could open your chrome browser on your instance and navigate to chrome://inspect/#devices and inspect the functional test runner scripts/functional_tests.js.

Continuous Integration

Automated testing is provided with Jenkins for Continuous Integration. Jenkins enables developers to build, deploy, and automate projects and provides us to run groups of tests quickly. CI groups are ran from the Jenkinsfile.

Environment misc

Selenium tests are run in headless mode on CI. Locally the same tests will be executed in a real browser. You can activate headless mode by setting the environment variable: export TEST_BROWSER_HEADLESS=1

By default the version of OpenSearch Dashboards will pull the snapshot of the same version of OpenSearch if available while running a few integration tests and for running functional tests. However, if the version of OpenSearch Dashboards is not available, you can build OpenSearch locally and point the functional test runner to the executable with: export TEST_OPENSEARCH_FROM=[local directory of OpenSearch executable]

Misc

Although Jest is the standard for this project, there are a few Mocha tests that still exist. You can run these tests by running: yarn test:mocha

However, these tests will eventually be migrated. Please avoid writing new Mocha tests. For further questions or to check the status please see this issue.
