Clarity

CircleCI

A declaritive test framework for Terraform

  • reason: B/c unit testing terraform needs to be a thing

Info:

  • its a single binary, thats it. no need to write steps or go code. just write a declarative feature file.
  • good for writing fitness function tests on your HCL
  • its gherkin bdd inspired
  • provides its own matchers and hcl parser
  • must be run from the directory where your terraform files live
  • its a wrapper on godog, which provides built in terraform specific steps

Install

$ export OS="osx" #(osx | unix)
$ curl -sL https://github.com/xchapter7x/clarity/releases/latest/download/clarity_${OS} -o /usr/local/bin/clarity && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/clarity

CLI Options

-> % clarity --help
Usage:
  godog [options] [<features>]

Builds a test package and runs given feature files.
Command should be run from the directory of tested package and contain buildable go source.

Arguments:
  features             Optional feature(s) to run. Can be:
                           - dir (features/)
                           - feature (*.feature)
                           - scenario at specific line (*.feature:10)
                       If no feature paths are listed, suite tries features path by default.

Options:
  -c, --concurrency=1  Run the test suite with concurrency level:
                           - = 1: supports all types of formats.
                           - >= 2: only supports progress. Note, that
                           your context needs to support parallel execution.
  -d, --definitions    Print all available step definitions.
  -f, --format=pretty  How to format tests output. Built-in formats:
                           - events: Produces JSON event stream, based on spec: 0.1.0.
                           - junit: Prints junit compatible xml to stdout
                           - pretty: Prints every feature with runtime statuses.
                           - progress: Prints a character per step.
                           - cucumber: Produces cucumber JSON format output.
  --no-colors          Disable ansi colors.
  --random[=SEED]      Randomly shuffle the scenario execution order.
                       Specify SEED to reproduce the shuffling from a previous run.
                           e.g. --random or --random=5738
  --stop-on-failure    Stop processing on first failed scenario.
  --strict             Fail suite when there are pending or undefined steps.
  -t, --tags=          Filter scenarios by tags. Expression can be:
                           - "@wip": run all scenarios with wip tag
                           - "~@wip": exclude all scenarios with wip tag
                           - "@wip && ~@new": run wip scenarios, but exclude new
                           - "@wip,@undone": run wip or undone scenarios

Writting your terraform tests

Simply put a .feature file in the directory where the terraform you wish to test resides

$ ls
control_plane.feature dns.tf                lb.tf                 network.tf            outputs.tf            variables.tf

$ cat terraform/modules/control_plane.feature

Feature: We should have a LB for our control plane and its components and as
  such we should configure the proper security groups and listeners

  Scenario: we are using a single LB to route to all control plane components
    Given Terraform
    And a "aws_lb" of type "resource"
    Then attribute "load_balancer_type" equals "network"
    And it occurs exactly 1 times

  Scenario Outline: Every component of the control plane which needs a LB
    should be properly configured to have one

    Given Terraform
    And a "aws_security_group" of type "resource"
    And "our component is <component>"
    When attribute "ingress" exists
    Then attribute "ingress" matches regex "from_port.*<port>"
    And attribute "ingress" matches regex "to_port.*<port>"

    Given Terraform
    And a "aws_lb_listener" of type "resource"
    And "our component is <component>"
    Then attribute "port" equals <port>

    Given Terraform
    And  a "aws_lb_target_group" of type "resource"
    And "our component is <component>"
    Then attribute "port" equals <port>

    Examples:
    | port | component |
    | 443  | ATC       |
    | 80   | ATC       |
    | 8443 | UAA       |
    | 2222 | TSA       |

Use the clarity cli to run any feature files you wish
