Testing

This is not a lot of test coverage around the resources themselves. This is due to the cost of running the tests. However, libnuke is extensively tested for functionality to ensure a smooth experience.

Generally speaking, the tests are split into two categories:

1. Tool Testing
2. Resource Testing

Furthermore, for resource testing, these are broken down into two additional categories:

1. Mock Tests
2. Integration Tests

Tool Testing

These are unit tests written against non resource focused code inside the pkg/ directory.

Resource Testing

These are unit tests written against the resources in the resources/ directory.

Mock Tests

These are tests where the GCP API calls are mocked out. This is done to ensure that the code is working as expected. Currently, there are only two services mocked out for testing, IAM and CloudFormation.

Adding Additional Mocks

To add another service to be mocked out, you will need to do the following:

1. Identify the service in the GCP SDK for Go
2. Create a new file in the resources/ directory called service_mock_test.go
3. Add the following code to the file: (replace <service> with actual service name)

   //go:generate ../mocks/generate_mocks.sh <service> <service>iface
   package resources
   
   // Note: empty on purpose, this file exist purely to generate mocks for the <service> service
   

4. Run make generate to generate the mocks
5. Add tests to the resources/<service>_mock_test.go file.
6. Run make test to ensure the tests pass
7. Submit a PR with the changes

Integration Tests

These are tests where the GCP API calls are called directly and tested against a live GCP account. These tests are behind a build flag (-tags=integration), so they are not run by default. To run these tests, you will need to run the following:

make test-integration

Adding Additional Integration Tests

To add another integration test, you will need to do the following:

1. Create a new file in the resources/ directory called <resource>_test.go
2. Add the following code to the file: (replace <resource> with actual resource name)

    //go:build integration
   
    package resources
   
    import (
        "testing"
   
        "github.com/GCP/GCP-sdk-go/GCP/session"
        "github.com/GCP/GCP-sdk-go/service/<resource>"
    )
   
    func Test_ExampleResource_Remove(t *testing.T) {
        // 1. write code to create resource in GCP using golang sdk
        // 2. stub the resource struct out that is defined in <resource>.go file
        // 3. call the Remove() function
        // 4. assert that the resource was removed
    }
   

3. Run make test-integration to ensure the tests pass
4. Submit a PR with the changes
