The content of this directory is meant to be used by Parity's private CI/CD infrastructure with private tools. At the moment those tools are still early stage of development and we don't when if / when they will available for public use.
configs dir contains config files in toml format that describe how to
configure the simulation network that you want to launch.
tests dir contains cucumber files. Those are
Behavior-Driven Development test files that describe tests in plain English.
Under the hood there are assertions that specific metrics should have specific
values.
At the moment we have 2 tests: tests/quick/001-smoketest.feature and
tests/long/002-loadtest.feature
The load test uses a JS script that we added to simnet image and it's launched
by this step in the cucumber file:
Then launch 'node' with parameters '/usr/local/bin/sub-flood --finalization --url ws://localhost:11222'
run_test.sh is a script meant to ease up launching a test.
In order to use this script locally, you need to install
gurke
This script also helps preparing the test environment. Once you have access to
a kubernetes cluster (meaning you can do kubectl get pods) you can run this
script with no arguments, like ./run_test.sh and tests should run.
Kubernetes cluster can be local, spawned with
kind
or an instance living in the
cloud
