Running tests

go-tfe relies on acceptance tests against either the HCP Terraform and Terraform Enterprise APIs. go-tfe is tested against HCP Terraform by our CI environment, and against Terraform Enterprise prior to release or otherwise as needed.

1. (Optional) Create repositories for policy sets and registry modules

If you are planning to run the full suite of tests or work on policy sets or registry modules, you'll need to set up repositories for them in GitHub.

Your policy set repository will need the following:

  1. A policy set stored in a subdirectory policy-sets/foo
  2. A branch other than main named policies

Alternatively, you can start with this example repository for policy sets by forking the repository to your GitHub account, then setting GITHUB_POLICY_SET_IDENTIFIER to the forked repository identifier your-github-handle/test-policy-set.

Your registry module repository will need to be a valid module. It will need the following:

  1. To be named terraform-<PROVIDER>-<NAME>
  2. At least one valid SemVer tag in the format x.y.z terraform-random-module is a good example repo.

2. Set up environment variables (ENVVARS)

You'll need to have environment variables setup in your environment to run the tests. There are different options to facilitate setting up environment variables, using the tool envchain is one option:

  1. Install envchain - refer to the envchain README for details

  2. Run the script ./scripts/setup-test-envvars.sh to setup the env vars. This script uses envchain, will use a default namespace of go-tfe and will prompt you for environment variable values. To run: sh ./scripts/setup-test-envvars.sh

  3. Or manually, pick a namespace for storing your environment variables, such as: go-tfe. Then, for each environment variable you need to set, run the following command:

    envchain --set YOUR_NAMESPACE_HERE ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_HERE

    OR

    Set all of the environment variables at once with the following command:

    envchain --set YOUR_NAMESPACE_HERE TFE_ADDRESS TFE_TOKEN OAUTH_CLIENT_GITHUB_TOKEN GITHUB_POLICY_SET_IDENTIFIER

Required ENVVARS

Tests are run against an actual backend so they require a valid backend address and token:

  1. TFE_ADDRESS - URL of a HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise instance to be used for testing, including scheme. Example: https://tfe.local
  2. TFE_TOKEN - A user API token for the HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise instance being used for testing.

Note: Alternatively, you can set TFE_HOSTNAME which serves as a fallback for TFE_ADDRESS. It will only be used if TFE_ADDRESS is not set and will resolve the host to an https scheme. Example: tfe.local => resolves to https://tfe.local

Optional ENVVARS

  1. OAUTH_CLIENT_GITHUB_TOKEN - GitHub personal access token. Required for running any tests that use VCS (OAuth clients, policy sets, etc).
  2. GITHUB_POLICY_SET_IDENTIFIER - GitHub policy set repository identifier in the format username/repository. Required for running policy set tests.
  3. GITHUB_REGISTRY_MODULE_IDENTIFIER - GitHub registry module repository identifier in the format username/repository. Required for running registry module tests.
  4. ENABLE_TFE - Some tests are only applicable to Terraform Enterprise or HCP Terraforrm. By setting ENABLE_TFE=1 you will enable Terraform Enterprise only tests and disable HCP Terraform only tests. In CI ENABLE_TFE is not set so if you are writing enterprise only features you should manually test with ENABLE_TFE=1 against a Terraform Enterprise instance.
  5. ENABLE_BETA - Some tests require access to beta features. By setting ENABLE_BETA=1 you will enable tests that require access to beta features. IN CI ENABLE_BETA is not set so if you are writing beta only features you should manually test with ENABLE_BETA=1 against a Terraform Enterprise instance with those features enabled.
  6. TFC_RUN_TASK_URL - Run task integration tests require a URL to use when creating run tasks. To learn more about the Run Task API, read here
  7. GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID - Required for running any tests that use GitHub App as the VCS provider (workspace, policy sets, registry module). These tests are skipped in the automated CI pipeline because in order to use this variable, the user has to have a GitHub App Installation setup done using the HCP Terraform UI. And then the value can be fetched either from the UI or from the GET /github-app/installations API. The test command is listed below. 
      $ GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID=ghain-xxxx TFE_ADDRESS= https://tfe.local TFE_TOKEN=xxx GITHUB_POLICY_SET_IDENTIFIER=username/repository GITHUB_REGISTRY_MODULE_IDENTIFIER=username/repository go test -run "(GHA|GithubApp)" -v ./...
  8. GITHUB_REGISTRY_NO_CODE_MODULE_IDENTIFIER - Required for running tests for workspaces using no-code modules.

3. Make sure run queue settings are correct

In order for the tests relating to queuing and capacity to pass, FRQ (fair run queuing) should be enabled with a limit of 2 concurrent runs per organization on the HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise instance you are using for testing.

4. Run tests

For most situations, it's recommended to run specific tests because it takes about 20 minutes to run all of the tests.

Running specific tests

Typically, you'll want to run specific tests. The commands below use notification configurations as an example.

With envchain:

$ envchain YOUR_NAMESPACE_HERE go test -run TestNotificationConfiguration -v ./...

Without envchain (Using TFE_ADDRESS):

$ TFE_TOKEN=xyz TFE_ADDRESS=https://tfe.local ENABLE_TFE=1 go test -run TestNotificationConfiguration -v ./...

Without envchain (Using TFE_HOSTNAME):

$ TFE_TOKEN=xyz TFE_HOSTNAME=tfe.local ENABLE_TFE=1 go test -run TestNotificationConfiguration -v ./...

Using Makefile target test

TFE_TOKEN=xyz TFE_ADDRESS=https://tfe.local TESTARGS="-run TestNotificationConfiguration" make test

Running all tests

It takes about 20 minutes to run all of the tests, so specify a larger timeout when you run the tests (the default timeout is 10 minutes):

With envchain:

$ envchain YOUR_NAMESPACE_HERE go test ./... -timeout=30m

Without envchain (Using TFE_ADDRESS):

$ TFE_TOKEN=xyz TFE_ADDRESS=https://tfe.local ENABLE_TFE=1 go test ./... -timeout=30m

Without envchain (Using TFE_HOSTNAME):

$ TFE_TOKEN=xyz TFE_HOSTNAME=tfe.local ENABLE_TFE=1 go test ./... -timeout=30m

Running tests for HCP Terraform features that require paid plans (HashiCorp Employees)

You can use the test helper upgradeOrganizationSubscription() to upgrade your test organization to a Business Plan, giving the organization access to all features in HCP Terraform. This method requires TFE_TOKEN to be a user token with administrator access in the target test environment. Furthermore, you can not have enterprise features enabled (ENABLE_TFE=1) in order to use this method since the API call fails against Terraform Enterprise test environments.
