Greenlight

CircleCI codecov

This library provides an integration testing framework for Clojure. Running a suite of tests against your systems gives you the confidence to greenlight them for promotion to production. The primary goals of this framework are:

  • Steps should be composable to drive down repetition in similar tests.
  • Tests should support parallelization out-of-the-box.
  • Results should be actionable and easy to understand.

Installation

Library releases are published on Clojars. To use the latest version with Leiningen, add the following to your project dependencies:

Clojars Project

Usage

A quick overview of greenlight usage:

(require
  '[greenlight.test :as test :refer [deftest]]
  '[greenlight.step :as step :refer [defstep]]
  '[greenlight.runner :as runner]
  '[clojure.test :refer [is]])

;; Greenlight tests are built from a collection of steps

(defstep math-test
  "A simple test step"
  :title "Simple Math Test"
  :test (fn [_] (is (= 3 (+ 1 2)))))
=> #'user/math-test

(deftest simple-test
  "A simple test of addition"
  (math-test))
=> #'user/simple-test

;; Tests and steps are just data

(simple-test)
=> {:greenlight.test/description "A simple test of addition",
    :greenlight.test/line 14,
    :greenlight.test/ns user,
    :greenlight.test/steps [{:greenlight.step/inputs {},
                             :greenlight.step/name math-test,
                             :greenlight.step/test #<Fn@7bb15aaa user/math_test[fn]>,
                             :greenlight.step/title "Simple Math Test"}],
    :greenlight.test/title "simple-test"}


;; Tests can be ran individually

(test/run-test! {} (simple-test))

;; Or as part of a suite with configurable reporters

=> true

Test System

Tests are executed with a system of components. The component lifecycle is managed by the test runner: components are started on test startup and then stopped on test completion.

(require '[com.stuartsierra.component :as component])

(defrecord TestComponent
  []

  component/Lifecycle
  (start [this]
    (println "Starting test component")
    this)

  (stop [this]
    (println "Stopping test component")
    this))

(runner/run-tests!
  (constantly (component/system-map ::component (->TestComponent)))
  [(simple-test)]
  {})

; Starting test system...
; Starting test component
; Running 1 tests...
;
;  * Testing simple-test
;  | user:690
;  | A simple test of addition
;  |
;  +->> Simple Math Test
;  | 1 assertions (1 pass)
;  | [PASS] (0.000 seconds)
;  |
;  |
;  * PASS (0.001 seconds)
;
;
; Ran 1 tests containing 1 steps with 1 assertions:
; * 1 pass
;
; Stopping test component
=> true

If you wish to hook into another system library such as integrant, use the ManagedSystem protocol provider in the runner namespace, which supports extension via metadata:

(extend-protocol runner/ManagedSystem
  java.util.Map
  (start-system [this] (integrant/init this))
  (stop-system [this] (integrant/halt! this)))

(runner/run-tests! (constantly {:some-system-map :with-components})
                   tests {})

;;;Alternatively:

(runner/run-tests! (constantly
                     (with-meta {:some-system-map :with-components}
                       {`runner/start-system (fn [this] (println "Starting test system...") this)
                        `runner/stop-system (fn [this] (println "Stopping test system...") nil)}))
                   tests {})

Step Inputs and Outputs

Test steps support parameterization through their inputs. Inputs can be statically configured, pull components from the test system, or pull values built up from previous steps in the test context.

Steps can additionally have outputs. These outputs are registered in the test context and passed to subsequent steps. Outputs can be registered under a key, a collection of keys, or as a function of the previous context.

(defstep step-with-output-keyword
  "A step demonstrating a keyword output"
  :title "Keyword output"
  :test (constantly 1)
  :output :foo)

(defstep step-with-collection-output
  "A step demonstrating a nested output"
  :title "Nested output"
  :test (constantly 2)
  :output [:a :b :c])

(defstep step-with-inputs
  "A step demonstrating different input types"
  :title "Step with inputs"
  :inputs {;; For defaulting values
           :a 1
           ;; Extracting from test system
           :b (step/component ::component)
           ;; Extracting from test context
           :c (step/lookup :foo)
           ;; Context lookups can be a collection
           :d (step/lookup [:a :b :c])
           ;; Or for ultimate flexibility: a function
           :e (step/lookup (fn [ctx] (:bar ctx)))}
  :test (fn [{:keys [a b c d e]}]
          (is (every? some? [a b c d e]))))

(deftest inputs-and-outputs
  "A test demonstrating inputs and outputs"
  (step-with-output-keyword)
  (step-with-collection-output)
  ;; Steps can also be defined inline
  #::step{:title "function output"
          :name 'step-with-function-output
          :test (constantly 3)
          :output (fn [ctx test-output]
                    (assoc ctx :bar (* 2 test-output)))}
  (step-with-inputs
    ;; Override step inputs
    {:a :override-default}
    ;; Override step configuration
    :output :new-output
    :title "New Title"))

(runner/run-tests!
  (constantly (component/system-map ::component (->TestComponent)))
  [(inputs-and-outputs)]
  {})

=> true

Step Cleanup

Often, steps will create some resource that should be removed on test completion. The step/clean! multimethod along with step/register-cleanup! allows for test steps to register resource specific cleanups. These cleanups are performed in reverse order of registration.

(defmethod step/clean! :foo/bar
  [system resource-type k]
  (printf "Removing %s resource %s" resource-type k)
  ;; Actual cleanup using system component
  )

(defstep step-with-cleanup
  "A step demonstrating resource cleanup"
  :title "Step with cleanup"
  :test (fn [_]
          (step/register-cleanup! :foo/bar :my-key)))

(deftest test-with-cleanup
  "A test demonstrating resource cleanup"
  (step-with-cleanup))

(runner/run-tests!
  (constantly {})
  [(test-with-cleanup)]
  {})

; Starting test system...
; Running 1 tests...
;
;  * Testing test-with-cleanup
;  | user:13
;  | A test demonstrating resource cleanup
;  |
;  +->> Step with cleanup
;  | 0 assertions ()
;  | [PASS] (0.000 seconds)
;  |
;  +->> Cleaning :foo/bar resource :my-key
; Removing :foo/bar resource :my-key |
;  * PASS (0.000 seconds)
;
; Ran 1 tests containing 1 steps with 0 assertions:
; * 1 pass
=> true

Test Discovery

Tests can be specified explictly when running tests, or by utilizing runner/find-tests, which retrieves tests based on a matcher. The matcher can be either a keyword to match against test metadata or a regular expression to match test name.

(deftest ^:quick test-1
  ",,,"
  ,,,)

(deftest test-2
  ",,,"
  ,,,)

(runner/find-tests :quick)
=> (#:greenlight.test{:description ",,,", :title "test-1", :ns user, :line 1, :steps []})

(runner/find-tests #"test-2")
=> (#:greenlight.test{:description ",,,", :title "test-2", :ns user, :line 5, :steps []})

Parallel Test Execution

Tests can be executed in parallel by providing a --parallel option with a number of threads. Tests can be further grouped with ::test/group metadata to indicate that tests within the same group should run serially.

If a ::test/group is not provided, a test is placed in its own group. Groups of tests are run in parallel.

(deftest simple1
  (math-test))

(deftest simple2
  {::test/group :sync}
  (math-test))

(deftest simple3
  {::test/group :sync}
  (math-test))

;; Will run `simple1` and `simple2` concurrently, then
;; `simple3` on completion of `simple2`.
(runner/run-tests!
  (constantly {})
  [(simple1)
   (simple2)
   (simple3)]
  {:parallel 2})

Retrying steps

Integration tests can sometimes be slow, or reliant on less stable systems. When running such tests manually, it can be helpful to not have to rerun entire tests from the beginning. You can do this by passing {:on-fail :prompt} to the test runner:

(runner/run-tests!
  (constantly {})
  [(simple1)
   (simple2)
   (simple3)]
  {:on-fail :prompt})

When a step fails, it will now ask if you want to retry the step.
