TestFM

TestFM is a test suite based on pytest-ansible that exercises The Foreman maintenance tool

Quickstart

The following is only a brief setup guide for TestFM. The section on Running the Tests provides a more comprehensive guide to using TestFM.

TestFM requires SSH access to the server system under test, and this SSH access is implemented by pytest-ansible.

Get the source code and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/SatelliteQE/testfm.git
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Before running any tests, you must create a configuration file:

cp testfm.sample.yaml testfm.local.yaml
OR
cp testfm.sample.yaml testfm.local.yaml

There are a few other things you need to do before continuing:

  • Make sure ssh-key is copied to the test system.
  • Make sure foreman maintain is installed on foreman/satellite server.

Running the Tests

Before running any tests, you must add foreman or satellite hostname to the testfm/inventory file (first copy it from`testfm/inventory.sample`).

That done, you can run tests using pytest

pytest -v --ansible-host-pattern server --ansible-user=root  --ansible-inventory testfm/inventory
tests/

It is possible to run a specific subset of tests:

pytest -v --ansible-host-pattern server --ansible-user=root --ansible-inventory testfm/inventory
tests/test_case.py

pytest -v --ansible-host-pattern server --ansible-user=root  --ansible-inventory testfm/inventory
tests/test_case.py::test_case_name
