Running Tests

Quick Start - Run All E2E Tests

# Using go test (standard)
go test -v ./e2e -timeout=10m

# Using Ginkgo CLI (recommended, with better output)
ginkgo -v ./e2e --timeout=10m

Run Specific Test Suites

# Log backends only
ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="Log Backends" --timeout=10m

# Connections only
ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="Connections" --timeout=10m

# Secret management only
ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="Secret Management" --timeout=10m

# Query grammar only
ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="Query Grammar" --timeout=10m

Run Specific Test Descriptions

# OpenSearch tests only
ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="OpenSearch" --timeout=10m

# SFTP connection tests
ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="SFTP" --timeout=10m

# Query parsing tests
ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="Field Query Parsing" --timeout=10m

Run with Coverage

go test -v ./e2e -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -html=coverage.out

Run with Detailed Output

ginkgo -v ./e2e --timeout=10m --poll-progress-after=1m

Test Files

e2e_suite_test.go

• Purpose: Suite initialization and teardown
• Setup: Starts all services before tests
• Teardown: Stops all services after tests
• Timeout: 2 minutes for service startup

logs_test.go

• OpenSearch: Ingestion, searching, wildcard queries
• Loki: Label filtering, time range queries
• Kubernetes: Pod log retrieval, namespace filtering
• CloudWatch: Stream creation, event ingestion
• GCP Cloud Logging: Log write/read operations
• BigQuery: Query execution validation

connections_test.go

• SFTP: File upload/download, directory listing
• SMB: Share access, file operations
• S3/LocalStack: Bucket operations, multipart uploads
• GCS: Bucket and object operations
• Azure Blob Storage: Container and blob operations
• Kubernetes: Resource CRUD operations
• Git: Clone, fetch, authentication
• HTTP: GET/POST with authentication

secrets_test.go

• Secret Retrieval: Secure retrieval and caching
• Sensitive Data Redaction: Password, API key, token redaction
• SecretKeeper Interface: Get, Set, Delete, List operations
• Secret Rotation: Old/new secret validation
• Secret Encryption: AES-256-GCM, IV generation, key derivation
• Multi-Backend Support: AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, Kubernetes, Env Vars

query_test.go

• Field Queries: Exact matches, comparisons (>=, <=, !=, >, <)
• Wildcards: Prefix (), suffix (), contains (*)
• Date Math: now±Xd/h/m/s, absolute dates
• Label Selectors: Simple labels, in/notin operators, existence checks
• Complex Queries: AND/OR combinations, nested queries

Service Management

ServiceManager

Manages native binary services:

• Starts/stops services in order
• Health checks for readiness
• Port management
• Connection URLs

DockerManager

Manages Docker containers:

• Pulls and runs container images
• Port mapping
• Health checks
• Automatic cleanup

Port Allocations

Service	Port	Type
PostgreSQL	5432	Native
Redis	6379	Native
OpenSearch	9200	Native
Loki	3100	Native
LocalStack	4566	Native
SFTP	2222	Docker
SMB	445	Docker
GCS	4443	Docker

Azurite Queue	10001	Docker
Azurite Table	10002	Docker

Test Fixtures

GenerateTestLogs

Generate realistic test log data:

// Generate 100 logs with mixed levels and services
logs := helpers.GenerateTestLogs(100)

// Generate logs with specific level
errorLogs := helpers.GenerateTestLogsWithLevel(50, "error")

// Generate logs for specific service
apiLogs := helpers.GenerateTestLogsWithService(50, "api")

GenerateTestFile

Generate test file content:

data := helpers.GenerateTestFile("test.txt", 10)

Resource Naming

bucketName := helpers.GenerateBucketName("prefix")
containerName := helpers.GenerateContainerName("prefix")

Debugging

Enable Verbose Logging

ginkgo -v ./e2e --timeout=10m --poll-progress-after=1m

Run Single Test

ginkgo -v ./e2e --focus="should successfully ingest 100 log entries"

Check Service Connectivity

# Check if services are running
lsof -i :5432   # PostgreSQL
lsof -i :6379   # Redis
lsof -i :9200   # OpenSearch
lsof -i :3100   # Loki
lsof -i :4566   # LocalStack

CI Integration

GitHub Actions

E2E tests run automatically on:

• Push to main and develop branches
• Pull requests targeting main and develop
• Changes to Go files, E2E tests, or workflow files

Run Workflows Locally

# Install act (GitHub Actions locally)
brew install act

# Run E2E workflow
act -j e2e-tests

Troubleshooting

Port Already in Use

# Find process using port
lsof -i :PORT_NUMBER

# Kill process
kill -9 PID

Docker Connection Errors

# Check Docker daemon
docker ps

# Restart Docker
brew services restart docker
# or
service docker restart

Service Startup Timeout

• Increase timeout in test: --timeout=20m
• Check available disk space
• Verify network connectivity
• Review service logs

Memory Issues

• Close other applications
• Increase available RAM
• Run tests sequentially instead of parallel

Performance

Typical Test Execution Times

Metric	Time
Service startup	~30s
Log backend tests	~1m
Connection tests	~2m
Secret tests	~30s
Query tests	~1m
Service teardown	~10s
Total	~5-10 minutes

Contributing

Adding New Tests

1. Create test spec in appropriate file (logs_test.go, connections_test.go, etc.)
2. Use Ginkgo/Gomega syntax:

   It("should do something", func() {
       Expect(result).To(Equal(expected))
   })
   

3. Run tests locally: ginkgo -v ./e2e
4. Ensure tests pass before submitting PR

Test Naming Conventions

• Describe blocks: Feature name (e.g., "Log Backends", "SFTP")
• Context blocks: Scenario (e.g., "when service is running", "when uploading files")
• It blocks: Specific behavior (e.g., "should successfully ingest logs")
