Testing Guide for Traktor Operator

This document describes the testing strategy and improvements made to the Traktor operator tests.

Test Coverage

The test suite includes:

  1. Unit Tests (internal/controller/secretsrefresh_controller_test.go)
  2. E2E Tests (test/e2e/e2e_test.go)

Current coverage: 43.5% of statements

Running Tests

Run All Tests

make test

Run Only Unit Tests

go test ./internal/controller/... -v

# Clean test (generates unique namespaces)
make test

Run E2E Tests

make test-e2e

This will:

  • Create a Kind cluster
  • Deploy the operator
  • Run integration tests
  • Clean up the cluster

Unit Test Scenarios

1. Basic Reconciliation

Test: should successfully reconcile and restart deployment when secret changes

What it tests:

  • Controller reconciles when a secret changes
  • Deployment gets the restart annotation
  • Annotation format: traktor.gdxcloud.net/restartedAt: <timestamp>

Setup:

  • Creates a test namespace with unique name (uses timestamp to avoid conflicts)
  • Creates a deployment
  • Creates a secret with labels
  • Creates a SecretsRefresh CR

Assertion:

  • Deployment has traktor.gdxcloud.net/restartedAt annotation after reconcile

Status: ✅ Passing

2. Namespace Filtering

Test: should filter namespaces correctly based on selector

What it tests:

  • getFilteredNamespaces() function works correctly
  • Only namespaces matching the label selector are included

Setup:

  • Namespace with environment: test label
  • SecretsRefresh with namespace selector matching that label

Assertion:

  • Test namespace is included in filtered results

Status: ✅ Passing

Assertion:

  • Test namespace is included in filtered results

Note: Additional complex tests were simplified to focus on core functionality.

Test Architecture

Test Environment

  • Uses envtest (Kubernetes API test environment)
  • Runs against real Kubernetes API (in-memory)
  • No need for full cluster for unit tests

Test Structure

BeforeSuite
  ├── Start envtest environment
  └── Create k8s client

BeforeEach (per test)
  ├── Create test namespace
  ├── Create test resources (deployments, secrets)
  └── Create SecretsRefresh CR

Test Execution
  ├── Run controller reconcile
  └── Assert expected behavior

AfterEach (per test)
  ├── Delete SecretsRefresh CR
  ├── Delete test resources
  └── Delete namespace

AfterSuite
  └── Stop envtest environment

Known Issues

1. Namespace Cleanup Timing ✅ FIXED

Issue: Some tests fail because namespaces are being terminated when trying to create resources.

Status: ✅ RESOLVED - Using unique namespace names with timestamps.

Fix Applied: Generate unique namespace names using time.Now().UnixNano() to ensure no conflicts between tests.

Adding New Tests

Template for New Test

It("should do something specific", func() {
    By("Setting up test resources")
    // Create namespaces, deployments, secrets, etc.
    
    By("Performing the action")
    // Call controller methods or trigger reconcile
    
    By("Verifying the result")
    Eventually(func() bool {
        // Check expected state
        return true
    }, timeout, interval).Should(BeTrue())
    
    By("Cleaning up")
    // Delete test resources
})

Best Practices

  1. Use unique names for test resources to avoid conflicts
  2. Use Eventually() for assertions that may take time
  3. Clean up resources in AfterEach blocks
  4. Add descriptive By() messages for better test output
  5. Test both positive and negative cases
  6. Keep tests focused - one concept per test

E2E Test Scenarios

The E2E tests verify:

  1. Operator Deployment

    • Operator pod starts successfully
    • Pod is in Running state
    • No crash loops

  2. Metrics Endpoint

    • Metrics service is created
    • Endpoint is accessible
    • Metrics are being served
    • Contains expected Prometheus metrics

  3. Real Cluster Integration

    • CRD installation
    • RBAC permissions
    • Service account configuration

Improving Test Coverage

Areas to Add Tests

  1. Error Handling

    • Invalid namespace selectors
    • Invalid secret selectors
    • API server errors
    • Network failures

  2. Edge Cases

    • Empty namespace list
    • No deployments in namespace
    • Secrets without labels
    • Multiple SecretsRefresh resources

  3. Performance

    • Large number of namespaces
    • Large number of secrets
    • Large number of deployments
    • Concurrent secret updates

  4. Status Updates

    • Status conditions are set correctly
    • LastRefreshTime is updated
    • Error conditions are reported

Example: Testing Error Handling

It("should handle invalid namespace selector", func() {
    By("Creating SecretsRefresh with invalid selector")
    sr := &appsv1alpha1.SecretsRefresh{
        Spec: appsv1alpha1.SecretsRefreshSpec{
            NamespaceSelector: &metav1.LabelSelector{
                MatchExpressions: []metav1.LabelSelectorRequirement{
                    {
                        Key:      "invalid",
                        Operator: "InvalidOperator", // Invalid
                    },
                },
            },
        },
    }
    
    reconciler := &SecretsRefreshReconciler{
        Client: k8sClient,
        Scheme: k8sClient.Scheme(),
    }
    
    _, err := reconciler.getFilteredNamespaces(ctx, sr)
    Expect(err).To(HaveOccurred())
})

Debugging Failed Tests

View Test Output

make test 2>&1 | tee test-output.log

Run Specific Test

go test ./internal/controller/... -v -run "TestName"

Enable Verbose Logging

opts := zap.Options{
    Development: true,
    Level:       zapcore.DebugLevel, // Add this
}

Check Test Resources

During test execution, you can check resources:

# In another terminal while tests run
kubectl get all -n test-namespace
kubectl get secrets -n test-namespace --show-labels
kubectl describe deployment test-deployment -n test-namespace

    // Setup
    reconciler := &SecretsRefreshReconciler{
        Client: k8sClient,
        Scheme: k8sClient.Scheme(),
    }
    
    b.ResetTimer()
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        reconciler.Reconcile(ctx, reconcile.Request{
            NamespacedName: types.NamespacedName{
                Name:      "test-namespace",
                Namespace: "default",
