Use the make test command.
E2E testing relies on a cluster running inside multiple QEMU virtual machines deployed by GoVM. The same cluster can also be used interactively when real hardware is not available.
E2E testing is known to work on a Linux development host system. The user must be allowed to use Docker.
KVM must be enabled. Usually this is the case when /dev/kvm exists.
The current user does not need the privileges to use KVM and QEMU
doesn't have to be installed because GoVM will run QEMU inside a
container with root privileges.
Note that cloud providers often don't offer KVM support on their regular machines. Search for "nested virtualization" for your provider to determine whether and how it supports KVM.
Nested virtualization is also needed when using Kata Containers inside
the cluster. On Intel-based machines it can be enabled by loading the
kvm_intel module with nested=1 (see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KVM#Nested_virtualization). At
this time, Kata Containers up to and including 1.9.1 is not
compatible with
PMEM-CSI because
volumes are not passed in as PMEM, but Kata Containers can be
installed
and used for applications that are not using PMEM.
PMEM-CSI images must have been created and published in some Docker registry, as described earlier in build PMEM-CSI. In addition, that registry must be accessible from inside the cluster. That works for the default (a local registry in the build host) but may require setting additional configuration options for other scenarios.
make start will bring up a Kubernetes test cluster inside four QEMU
virtual machines.
The first node is the Kubernetes master without
persistent memory.
The other three nodes are worker nodes with one emulated 32GB NVDIMM each.
After the cluster has been formed, make start adds storage=pmem label
to the worker nodes and deploys the PMEM-CSI driver.
Once make start completes, the cluster is ready for interactive use via
kubectl inside the virtual machine. Alternatively, you can also
set KUBECONFIG as shown at the end of the make start output
and use kubectl binary on the host running VMs.
Use make stop to stop and remove the virtual machines.
make restart can be used to cleanly reboot all virtual
machines. This is useful during development after a make push-images
to ensure that the cluster runs those rebuilt images. However, for
that to work the image pull policy has to be changed from the default
"if not present" to "always" by setting the TEST_IMAGE_PULL_POLICY
environment variable to Always.
make start generates ssh wrapper scripts _work/pmem-govm/ssh.N for each
test cluster node which are handy for running a single command or to
start an interactive shell. Examples:
_work/pmem-govm/ssh.0 kubectl get pods runs a kubectl command on
the master node.
_work/pmem-govm/ssh.1 starts a shell on the first worker node.
After make start, PMEM-CSI is not installed yet. Either install
manually as described for a normal
cluster or use the
setup-deployment.sh script.
Several aspects of the cluster and build setup can be configured by overriding
the settings in the test-config.sh file. See
that file for a description of all options. Options can be set as
environment variables of make start on a case-by-case basis or
permanently by creating a file like test/test-config.d/my-config.sh.
Multiple different clusters can be brought up in parallel by changing
the default pmem-govm cluster name via the CLUSTER env variable.
For example, this invocation sets up a cluster using an older release of Kubernetes:
TEST_KUBERNETES_VERSION=1.17 CLUSTER=kubernetes-1.17 make start
See additional details in test/test-config.d.
make test_e2e will run csi-test
sanity
tests and some Kubernetes storage
tests
against the PMEM-CSI driver.
When ginkgo is installed, then it can be used to run individual tests and to control additional aspects of the test run. For example, to run just the E2E provisioning test (create PVC, write data in one pod, read it in another) in verbose mode:
$ KUBECONFIG=$(pwd)/_work/pmem-govm/kube.config REPO_ROOT=$(pwd) ginkgo -v -focus=pmem-csi.*should.provision.storage.with.defaults ./test/e2e/
