How to go about writing Integration tests?

1

I want to write tests around how I'm using openziti.

eg)

  1. create/detele identity
  2. run a tunnel/router using an identity

The first kind of tests would only require making api calls to a ziti controller, so that makes sense.
But how should I go about testing creating tunnel using an identity. That would probably require creating an ubuntu instance that runs commands to start a tunnel servicesudo systemctl enable --now ziti-edge-tunnel.service etc..

Integration tests is a term that makes it sound like you're using an SDK? If you are using an SDK, I would make a client and a server and do a fully app-embedded test That's what I did when I made the ziti ops verify traffic subcommand.

If you specifically want to test ziti-edge-tunnel/tunnelers, then you'd make a service on "both sides" (bind/dial) and then make a simple request to it (could be raw bytes, could be http, whatever)

@yemaney writing integration tests depends on your build/CI system

for example in our SDKs we run integration tests with ziti quickstart:

what is your use case?

  • are you testing creating/enrolling identity and running ZET? (this is kinda our job)
  • if your are testing using services via OpenZiti/ZET then you may opt for a permanent OpenZiti test network with a known/stable ZET identity
