Zowe Install Test

Perform Zowe installation and smoke tests.

Contents of this readme:

Programming Language And Main Testing Method

Please note, currently package.json doesn't include Babel JS, which means all test cases are written in vanilla node.js v8.x supported syntax. ES2017 and ES2018 syntax are not fully supported. Please check Node.js Support website.

Run Test Cases On Your Local

Prepare NPM Packages

Run npm install to install dependencies.

Prerequisite For E2E UI Test

By default, E2E UI test cases are launched by Selenium with Firefox driver. If you run test cases on your local, you need Firefox installed.

The existing test cases are tested on Firefox v61.0.2 which is pre-installed in Jenkins Docker Slaves. In theory, the e2e test cases should be able to run on Firefox v53 and above.

Start Test

Example command:

ZOWE_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/zowe \
  SSH_HOST=test-server \
  SSH_PORT=12022 \
  SSH_USER=********* \
  SSH_PASSWD=********* \
  ZOSMF_PORT=10443 \
  ZOWE_ZLUX_HTTPS_PORT=8544 \
  ZOWE_EXPLORER_SERVER_HTTPS_PORT=7443 \
  npm test

General Guideline For Adding Test Cases

Test Cases Directory Structure

  • All test cases are located in test directory.
  • Test cases are grouped as sub-directories:
    • test/cli: includes all CLI test cases,
    • test/e2e: includes all E2E UI test cases,
    • test/explorer: includes all Zowe Explorer API test cases,
    • test/install: includes all test cases validating Zowe installation.

Output Debugging Information

Test case can use debug package to output debugging information. For example:

// declare debug
const debug = require('debug')('test:my-testsuite:my-testcase');

// output debug information
debug('result:', result);

To show debugging information on your local, you can add DEBUG=test:* to the test command:

ZOWE_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/zowe \
  SSH_HOST=test-server \
  SSH_PORT=12022 \
  SSH_USER=********* \
  SSH_PASSWD=********* \
  ZOSMF_PORT=10443 \
  ZOWE_ZLUX_HTTPS_PORT=8544 \
  ZOWE_EXPLORER_SERVER_HTTPS_PORT=7443 \
  DEBUG=test:* \
  npm test

In Jenkins Pipeline, we have pre-defined build parameter TEST_CASE_DEBUG_INFORMATION, which can enable to show debugging information. For example, give TEST_CASE_DEBUG_INFORMATION value test:* will show all test debugging information.

Add Extra Information To HTML Result

We use mochawesome to render HTMl test report. To show more test information, like CLI result, we can use addContext. For example:

// declare addContext
const addContext = require('mochawesome/addContext');

it('my test case', async function() {
  // ...

  // I have a variable result want to show in HTML report
  addContext(this, {
    title: 'my test result',
    value: result
  });

  // ...
});

Save Screenshot And Add To HTML Report

There is helper function saveScreenshot located in test/e2e/utils.js. You can use this function to save screenshot and add to HTML Report. For example:

// declare mochawesome/addContext
const addContext = require('mochawesome/addContext');
// declare test name
const testName = path.basename(__filename, path.extname(__filename));
// declare saveScreenshot
const { saveScreenshot } = require('./utils');

it('my test case', async function() {
  // ...

  // save screenshot
  const file = await saveScreenshot(driver, testName, 'my-screen-shot-name');
  addContext(this, file);

  // ...
});

If you are testing IFrame Application, you need to set correct driver content to save screenshot, otherwise you will only have part of the whole screen be captured. In this case, you may use saveScreenshotWithIframeAppContext. For Example,

// declare mochawesome/addContext
const addContext = require('mochawesome/addContext');
// declare test name
const testName = path.basename(__filename, path.extname(__filename));
// declare saveScreenshotWithIframeAppContext
const { saveScreenshotWithIframeAppContext } = require('./utils');
// which app you are testing
const APP_TO_TEST = 'My Application';

it('my test case', async function() {
  // ...

  // save screenshot
  await saveScreenshotWithIframeAppContext(this, driver, testName, 'my-screen-shot-name', APP_TO_TEST, ['rs-com-mvd-iframe-component > iframe', 'iframe#atlasIframe']);

  // ...
});

saveScreenshotWithIframeAppContext will switch to default content before taking a screenshot:

  await driver.switchTo().defaultContent();

Then switch back to IFrame Application content by locating the application iFrame window we are testing:

  await switchToIframeAppContext(driver, appName, contexts);

Add More Test Cases

Add CLI Test Cases

This section will provide brief example how to add new CLI test cases.

  • Use createDefaultZOSMFProfile function to create dafault z/OSMF profile with name defaultZOSMFProfileName.
  • Use execZoweCli to issue a CLI command and get result.
  • Verify result.stdout, or result.stderr.

For example:

// import chai expect
const expect = require('chai').expect;
// import createDefaultZOSMFProfile & execZoweCli
const { execZoweCli, defaultZOSMFProfileName, createDefaultZOSMFProfile } = require('./utils');

describe('my test suite', function() {
  before('ensure profile', async function() {
    // ensure z/OSMF profile existence
    await createDefaultZOSMFProfile(
      zosmf_host,
      zosmf_port,
      username,
      password
    );
  });

  it('should succeed on my command', async function() {
    // issue my CLI command
    const result = await execZoweCli(`zowe ?????? --response-format-json --zosmf-profile ${defaultZOSMFProfileName}`);

    // execZoweCli should return an object with stdout and stderr properties
    expect(result).to.have.property('stdout');
    expect(result).to.have.property('stderr');

    // we choose to --response-format-json, then stdout should be a valid JSON string
    const res = JSON.parse(result.stdout);
    expect(res).to.be.an('object');
  });
});

Add API Test Cases

This section will provide brief example how to add new API test cases. Below examples uses axios to make HTTP requests.

  • Create axios object by using axios.create.
  • Make request and verify response

For example:

// import chai expect
const expect = require('chai').expect;
// import axios
const axios = require('axios');
let REQ;

describe('my test suite', function() {
  before('prepare axios', function() {
    // create axios object, set base url
    REQ = axios.create({
      baseURL: 'https://my.host-name.com:api-port/',
      timeout: 30000,
    });
  });

  it('should succeed on my api call', function() {
    const req = {
      method: 'get',
      url: '/path/to/my/api',
      // optional basic authentication
      auth: {
        username,
        password,
      }
    };

    return REQ.request(req)
      .then(function(res) {
        expect(res).to.have.property('status');
        expect(res.status).to.equal(200);

        // ...
      });
  });
});

Add E2E UI Test Cases

This section will provide brief example how to add new E2E UI test cases.

  • Call helper function getDefaultDriver to get default Selenium webdriver.
  • Login to MVD with function loginMVD.
  • Launch the application you are testing with launchApp.
  • Use waitUntilElement to wait for a certain element to be visible.
  • You can also do click, input.
  • Check test/e2e/utils.js to find more helper functions like:
    • getElements
    • getElement
    • getElementText
    • waitUntilElements
    • waitUntilElement
    • waitUntilElementIsGone
    • waitUntilIframe
    • locateApp
    • switchToIframeAppContext
    • saveScreenshot
    • saveScreenshotWithIframeAppContext

For example:

// import chai expect
const expect = require('chai').expect;
// import helper functions
const {
  getDefaultDriver,
  waitUntilElement,
  loginMVD,
  launchApp,
} = require('./utils');
let driver;
const APP_TO_TEST = 'JES Explorer';

describe('my test suite', function() {
  before('prepare webdriver and login to mvd', async function() {
    // init webdriver
    driver = await getDefaultDriver();

    // login to MVD
    await loginMVD(
      driver,
      'https://my.host-name.com:zlux-port/',
      username,
      password
    );
  });

  it('should succeed on loading application', async function() {
    // load app
    await launchApp(driver, APP_TO_TEST);
    const app = await locateApp(driver, APP_TO_TEST);
    expect(app).to.be.an('object');

    // wait until mvd viewport is ready
    const viewport = await waitUntilElement(driver, 'rs-com-mvd-window .body com-rs-mvd-viewport');
    expect(viewport).to.be.an('object');
  });
});

If you want to see the browser, you will need to disable the headless mode and let the browser wait for you.

To disable headless mode, you can find the line options.headless(); in test/e2e/utils.js getDefaultDriver function and comment it out. With this change, you can see the browser window popout from your computer when you start the e2e tests.

Then you can hold the test case to make it wait for you.

  // ...

  // hold my test case for 10 minutes so I can inspect on browser window
  await driver.sleep(10 * 60 * 1000);

  // ...

Add Installation (SSH) Test Cases

This section will provide brief example how to add new test cases to run SSH command on testing server.

  • We have imported node-ssh dependency which can make SSH connection to the server.
  • Use ssh.connect to make connection, then use ssh.execCommand to execute command on remote server.

For example:

// import chai expect
const expect = require('chai').expect;
// import node-ssh
const SSH = require('node-ssh');
const ssh = new SSH();

describe('my test suite', function() {
  before('establish ssh connection', function() {
    // establish ssh connection
    return ssh.connect({
      host: ssh_host,
      port: ssh_port,
      username,
      password,
      tryKeyboard: true,
      onKeyboardInteractive: (name, instructions, instructionsLang, prompts, finish) => {
        if (prompts.length > 0 && prompts[0].prompt.toLowerCase().includes('password')) {
          finish([password]);
        }
      }
    });
  });

  it('should succeed on my command', function() {
    return ssh.execCommand('pwd')
      .then(function(result) {
        expect(result.stderr).to.be.empty;
        expect(result.code).to.equal(0);
      });
  });
});

Troubleshooting

Error 'ZOWE_ROOT_DIR' is not recognized as an internal or external command

When you start test on Windows, you may see this error: 'ZOWE_ROOT_DIR' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Solution:

Run npm install -g cross-env and then run command

cross-env ZOWE_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/zowe SSH_HOST=test-server SSH_PORT=12022 SSH_USER=********* SSH_PASSWD=********* ZOSMF_PORT=10443 ZOWE_ZLUX_HTTPS_PORT=8544 ZOWE_EXPLORER_SERVER_HTTPS_PORT=7443 npm test

to start test.

Error: The geckodriver.exe executable could not be found on the current PATH

You may see this error if you run e2e test cases on Windows:

   Error: The geckodriver.exe executable could not be found on the current PATH. Please download the latest version from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/ and ensure it can be found on your PATH.
    at findGeckoDriver (node_modules\selenium-webdriver\firefox.js:427:11)
    at new ServiceBuilder (node_modules\selenium-webdriver\firefox.js:516:22)
    at getDefaultDriver (test\e2e\utils.js:128:19)
    at Context.<anonymous> (test\e2e\test-01-login.js:41:20)

This is because it cannot find geckodriver.exe. This file is already installed under node_modules\geckdriver.

Solution:

Run this command to add it to PATH: set "PATH=.\node_modules\geckodriver;%PATH%".

Error: SessionNotCreatedError: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities

You may receive this error when you run e2e test cases:

   SessionNotCreatedError: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities
    at Object.throwDecodedError (node_modules\selenium-webdriver\lib\error.js:550:15)
    at parseHttpResponse (node_modules\selenium-webdriver\lib\http.js:542:13)
    at Executor.execute (node_modules\selenium-webdriver\lib\http.js:468:26)
    at <anonymous>
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:189:7)

This could be caused by incompatible GechoDriver and Firefox. Here is more detail explanation on Marionette and GeckoDriver. You may find these lines in test/e2e/utils.js and try your combinations by changing binary path and marionette option.

  if (browserType === 'firefox') {
    // options.setBinary('/Applications/IBM Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox');
    // options.setPreference('marionette', true)
    //   .setPreference('marionette.logging', 'ALL');
  } else if (browserType === 'chrome') {
