Hi, I'm currently working on integration tests for the 'files' provider and during this work I started to feel we are pushing the boundaries around our test infrastructure already quite a bit. When SSSD talks over network to a server, then we're more or less okay, but for some parts of SSSD, like the files provider, we have to mock a lot of pieces and the end result is that we are testing something that resembles the target system, but probably has its own bugs. Additionally, we can't run some tests at all (anything against IPA) and I suspect we'll be running into this sort of a problem even more in the future.
So I'm interested in hearing what are other's thoughts on exploring how to run some of our tests in a privileged environment, either in a VM or in a container? Our current tests have the big advantage of being able to provision a test locally in a screen session, but maybe something similar would be possible by e.g. running a screen in a container and attaching to its tty.. And for "simple" tests like LDAP provider we could keep the current infrastructure around. _______________________________________________ sssd-devel mailing list -- sssd-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to sssd-devel-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org
