# Test Observer | ||
|
||
Observe the status and state of certification tests for various artefacts | ||
Test Observer (TO) is a dashboard for viewing the results of tests run on different environments for a particular artefact. A user interested in testing an artefact (a deb, snap, charm or image) under different environments (particular machines or cloud setups) can use TO as means for storing, viewing and comparing results with previous runs or versions of an artefact. The last use case is particularly useful for catching regressions. Additionally, TO provides a mechanism to assign reviewers that can look at results and mark artefacts as approved or failed to gate updates. It is important to note that TO does not run the tests itself, but provides an API with which users can report the results to. | ||
|
||
## Prerequisites for deploying locally | ||
Certification currently deploys an instance of TO that they used for reviewing Stable Release Updates (SRUs). Other teams also use this instance for their tests. You can visit the `frontend <https://test-observer.canonical.com/>`_and view the `API docs <https://test-observer-api.canonical.com/docs>`_, although this currently requires Canonical VPN access. There's also a staging deployment of `frontend <https://test-observer-staging.canonical.com/>`_and `API <https://test-observer-api-staging.canonical.com/docs>`_ that teams can use to test their integration. | ||

- `lxd` 5.19 or later (`sudo snap install lxd --channel=5.19/stable` or `sudo snap refresh lxd --channel=5.19/stable` if already installed) + `lxd init --auto` after install. | ||

- optional: `jhack` for all kinds of handy Juju and charm SDK development and debugging operations (`sudo snap install jhack`) | ||
## Run Locally | ||
|
||
## Deploying a copy of the system with terraform / juju in microk8s | ||
For development look at the [backend](/backend/README.md) and [frontend](/frontend/README.md). | ||
|
||
Workaround for juju bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1988355 | ||
|
||
``` | ||
mkdir -p ~/.local/share | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Fist configure microk8s with the needed extensions: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
sudo microk8s enable dns hostpath-storage metallb ingress# metallb setup involves choosing a free IP range for the load balancer. | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Setup juju: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
juju bootstrap microk8s | ||
juju model-config logging-config="<root>=DEBUG" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Deploy the system locally with Terraform | ||
|
||
In the `terraform` directory of your working copy, complete the one-time initialisation: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
cd terraform | ||
terraform init | ||
``` | ||
|
||
After initialization (or after making changes to the terraform configuration) you can deploy the whole system with: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
TF_VAR_environment=development TF_VAR_external_ingress_hostname="mah-domain.com" terraform apply -auto-approve | ||
``` | ||
|
||
At the time of writing, this will accomplish deploying the following: | ||
|
||
- the backend API server | ||
- the frontend served using nginx | ||
- a postgresql database | ||
- nginx as ingress | ||
- backend connected to frontend (the backend's public facing base URI passed to the frontend app) | ||
- backend connected to database | ||
- backend connected to load balancer | ||
- frontend connected to load balancer | ||
|
||
Terraform works by applying changes between the current state of the system and what is in the plan (the test-observer.tf configuration file). When `terraform apply` is run the 1st time, there is no state -> it will create the Juju model and all resources inside it. When it is run with a pre-existing model already in place, it will instead set / unset config values that have changed, add / remove relations, add / remove applications, etc. Basically, it makes working with Juju declarative - yay! | ||
|
||
The terraform juju provider is documented over here: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/juju/juju/latest/docs | ||
|
||
Terraform tracks its state with a .tfstate file which is created as a result of running `terraform apply` -- for production purposes this will be stored in an S3-like bucket remotely, and for local development purposes it sits in the `terraform` directory aftery you have done a `terraform apply`). | ||
|
||
After all is up, you can run `juju switch test-observer-development` to use the development juju model. Then `juju status --relations` should give you output to the direction of the following: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ juju status --relations | ||

``` | ||
|
||
## Add /etc/hosts entries | ||
|
||
To test the application, you need to create some aliases in `/etc/hosts` to the IP address that the ingress got from `metallb` (`juju status` above will find you the ingress IP). Let's assume you have a domain `mah-domain.com` that you want to expose service under, the backend and frontend will be present as subdomains `test-observer.mah-domain.com` and `test-observer-api.mah-domain.com`, respectively: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ cat /etc/hosts | ||
192.168.0.202 test-observer.mah-domain.com test-observer-api.mah-domain.com | ||
... | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note that without this step the frontend will fail to connect to api as it's trying to use `test-observer-api.mah-domain.com` | ||
|
||
## Developing the charm | ||
|
||
To develop and test updates to the backend and frontend charms, you would typically want to first complete the above steps to deploy a working system. Once you have done that, proceed with the following steps. | ||
|
||
### Build and refresh the backend charm | ||
|
||
You can make edits to the backend charm and refresh it in the running system on the fly with: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
cd backend/charm | ||
charmcraft pack | ||
juju refresh test-observer-api --path ./test-observer-api_ubuntu-22.04-amd64.charm | ||
|
||
# to update the OCI image that runs the backend | ||
juju attach-resource test-observer-api api-image=ghcr.io/canonical/test_observer/backend:[tag or sha] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Build and refresh the frontend charm | ||
|
||
Same thing with the frontend: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
cd frontend/charm | ||
charmcraft pack | ||
|
||
juju refresh test-observer-frontend ./test-observer-frontend_ubuntu-22.04-amd64.charm | ||
|
||
# to update the OCI image that runs the backend | ||
juju attach-resource test-observer-frontend frontend-image=ghcr.io/canonical/test_observer/frontend:[tag or sha] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note that the frontend app is made aware of the backend URL to connect to using the global `window.testObserverAPIBaseURI`, which is set at runtime with some nginx config level trickery based on... | ||
|
||
- the `test-observer-api` charm's `hostname` config value. | ||
- the frontend charm's `test-observer-api-scheme` config value. | ||
|
||
These in turn can be set using the terraform plan (`terraform/test-observer.tf` and associated variables). | ||
|
||
## Running tests | ||
|
||
To run the unit and integration tests for the frontend charms, do the following: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
cd frontend/charm | ||
tox -e unit | ||
tox -e integration | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Releasing the charms | ||
|
||
Charms are released through GitHub actions on push to main. If however you need to release charms on your branch before merging with main you could always just add your branch as a trigger to those same GitHub actions. | ||
|
||
## VS Code & charm libraries | ||
|
||
VS Code fails to find (for autocompletions and code navigation purposes) the charm libraries under `lib` in each of `backend/charm` and `frontend/charm`. There is a .vscode-settings-default.json found under each of these directories which you can copy to the `.gitignore`d path `.vscode/settings.json` to make them fly. Taking the backend charm as an example: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
mkdir -p backend/charm/.vscode | ||
cp backend/charm/.vscode-settings-default.json backend/charm/.vscode/settings.json | ||
|
||
mkdir -p frontend/charm/.vscode | ||
cp frontend/charm/.vscode-settings-default.json frontend/charm/.vscode/settings.json | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now if you use as your project the directory `backend/charm` and `frontend/charm` respectively (which you'll want to do also for them to keep their own virtual environments), VS Code should be happy. | ||
|
||

|
||

|
||
### Enable the K8s Dashboard | ||
|
||
You need an auth token in case you want to connect to the kubernetes dashboard: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
microk8s kubectl describe secret -n kube-system microk8s-dashboard-token | ||
``` | ||
To run via Terraform, juju and charms simulating production and staging environments, look at [terraform](README.md) |
