You can run e2e tests on any cluster, please notice that scraping control plane could be not possible or needing
specific values depending on the flavour. The following instructions assume that e2e tests are ran inside a Minikube
cluster with containerd
runtime.
In order to run e2e tests locally you can do the following.
Initialize a test cluster.
minikube start --kubernetes-version=vX.X.X --container-runtime=containerd
minikube addons enable metrics-server
Manually install Kube State Metrics (KSM) service onto the test cluster.
helm install prometheus-community/kube-state-metrics --version v4.23.0 --generate-name
NOTE: Starting from k8s v1.26, @autoscaling/v2beta2 API is no longer available as @autoscaling/v2 replaced it. It is important that kube-state-metrics v2.7.0 is installed on the k8s v1.26.0+ test cluster because only kube-state-metrics v2.7.0 or higher can supports the @autoscaling/v2 API. Because of this, if you are running the e2e tests on a k8s v1.26.0 or later cluster, you want to install the prometheus-community/kube-state-metrics chart v4.25.0 instead. Incorrect setup will result in missing metrics, for examples: HorizontalPodAutoscaler related metrics .etc
Note that the control plane flags in e2e-values.yml
have been set meeting the minikube specifications.
Then you need to build the binary and the image. Notice that since the Dockerfile includes multiarch
support, you may need to set DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
when running docker build
for the TARGETARCH
and TARGETOS
args to be populated.
make compile-multiarch # Compile the repo binaries that will be used to create an image for testing.
export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
docker build -t e2e/nri-kubernetes:e2e .
minikube image load e2e/nri-kubernetes:e2e
Then, include helm needed repositories.
helm repo add newrelic https://helm-charts.newrelic.com
helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
You need to install the binary https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-integration-e2e-action/tree/main/newrelic-integration-e2e
used in the e2e test
go install github.com/newrelic/newrelic-integration-e2e-action@latest
You need New Relic license key (Ingest - License), Api key (User key) and Account before running the tests. More information on how to find these keys, please see this.
Set the following environment variables:
export EXCEPTION_FILE="1_22-exceptions.yml"
export LICENSE_KEY=xxx
export API_KEY=xxx
export ACCOUNT_ID=xxx
Since some metrics are removed and added depending on the k8s version, the EXCEPTION_FILE
should point, depending on the k8s version you are testing on, to one of the /e2e/*-exception.yml
files.
Run the following command to execute the test and make sure that it is ran at the root of the repo:
LICENSE_KEY=${LICENSE_KEY} EXCEPTIONS_SOURCE_FILE=${EXCEPTION_FILE} go run github.com/newrelic/newrelic-integration-e2e-action@latest \
--commit_sha=test-string --retry_attempts=5 --retry_seconds=60 \
--account_id=${ACCOUNT_ID} --api_key=${API_KEY} --license_key=${LICENSE_KEY} \
--spec_path=./e2e/test-specs.yml --verbose_mode=true --agent_enabled="false"
NOTES: For local testing purposes, we usually test against a staging environment. In order to enable testing against staging environment, the following modifications need to be made:
- Open the the
/e2e/test-specs.yml
and add--set global.nrStaging=true
to the end of any occurrences of this line- helm upgrade --install ${SCENARIO_TAG} -n nr-${SCENARIO_TAG} --create-namespace ../charts/newrelic-infrastructure ...
. - Add and set
--region="Staging"
the command that executes the tests. For example:
LICENSE_KEY=${LICENSE_KEY} EXCEPTIONS_SOURCE_FILE=${EXCEPTION_FILE} go run github.com/newrelic/newrelic-integration-e2e-action@latest \
--commit_sha=test-string --retry_attempts=5 --retry_seconds=60 \
--account_id=${ACCOUNT_ID} --api_key=${API_KEY} --license_key=${LICENSE_KEY} \
--spec_path=./e2e/test-specs.yml --verbose_mode=true --agent_enabled="false" --region="Staging"
