Jeremy Stanley 90d7dcb1ed Update unit test container setup and instructions
Update the TESTING.rst file to reflect that just installing and
starting zookeeperd is no longer sufficient now that we require TLS
and auth for the connection, as well as running database servers.
Suggest the container-based setup script instead. Also improve that
script to allow it to be invoked as a normal user, with root command
escalation tool choice (e.g. "sudo") supplied through a ROOTCMD
environment variable, so that things created inside the git worktree
like the CA don't end up root-owned.

Related, the tox-docker plugin previously suggested in the document
is no longer a viable option for the same reasons, so clean up the
plumbing for it in tox.ini as well.

Testing Zuul
============
------------
A Quickstart
------------
This is designed to be enough information for you to run your first tests on
an Ubuntu 20.04 (or later) host.
*Install pip*::
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
More information on pip here: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/
*Use pip to install tox*::
pip install tox
A running zookeeper is required to execute tests, but it also needs to be
configured for TLS and a certificate authority set up to handle socket
authentication. Because of these complexities, it's recommended to use a
helper script to set up these dependencies, as well as a database servers::
sudo apt-get install docker-compose # or podman-compose if preferred
ROOTCMD=sudo tools/test-setup-docker.sh
.. note:: Installing and bulding javascript is not required, but tests that
depend on the javascript assets having been built will be skipped
if you don't.
*Install javascript tools*::
tools/install-js-tools.sh
*Install javascript dependencies*::
pushd web
yarn install
popd
*Build javascript assets*::
pushd web
yarn build
popd
Run The Tests
-------------
*Navigate to the project's root directory and execute*::
tox
Note: completing this command may take a long time (depends on system resources)
also, you might not see any output until tox is complete.
Information about tox can be found here: http://testrun.org/tox/latest/
Run The Tests in One Environment
--------------------------------
Tox will run your entire test suite in the environments specified in the project tox.ini::
[tox]
envlist = <list of available environments>
To run the test suite in just one of the environments in envlist execute::
tox -e <env>
so for example, *run the test suite in py35*::
tox -e py35
Run One Test
------------
To run individual tests with tox::
tox -e <env> -- path.to.module.Class.test
For example, to *run a single Zuul test*::
tox -e py35 -- tests.unit.test_scheduler.TestScheduler.test_jobs_executed
To *run one test in the foreground* (after previously having run tox
to set up the virtualenv)::
.tox/py35/bin/stestr run tests.unit.test_scheduler.TestScheduler.test_jobs_executed
List Failing Tests
------------------
.tox/py35/bin/activate
stestr failing --list
Hanging Tests
-------------
The following will run each test in turn and print the name of the
test as it is run::
. .tox/py35/bin/activate
stestr run
You can compare the output of that to::
python -m testtools.run discover --list
