OpenIM End-to-End (E2E) Testing Module

Overview

This repository contains the End-to-End (E2E) testing suite for OpenIM, a comprehensive instant messaging platform. The E2E tests are designed to simulate real-world usage scenarios to ensure that all components of the OpenIM system are functioning correctly in an integrated environment.

The tests cover various aspects of the system, including API endpoints, chat services, web interfaces, and RPC components, as well as performance and scalability under different load conditions.

The E2E tests are organized into the following directory structure:

• conformance/: Contains tests to verify the conformance of OpenIM API implementations.
• framework/: Provides helper code for constructing and running E2E tests using the Ginkgo framework.
  • config/: Manages test configurations and options.
  • ginkgowrapper/: Wrappers for Ginkgo's Fail and Skip functions to handle structured data panics.
  • helpers/: Utility functions for common test actions like user creation, message dispatching, etc.
• api/: E2E tests for the OpenIM API endpoints.
• chat/: Tests for the chat service, including authentication, session management, and messaging logic.
• web/: Tests for the web interface, including user interactions and information exchange.
• rpc/: E2E tests for each of the RPC components.
  • auth/: Tests for the authentication service.
  • conversation/: Tests for conversation management.
  • friend/: Tests for friend relationship management.
  • group/: Tests for group management.
  • message/: Tests for message handling.
• scalability/: Tests for the scalability of the OpenIM system.
• performance/: Performance tests, including load and stress tests.
• upgrade/: Tests for the upgrade process of OpenIM, ensuring compatibility and stability.

Prerequisites

Since the deployment of OpenIM requires some components such as Mongo and Kafka, you should think a bit before using E2E tests

docker compose up -d

OR User kubernetes deployment

Before running the E2E tests, ensure that you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Docker
• Kubernetes
• Ginkgo test framework
• Go (version 1.19 or higher)

Configuration

Test configurations can be customized via the config/ directory. The configuration files are in YAML format and allow you to set parameters such as API endpoints, user credentials, and test data.

Running the Tests

To run a single test or set of tests, you'll need the Ginkgo tool installed on your machine:

ginkgo --help
  --focus value
    	If set, ginkgo will only run specs that match this regular expression. Can be specified multiple times, values are ORed.

To run the entire suite of E2E tests, use the following command:

ginkgo -v --randomizeAllSpecs --randomizeSuites --failOnPending --cover --trace --race --progress

You can also run a specific test or group of tests by specifying the path to the test directory:

ginkgo -v ./test/e2e/chat

Or you can use Makefile to run the tests:

make test-e2e

Test Development

To contribute to the E2E tests:

1. Clone the repository and navigate to the test/e2e/ directory.
2. Create a new test file or modify an existing test to cover a new scenario.
3. Write test cases using the Ginkgo BDD style, ensuring that they are clear and descriptive.
4. Run the tests locally to ensure they pass.
5. Submit a pull request with your changes.

Please refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md file for more detailed instructions on contributing to the test suite.

Reporting Issues

If you encounter any issues while running the E2E tests, please open an issue on the GitHub repository with the following information:

Open issue: https://github.com/openimsdk/open-im-server/issues/new/choose, choose "Failing Test" template.

• A clear and concise description of the issue.
• Steps to reproduce the behavior.
• Relevant logs and test output.
• Any other context that could be helpful in troubleshooting.

Continuous Integration (CI)

The E2E test suite is integrated with CI, which runs the tests automatically on each code commit. The results are reported back to the pull request or commit to provide immediate feedback on the impact of the changes.
