Goss Spec

Since version 0.13.0 the cesapp is able to execute tests to verify goss specs.

How to write a goss spec for a container

There are two ways to write goss specs for a dogu. The hard way and the easy way.

The hard way

  • create a file at spec/goss/goss.yaml
  • add test cases as described in the goss documentation
  • test your spec with cesapp verify dogu-directory

The easy way

  • create a empty file at spec/goss/goss.yaml
  • verify the spec, keep the test container with cesapp verify dogu-directory --keep-container and ignore the verify error
  • jump into the container with docker exec -ti dogu-name bash
  • change the directory to /spec/goss
  • now you can add tests to goss spec e.g.: goss add file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, for a complete list have a look at the goss documentation

How it works

  • The cesapp will build the container image of the dogu
  • Dogu container is created with volumes for goss binary and spec directory
  • Container is started with goss binary mounted at /usr/bin/goss and spec directory at /spec
  • The cesapp will wait until the dogu is healthy
  • Goss will be executed with in the container and /spec/goss/goss.yaml as input
  • The test container will be stopped and removed

Build Server Integration

The verify command is able to store the results in a build server friendly manner e.g.: cesapp verify dogu-directory --ci --report-directory reports. The command will now format the output in the junit format and write the report to the file reports/goss_doguname.xml.
