# flux integration tests

Integration tester for [flux](weaveworks/flux).

This is a translation to Go of the bash script 

[test-flux](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/blob/master/test/bin/test-flux).

# Usage

```

cd test && ./download-prereqs.sh && go test -tags integration_test -start-minikube=true

```

WARNING: This will blow away your existing minikube "minikube" profile.

See below for why.

## Current status

The main differences with test-flux:

- Not broken (see [#919](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/issues/919))

- By default doesn't start/delete minikube, assumes one is already running

- Requires specific minikube and k8s versions

- Deploys flux via a helm chart

- Adds support for testing flux's helm-operator.

## Background

There's a PR ([#921](https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/pull/921)) which 

attempts to fix some of the brokenness in test-flux.  I had many issues

trying to get it to work for me, mostly relating to minikube and k8s.

- the fix relies on subpath, which is broken in k8s 1.9 prior to 1.9.5

  (see [#61076](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/61076))

- minikube with the default options has various problems in recent 

  releases (0.26.0+)

- minikube has broken the -profile option in recent releases

  (see [#2717](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/2717))

- minikube with localkube doesn't support a 1.9 release >1.9.4

- if I'm going to run minikube without localkube, I'd like to use the

  latest and greatest

What it boiled down to was that any fix I tried to make to test-flux would've

been quiet disruptive already. Moreover, I was tired of the slow feedback

loop from doing a minikube delete/start for each invocation, and I wanted to

introduce more tests (e.g. for helm), and I've written enough shell to know

when it's a good idea to stop and rewrite in a better language.
