Terraform vs LocalStack

This repository contains scripts and CI configurations to to run the Terraform Acceptance test suite of the AWS provider against LocalStack

Utilities

Some utilities for local development:

• bin/list-tests [--all]: list the available tests by parsing the go test files.
• bin/install-aws-test creates the binary for running the test suite (and installs it into $HOME/.cache/localstack/aws.test. requires go 1.16
• bin/run-tests [test] run a specific test. this installs and runs localstack in a background process. add the flag -t to test against an already running localstack instance.

Finding and running tests

After running bin/install-aws-test, use bin/run-tests [OPTIONS...] [TESTS...] to run individual tests or entire test suites.

Here are some examples:

• bin/run-tests TestAccAWSAPIGatewayResource
• bin/run-tests -t TestAccAWSAPIGatewayResource: same as above, but does not start localstack
• bin/run-tests TestAccAWSAPIGateway: runs all tests that match TestAccAWSAPIGateway (run bin/list-tests TestAccAWSAPIGateway to see which ones will be executed)
• bin/run-tests -e TestAccAWSAPIGatewayV2 TestAccAWSAPIGateway: same as above, but excludes all tests that match TestAccAWSAPIGatewayV2.
• bin/run-tests -i localstack-tests.incl.txt: runs all tests listed in the text file

You can use bin/list-tests with the same parameters to see which tests will be executed, or to find specific tests based on patterns.

For example:

 % bin/list-tests Queue
TestAccAWSBatchJobQueue
TestAccAWSGameliftGameSessionQueue
TestAccAWSMediaConvertQueue
TestAccAWSSQSQueue
TestAccAWSSQSQueuePolicy
TestAccDataSourceAwsBatchJobQueue
TestAccDataSourceAwsSqsQueue

or

 % bin/list-tests "Data.*Queue"
TestAccDataSourceAwsBatchJobQueue
TestAccDataSourceAwsSqsQueue

Generating the test reports

Test logs are aggregated into build/tests/*.log, the command bin/create-report will create junit-like xml reports. These can then be rendered into html using bin/create-report-html, which also creates a summary page in build/report.html. For rendering html, you need junit2html.

Travis config

Build cache

The Travis-CI worker caches the built aws.test binary across builds. The first build may therefore take a while.
