Every software that we make depends on others. For Stankins , as a general ETL data, it is more important to be tested with real data providers.For example, we may want to take data from Sql Server and send to Cachet . How can we have a SqlServer and a Cachet up and running easy ? The obvious answer our days is Docker.

Let’s see how a test for SqlServer looks

using FluentAssertions;
using Stankins.Alive;
using Stankins.Interfaces;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Xbehave;
using Xunit;

namespace StankinsTestXUnit
{
    [Trait("ReceiverSqlServer", "")]
    [Trait("ExternalDependency","SqlServer")]
    public class TestReceiverSqlServer
    {
        [Scenario]
        [Example("Server=(local);Database=master;User Id=SA;Password = <YourStrong!Passw0rd>;")]
        public void TestReceiverDBServer(string connectionString)
        {
            IReceive status = null;
            IDataToSent data = null;
            $"Assume Sql Server instance {connectionString} exists , if not see docker folder".w(() => {

            });
            $"When I create the ReceiverDBServer ".w(() => status = new ReceiverDBSqlServer(connectionString));
            $"and receive data".w(async () =>
            {
                data = await status.TransformData(null);
            });
            $"the data should have a table".w(() =>
            {
                data.DataToBeSentFurther.Count.Should().Be(1);
            });
            $"and the result should be true".w(() =>
            {
                data.DataToBeSentFurther[0].Rows[0]["IsSuccess"].Should().Be(true);
            });


        }
    }
}

and for cachet :

using FluentAssertions;
using Stankins.FileOps;
using Stankins.Interfaces;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Stankins.Rest;
using Xbehave;
using Xunit;
using static System.Environment;
using Stankins.Trello;
using Stankins.Cachet;

namespace StankinsTestXUnit
{
    [Trait("Cachet", "")]
    [Trait("ExternalDependency", "Cachet")]
    public class TestSenderCachet
    {
        [Scenario]
        [Example("Assets/JSON/CachetV1Simple.txt", 3)]
        public void TestSimpleJSON(string fileName,int NumberRows)
        {
            IReceive receiver = null;
           
            IDataToSent data=null;
            var nl = Environment.NewLine;
            $"Given the file {fileName}".w(() =>
            {
                File.Exists(fileName).Should().BeTrue();
            });
            $"When I create the {nameof(ReceiveRest)} for the {fileName}".w(() => receiver = new ReceiveRestFromFile(fileName));
            $"And I read the data".w(async () =>data= await receiver.TransformData(null));
            $"Then should be a data".w(() => data.Should().NotBeNull());
            $"With a table".w(() =>
            {
                data.DataToBeSentFurther.Should().NotBeNull();
                data.DataToBeSentFurther.Count.Should().Be(1);
            });
            $"The number of rows should be {NumberRows}".w(() => data.DataToBeSentFurther[0].Rows.Count.Should().Be(NumberRows));
            $"and now I transform with {nameof(SenderCachet)}".w(async ()=>
                data=await new SenderCachet("http://localhost:8000","5DiHQgKbsJqck4TWhMVO").TransformData(data)
            );

        } 

    }
}

( I have use XBehave for extensions)

Nice and easy , right ? Not so!

For up and running SqlServer I have used a docker compose file

version: '3'
services:
   db:
     image: mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server
     ports:
       - "1433:1433"
     environment:
       SA_PASSWORD: "<YourStrong!Passw0rd>"
       ACCEPT_EULA: "Y"
     healthcheck:
       test: sqlcmd -S (local) -U SA -P '<YourStrong!Passw0rd>' -Q 'select 1'

and in AzureDevOps yaml start the containers, run the tests, collect the code coverage, stop the containers

docker-compose -f stankinsv2/solution/StankinsV2/StankinsTestXUnit/Docker/docker-sqlserver-instance-linux.yaml up -d  
        

echo 'start regular test'
        
         dotnet build -c $(buildConfiguration) stankinsv2/solution/StankinsV2/StankinsV2.sln
        
         dotnet test stankinsv2/solution/StankinsV2/StankinsTestXUnit/StankinsTestXUnit.csproj --logger trx  --logger "console;verbosity=normal" --collect "Code coverage"
         echo 'coverlet'
         coverlet stankinsv2/solution/StankinsV2/StankinsTestXUnit/bin/$(buildConfiguration)/netcoreapp2.2/StankinsTestXUnit.dll --target "dotnet" --targetargs "test stankinsv2/solution/StankinsV2/StankinsTestXUnit/StankinsTestXUnit.csproj --configuration $(buildConfiguration) --no-build" --format opencover --exclude "[xunit*]*"
        
         echo 'compose down'
         docker-compose -f stankinsv2/solution/StankinsV2/StankinsTestXUnit/Docker/docker-sqlserver-instance-linux.yaml down
        

Easy, right ? That’s because SqlServer is well behaved and has a fully functional image on Docker

That is not so easy with Cachet . Cachet requires configuration – and more, after configuration, it generates a random token for write data  ( http://localhost:8000","5DiHQgKbsJqck4TWhMVO ) .

So it will be a task for docker to export the container and import again  - easy stuff, right ? Again, not.

So I start a small docker container with

docker run -p 8000:8000 –name myCachetContainer -e APP_KEY=base64:ybug5it9Koxwhfi5a6CORbWdpjVqXxkz/Tyj4K45GKc= -e DEBUG=false -e DB_DRIVER=sqlite cachethq/docker

and then browsing to http://localhost:8000 I have configured and grab the token

Now it is time to export :

docker export myCachetContainer -o cachet.tar

And to import as an image

docker import cachet.tar  mycac

And to run the image again

docker run -p 8000:8000  -e APP_KEY=base64:ybug5it9Koxwhfi5a6CORbWdpjVqXxkz/Tyj4K45GKc= -e DEBUG=false -e DB_DRIVER=sqlite cachethq/docker

And the image stopped! After many tries and docker inspect the initial image , I have resulted to

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 -e APP_KEY=base64:ybug5it9Koxwhfi5a6CORbWdpjVqXxkz/Tyj4K45GKc= -e DEBUG=false -e DB_DRIVER=sqlite --workdir /var/www/html --user 1001:1001 mycac "/sbin/entrypoint.sh"

So the workdir, user, and the entry point are not copied into the image and you should do youurself.

The final preparing for CI with Docker for Cachet ? I have docker push myimage to Docker Hub , and I will run it from docker compose.

So now my docker compose with sql server and cachet looks this way

version: '3'
services:
   db:
     image: mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server
     ports:
       - "1433:1433"
     environment:
       SA_PASSWORD: "<YourStrong!Passw0rd>"
       ACCEPT_EULA: "Y"
     healthcheck:
       test: sqlcmd -S (local) -U SA -P '<YourStrong!Passw0rd>' -Q 'select 1'

  cachet:
     image: ignatandrei/ci_cachet
     ports:
       - "8000:8000"
      
     environment:
       APP_KEY: "base64:ybug5it9Koxwhfi5a6CORbWdpjVqXxkz/Tyj4K45GKc="
       DEBUG: "false"
       DB_DRIVER: "sqlite"
       
     user: "1001"   
     working_dir: "/var/www/html"
     entrypoint: "/sbin/entrypoint.sh"

And I have a nice C# integration tests with Azure Devops, Docker, Sql Server and Cachet ! You can see the code coverage report at https://codecov.io/gh/ignatandrei/stankins/src/master/stankinsv2/solution/StankinsV2/Stankins.Cachet/SenderCachet.cs
