Table of Contents

# TestSuite

The TestSuite object specifies the settings for the entire test suite and should live in the test suite configuration file (kuttl-test.yaml by default, or --config):

apiVersion: kuttl.dev/v1beta1
kind: TestSuite
startKIND: true
kindContainers:
- your/image:latest
testDirs:
- tests/e2e/
timeout: 120

Supported settings:

Field Type Description Default
crdDir string Path to CRDs to install before running tests. KUTTL waits for CRDs to be available prior to starting tests.
manifestDirs list of strings Paths to manifests to install before running tests.
testDirs list of strings Directories containing test cases to run.
startControlPlane bool Whether or not to start a local etcd and kubernetes API server for the tests. false
startKIND bool Whether or not to start a local kind cluster for the tests. false
kindNodeCache bool If set, each node defined in the kind configuration will have a docker volume mounted into it to persist pulled container images across test runs false
kindConfig string Path to the KIND configuration file to use.
kindContext string KIND context to use. "kind"
skipDelete bool If set, do not delete the resources after running the tests (implies SkipClusterDelete). false
skipClusterDelete bool If set, do not delete the mocked control plane or kind cluster. false
timeout int Override the default timeout of 30 seconds (in seconds). 30
parallel int The maximum number of tests to run at once. 8
artifactsDir string The directory to output artifacts to (current working directory if not specified). .
commands list of Command Commands to run prior to running the tests. []
kindContainers list of strings List of Docker images to load into the KIND cluster once it is started. []
reportFormat string Determines the report format. If empty, no report is generated. One of: JSON, XML.
reportName string The name of report to create. This field is not used unless reportFormat is set. "kuttl-test"
namespace string The namespace to use for tests. This namespace will be created if it does not exist and removed if it was created (unless skipDelete is set). If no namespace is set, one will be auto-generated.
suppress list of strings Suppresses log collection of the specified types. Currently only events is supported.

# TestStep

The TestStep object can be used to specify settings for a test step and can be specified in any test step YAML.

apiVersion: kuttl.dev/v1beta1
kind: TestStep
delete:
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: Pod
  name: my-pod
commands:
- command: helm init

Supported settings:

Field Type Description
delete list of object references A list of objects to delete, if they do not already exist, at the beginning of the test step. The test harness will wait for the objects to be successfully deleted before applying the objects in the step.
index int Override the test step's index.
commands list of Command Commands to run prior at the beginning of the test step.

Object Reference:

Field Type Description
apiVersion string The Kubernetes API version of the objects to delete.
kind string The Kubernetes kind of the objects to delete.
name string If specified, the name of the object to delete. If not specified, all objects that match the specified labels will be deleted.
namespace string The namespace of the objects to delete.
labels map If specified, a label selector to use when looking up objects to delete. If both labels and name are unspecified, then all resources of the specified kind in the namespace will be deleted.

# TestAssert

The TestAssert object can be used to specify settings for a test step's assert and must be specified in the test step's assert YAML.

apiVersion: kuttl.dev/v1beta1
kind: TestAssert
timeout: 30

Supported settings:

Field Type Description Default
timeout int Number of seconds that the test is allowed to run for 30

# Command

The Command object is used by TestSteps and TestSuites to enable running commands in tests:

Field Type Description
command string The command and argument to run as a string.
script string Allows a shell script to run - namespaced and command should not be used with script. namespaced is ignored and command is an error. env expansion is depended upon the shell but ENV is passed to the runtime env.
namespaced bool If set, the --namespace flag will be appended to the command with the namespace to use (the test namespace for a test step or "default" for the test suite).
ignoreFailure bool If set, failures will be ignored.
background bool If this command is to be started in the background. These are only support in TestSuites.
skipLogOutput bool If set, the output from the command is not logged. Useful for sensitive logs or to reduce noise.
timeout int Override the TestSuite timeout for this command (in seconds).
