Description Julian Maurice 2017-12-15 14:17:57 UTC
Running the tests on the same database as the one used for dev has some drawbacks:
- Everybody has different data, so we cannot make any assumptions about data in tests and it can make tests fail for non-obvious reasons.
- Tests have to clean up every change to the database using SQL transactions, so we cannot write testable code that use transactions (AFAIK)
- Transactions in tests happen to be committed sometimes, resulting in garbage data added to the dev database

I'll send a patch that allows to run tests in a separate database in order to address these issues.

Comment 2 Julian Maurice 2017-12-15 14:44:57 UTC
Note: this patch is a proof of concept and its main purpose is to start a discussion (should we run tests in a separate database, should we provide a .proverc, ...?)

Please test and discuss!

Hi Jon, thanks for testing.

I cannot reproduce the same problem as you but I noticed that the temporary file is not always written to before it's used. The last patch should fix that.
If that doesn't work for you, could you remove the 'UNLINK => 1' param from tempfile call and inspect the content of the created temporary file after prove ?

[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 19821: Run tests on a separate database

Running the tests on the same database as the one used for dev has some
drawbacks:
- Everybody has different data, so we cannot make any assumptions about
data in tests and it can make tests fail for non-obvious reasons.
- Tests have to clean up every change to the database using SQL
transactions, so we cannot write testable code that use transactions
(AFAIK)
- Transactions in tests happen to be committed sometimes, resulting in
garbage data added to the dev database

This patch provides a .proverc file that will load t/lib/Bootstrap.pm
before the tests are run.
t/lib/Bootstrap.pm is responsible for recreating a fresh database and
telling the test scripts to use it.
To use it, just run prove normally from the root directory of Koha.
By default, the database is 'koha_test' and it's created using MARC21
SQL files, it can be changed by running:

    prove --norc \
    --Mt::lib::Bootstrap=database,koha_test,marcflavour,UNIMARC

Test plan:
1. mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON koha_test.* TO
          <your-db-user>@localhost
2. cd /path/to/koha
3. prove t/db_dependent/<pick-your-favorite-test-here>.t
4. Verify that it created the database koha_test and that the one you
   use usually was untouched (you can edit the test file and comment the
   lines related to a transaction (txn_begin, txn_rollback))

Comment 8 Marcel de Rooy 2017-12-18 10:32:19 UTC
Interesting.
I'm just thinking if we should not resolve the garbage data problem instead of working around it with another database. 
I would rather not default to another database.
If you create an additional clone with db and koha-conf, you can just run another export KOHA_CONF and run a test on the other db?

Sure we could, but
1) I think it cannot be fixed once and for all (patch writer could forget to setup the DB transaction in tests, when you will test the patch it will alter your database)
2) It doesn't fix the other problems (non obvious fails caused by different data, non testable "transactions-using" code)

> I would rather not default to another database.
Can you elaborate on why you prefer to keep only one database ?

> If you create an additional clone with db and koha-conf, you can just run
> another export KOHA_CONF and run a test on the other db?
Right, but
1) It's error-prone (I know I will forget to change KOHA_CONF at some point)
2) If I'm the only one doing that, it only fixes my "garbage data" problem. 

However if everyone starts using the same database for tests, it might ease writing and running tests. It also make testing with another marcflavour very easy (maybe some day all tests will pass in UNIMARC... :))

will not be read by webserver (used for selenium tests).

Moreover on bug 19185 we are testing the installation process and we do

Julian,
I am more or less stealing this bug report for bug 19185. I am willing to move/rewrite these 2 patches somewhere else if you think I lost too much your initial idea.
The goal here is more to have a first working thing pushed, and then see later how we can re-use/modify it.

Yes, maybe we need to remove proverc in this iteration, and readd it later. So far no args is used from Bootstrap.

Yes it is:
 30     $dbh->do("DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS $database_test");
 31     $dbh->do("CREATE DATABASE $database_test");


I cannot retest right now, my selenium tests do not run (local issue).

TODO: remove proverc and update the test plan.
Test plan:
-  prove t/db_dependent/selenium/authentication.t # "database" from conf will be used
-  prove -Mt::lib::Bootstrap t/db_dependent/selenium/authentication.t # will die because "database_test" does not exist
- Add the database_test entry to your koha-conf, use the same value as database
-  prove -Mt::lib::Bootstrap t/db_dependent/selenium/authentication.t # die with "same values"
- Modify database_test to be different than database
-  prove -Mt::lib::Bootstrap t/db_dependent/selenium/authentication.t # Will drop, create and use "database_test" to run the tests.

Should bug 19185 be a dependency here?
Comment 33 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2019-04-08 16:07:12 UTC
I had it the other way around.. that kind of depend upon each other though I suppose.. they need testing in conjunction with each other.

Comment 35 Katrin Fischer 2019-05-11 19:31:11 UTC
Could I get an updated test plan here?

Is it still required to grant the permissions on the db? How do we plan on handling that in kohadevbox etc.?

(In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #35)
> Could I get an updated test plan here?

See bug 19185 comment 23.

> Is it still required to grant the permissions on the db?

Yes of course, we need to drop and create the DB.

> How do we plan on handling that in kohadevbox etc.?

We need to know if the way we handle database_test is correct (for instance if it exists, it will be used, even in production). And then need to document it (also add more doc in the code ($KOHA_CONF and Koha::Database).

It's more jenkins that will need to be adjust, to run 00-installation.t first and with -Mt::lib::Bootstrap

When we will reach that goal, we will still be far from what Julian wanted at the beginning: all tests run on a separate DB.
But at least we will have the installation and onboarding process tested.

Also missing here (bug 19185): test the installation for all languages.

So yes, still a lot of work to do. But until we do not have the bases pushed, we are all stuck.

Comment 38 Marcel de Rooy 2019-09-13 09:47:07 UTC
I am not sure if we should have coupled the option of a test database and the selenium test environment on this report.
The two config options database and database_test do not seem a good idea to me, intuitively. It looks more like a hack? (Also taken in consideration that git grep shows me that the database config variable is used in more places.)

On another report we already had a discussion about the rollback of changes for selenium tests. I think we'd better separate the test suite from the selenium tests. And actually, we have already the tools to create separate instances for selenium and testing. With a separate KOHA_CONF in the webserver configuration selenium can be run on its own. Same for t/db_dependent. Only thing is that we want to do it faster. But does that justify a bunch of code changes that might jeopardize code quality?

This needs (imo) more serious thought and a broader discussion.
Comment 39 Marcel de Rooy 2019-09-13 09:48:56 UTC

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for your interest :)

I am not sure I understand your concern, one this report we are not talking about selenium tests. On bug 19185 we are going to use this enhancement to test the onboarding and installation process.

> The two config options database and database_test do not seem a good idea to

It does not sound bad for me. We specify in our config the name of the DB for tests. We could have hardcoded here in the code, but seemed better to make it configurable.
What did you git grep exactly? To get the dbh you must call C4::Context->dbh, nothing else.

We could improve it later. So far it the safest and easiest way to test the onboarding and installation process. It seems a fundamental to back the RM before they roll a new release. Keep in mind that the original idea is to make the onboarding and installation process run for all languages.

> This needs (imo) more serious thought and a broader discussion.

IIRC the discussion has been launched on koha-devel about 2 years ago ;)

That was the original idea, see "Bug 19821: Do not modify KOHA_CONF, use new database_test entry instead".

Bug 19821: Do not modify KOHA_CONF, use new database_test entry instead

I have tried to use the original idea of this patch for bug 19185, but
it cannot work as it. ENV is not shared between processus and KOHA_CONF
will not be read by webserver (used for selenium tests).

Moreover on bug 19185 we are testing the installation process and we do
not want the database to be populated with sample data, we just need a

Which is the "test file"? The one picked in step 3? Then one must chose one that use transactions.

Whichever you want that is in t/db_dependent
Comment 50 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-04-21 03:29:59 UTC
Thanks for the explanations.

The DB is not being created, here is what I did (on koha_testing_docker)

> No koha_test

The DB is created then dropped. Try with a test file that takes several seconds to finish(selenium tests for instance), then try the "show databases" while the tests are running.
Comment 52 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-04-21 17:45:20 UTC
It didn't happen during the following.
prove t/db_dependent/selenium/basic_workflow.t

The following confirmed that the test was done in the main DB.
select count(*) from koha_kohadev.borrowers;

note that I only did what I wrote in comment 50

Do I need to apply the patches of bug 19185 and the patches of this bug at the same time? And then I run the test plan of comment 41 and then the test plan of bug 19185 comment 23?

Bug 19821: Run tests on a separate database

Running the tests on the same database as the one used for dev has some
drawbacks:
- Everybody has different data, so we cannot make any assumptions about
data in tests and it can make tests fail for non-obvious reasons.
- Tests have to clean up every change to the database using SQL
transactions, so we cannot write testable code that use transactions
(AFAIK)
- Transactions in tests happen to be committed sometimes, resulting in
garbage data added to the dev database

This patch provides a .proverc file that will load t/lib/Bootstrap.pm
before the tests are run.
t/lib/Bootstrap.pm is responsible for recreating a fresh database and
telling the test scripts to use it.
To use it, just run prove normally from the root directory of Koha.
By default, the database is 'koha_test' and it's created using MARC21
SQL files, it can be changed by running:

    prove --norc \
    --Mt::lib::Bootstrap=database,koha_test,marcflavour,UNIMARC

Test plan:
1. Apply bug 19185 which will also apply these patches
2. In the DBMS run `select count(*) from koha_kohadev.borrowers;`
     (adapt if your usual koha DB isn't koha_kohadev)
3. Run the test plan of bug 19185 and during execution of the
   installation test, pay attention to the following:
4. List the databases in the DBMS (show databases;) to ensure that
   koha_test is created
5. After the test has run, the koha_test database should not be here anymore.
6. In the DBMS run `select count(*) from koha_kohadev.borrowers;`
7. That was to verify that the database you use usually was untouched.
   The counts should be the same.

Comment 61 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-04-21 20:02:54 UTC
Signed off, I did nothing more than what's the test plan in the patch so I hope I didn't missed something when I rewrote it.

The only thing that I'm not confident about is «verify that the database you use usually was untouched»

Before there was in the test plan:

> (you can edit the test file and comment the lines related to a transaction (txn_begin, txn_rollback))

There are none in selenium/00-installation.t

Is counting the users in the main DB before and after the install tests enough?
Or checking that the user "SuperL" created during the test isn't in the main DB?


== Diff of the test plan ==
=== Before ===
Test plan:
1. mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON koha_test.* TO
          <your-db-user>@localhost
2. cd /path/to/koha
3. prove t/db_dependent/<pick-your-favorite-test-here>.t
4. Verify that it created the database koha_test and that the one you
   use usually was untouched (you can edit the test file and comment the
   lines related to a transaction (txn_begin, txn_rollback))


=== After ===
Test plan:
1. Apply bug 19185 which will also apply these patches
2. In the DBMS run `select count(*) from koha_kohadev.borrowers;`
     (adapt if your usual koha DB isn't koha_kohadev)
3. Run the test plan of bug 19185 and during execution of the
   installation test, pay attention to the following:
4. List the databases in the DBMS (show databases;) to ensure that
   koha_test is created

Hi Kyle,

The test plan provided by Victor is quite good.

If you want to "just it passes" you can:

1.
$ mysql -h db -u root --password=password
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `koha_test`.* TO 'koha_kohadev';

2.
# Edit $KOHA_CONF and add 
 <database_test>koha_test</database_test>

3.
$ prove -Mt::lib::Bootstrap t/db_dependent/selenium/00-installation.t

And the tests should pass. But the different steps described by Victor are useful to understand how it works.
Comment 64 Jonathan Druart 2020-06-05 10:33:23 UTC

Bug 19821: Run tests on a separate database

Running the tests on the same database as the one used for dev has some
drawbacks:
- Everybody has different data, so we cannot make any assumptions about
data in tests and it can make tests fail for non-obvious reasons.
- Tests have to clean up every change to the database using SQL
transactions, so we cannot write testable code that use transactions
(AFAIK)
- Transactions in tests happen to be committed sometimes, resulting in
garbage data added to the dev database

This patch provides a .proverc file that will load t/lib/Bootstrap.pm
before the tests are run.
t/lib/Bootstrap.pm is responsible for recreating a fresh database and
telling the test scripts to use it.
To use it, just run prove normally from the root directory of Koha.
By default, the database is 'koha_test' and it's created using MARC21
SQL files, it can be changed by running:

    prove --norc \
    --Mt::lib::Bootstrap=database,koha_test,marcflavour,UNIMARC

Test plan:
1. Apply bug 19185 which will also apply these patches
2. In the DBMS run `select count(*) from koha_kohadev.borrowers;`
     (adapt if your usual koha DB isn't koha_kohadev)
3. Run the test plan of bug 19185 and during execution of the
   installation test, pay attention to the following:
4. List the databases in the DBMS (show databases;) to ensure that
   koha_test is created
5. After the test has run, the koha_test database should not be here anymore.
6. In the DBMS run `select count(*) from koha_kohadev.borrowers;`
7. That was to verify that the database you use usually was untouched.
   The counts should be the same.

Bug 19821: Install sample data, ES mappings and Version syspref

Also move .proverc to .proverc.dist, so it cannot be used by accident.

Different ways to use it:

1/ prove --rc .proverc.dist
   Use defaults

2/ cp .proverc.dist .proverc && prove
   Allows to configure db name, marcflavour, and prove options

Bug 19821: Do not modify KOHA_CONF, use new database_test entry instead

I have tried to use the original idea of this patch for bug 19185, but
it cannot work as it. ENV is not shared between processus and KOHA_CONF
will not be read by webserver (used for selenium tests).

Moreover on bug 19185 we are testing the installation process and we do
not want the database to be populated with sample data, we just need a
new and clean DB.

If the database_test entry exists in the config file we are going to use
it. This will be a trick for developers and CI

Still works, solved a simple conflict for ".proverc and .proverc.dist in Makefile.t"

*But* I missed the test plan of comment 75 in my first signoff and I don't know how to make it work.
How it that supposed to be ran?

> 1/ prove --rc .proverc.dist
>   Use defaults

kohadev-koha@kohadevbox:/kohadevbox/koha$ prove --rc .proverc.dist
t/00-checkdatabase-version.t ................ ok   
t/00-deprecated.t ........................... ok   
t/00-load.t ................................. DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Table 'koha_test.systempreferences' doesn't exist [for Statement "SELECT `me`.`variable`, `me`.`value`, `me`.`options`, `me`.`explanation`, `me`.`type` FROM `systempreferences` `me` WHERE ( `me`.`variable` = ? )" with ParamValues: 0='casauthentication'] at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/Database.pm line 124.

And more errors about the DB.

Don't forget to remove the .proverc from the root of the code. It will make prove fail with
Can't load module t::lib::Bootstrap at /usr/bin/prove line 13.
(when not having this patch applied anymore)

Pushed to master for 21.11, thanks to everybody involved!
