Automated package testing script for Foreman

This script uses the Foreman API to spin up a VM in a specified host group, waits until the VM is built, then SSH's in to the new VM (on the IP supplied by Foreman) and clones/runs the foreman-installer, with any configured extra pull requests. Thus we can do basic smoke testing on submitted PRs and new packages.

Pre-requisites

  • Libvirt on your primary Foreman server
  • DHCP proxy to suggest IPs
  • A dedicated Hostgroup with a clean installation template. I use
    • Standard Debian PXE
    • Standard Debian Install
    • Custom finish which just installs git and curl

Important: Don't sign the client cert (puppet agent --tags no_such_tag ...) - signing the cert will break the installer's puppetmaster module

Usage

Create options.yaml in the same dir as the checkout and populate with appropriate data. As a minimum, you probably want your credentials and foreman url:

---
options:
  :user: myadmin
  :pass: mypass
  :url: 'https://myforeman'

Add any further options required to override the defaults at the top of package_test.rb

You also need to specify some answers (or not, if you just want the defaults :p). That goes in a block labelled answers:

:answers:
  puppet: true
  puppetmaster: true
  foreman: true
  foreman_proxy: true

You can optionally specify a port (defaults to 443):

:port: 80

You can also specify some pull requests to merge in and test. Start with the module, and the the full git command to merge the PR. For example, here's a pair of PRs that need to be tested together:

:puppet:
- "git pull https://github.com/oxilion/puppet-puppet.git storeconfigs"
:foreman:
- "git pull https://github.com/oxilion/puppet-foreman.git storeconfigs"

You can get the correct command direct from the PR notification email that Github sends out. These are executed as shell commands on the new vm, so you can do anything you need to, such as checking out specific versions of a module, etc.

A complete file looks like this:

---
options:
  :user: admin
  :pass: f4nGl3d
  :url: 'https://topaz'
:answers:
  puppet: true
  puppetmaster: true
  foreman: true
  foreman_proxy: true
:puppet:
- "git pull https://github.com/oxilion/puppet-puppet.git storeconfigs"
:foreman:
- "git pull https://github.com/oxilion/puppet-foreman.git storeconfigs"

Finally, run package_test.rb which will create the vm and execute the required commands. The script will skip host creation if it already exists - optionally you can pass -d to delete and recreate the host
