Integration Tests

The purpose of integration testing in apparmor.d is to ensure the profiles are not going to break programs found in Linux distributions and Desktop Environment that we support.

Although the integration test suite is intended to be run in a Development VM, it is also deployed the GitHub Action pipeline.

Workflow

  1. Create a testing VM
  2. Run the integration tests against the testing VM
  3. Ensure no new logs have been raised

Getting started

Prepare the test environment: 

just img <dist> <flavor>
just create <dist> <flavor>

Example: 

just img ubuntu25 desktop
just create ubuntu25 desktop

Install dependencies for the integration tests 

just tests-init <dist> <flavor>

Example: 

just tests-init ubuntu25 desktop

Run the integration tests

It: synchronizes the tests, unmount the shared directory, then run the tests. 

just tests-run <dist> <flavor>

Example: 

just tests-run ubuntu25 desktop

Partial tests can also be run. For example the following command will only run the tests in the tests/integration/apt directory on the ubuntu25 desktop machine: 

just tests-run ubuntu25 desktop apt

Create integration tests

All integration tests are written in Bats and are located in the tests/integration directory. The initial tests have been generated using tldr page with the following command:

go run ./tests/cmd --bootstrap
