Yellowbox

Test YellowBox Coverage

Yellowbox makes it easy to run docker containers as part of black box tests.

Examples

Say you want to run a blackbox test on a service that depends on a redis server.

from yellowbox.clients import docker_client
from yellowbox.extras import RedisService


def test_black_box():
  with docker_client() as docker_client, RedisService.run(docker_client) as redis:
    redis_port = redis.client_port()  # this the host port the redis
    ...  # run your black box test here
  # yellowbox will automatically close the service when exiting the scope


def test_black_box_with_initial_data():
  # you can use the service's built-in utility functions to
  # easily interoperate the service
  with docker_client() as docker_client,
          RedisService.run(docker_client) as redis,
          redis.client() as client:
    client.set("foo", "bar")
  ...

Supported Extras

The currently supported built-in services are:

  • Kafka: from yellowbox.extras import KafkaService
    • currently, the kafka service supports only plaintext protocol, and always binds to the host port 9092
  • Logstash: from yellowbox.extras import LogstashService
  • RabbitMQ: from yellowbox.extras import RabbitMQService
  • Redis: from yellowbox.extras import RedisService

Note: all these extras require additional dependencies as specified in the project's extras.

Networks

Yellowbox also makes it easy to set up temporary docker networks, so that different containers and services can communicate directly.

from yellowbox.clients import docker_client
from yellowbox import temp_network, connect
from yellowbox.extras import RabbitMQService


def test_network():
  with docker_client() as docker_client,
          RabbitMQService.run(docker_client) as rabbit,
          temp_network(docker_client) as network,
          connect(network, rabbit) as alias:
    # yellow's "connect" function connects between a network and a
    # Container/YellowService, retrieves the container's alias(es) on 
    # the network, and disconnects the two when done
    another_container = docker_client.containers.create("my-image",
                                                        environment={"RABBITMQ_HOSTNAME": alias[0]}
                                                        )
    with connect(network, another_container):
      another_container.start()
      another_container.wait()

As Pytest Fixtures

Both yellow services and networks can be used fluently with pytest fixures

from yellowbox.clients import docker_client
from pytest import fixture

from yellowbox.extras import RedisService


@fixture
def docker_client():
  with docker_client() as ret:
    yield ret


@fixture
def redis_service(docker_client):
  with RedisService.run(docker_client) as service:
    yield service


def black_box(redis_service):
  # run your test with the redis service provided
  ...

since docker container may take some time to set up, it's advisable to set their scope to at least "module"

Extending Yellow

Users can create their own Yellow Service classes by implementing the YellowService abstract class. If the service encapsulates only a single container, the SingleContainerService class already implements the necessary methods.
