Unit Tests

We use default golang unit tests with "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert" to simplify testing.

Integration Tests

Dummy backend

There is a special backend called dummy which does not execute any commands, but emulates how a typical backend should behave. To enable it you need to build the agent or cli with the test build tag.

An example pipeline config would be:

when:
  event: manual

steps:
  - name: echo
    image: dummy
    commands: echo "hello woodpecker"
    environment:
      SLEEP: '1s'

services:
  echo:
    image: dummy
    commands: echo "i am a sevice"

This could be executed via woodpecker-cli --log-level trace exec --backend-engine dummy example.yaml:

There are also environment variables to alter step behaviour:

  • SLEEP: 10 will let the step wait 10 seconds
  • EXPECT_TYPE allows to check if a step is a clone, service, plugin or commands
  • STEP_START_FAIL: true if set will simulate a step to fail before actually being started (e.g. happens when the container image can not be pulled)
  • STEP_TAIL_FAIL: true if set will error when we simulate to read from stdout for logs
  • STEP_EXIT_CODE: 2 if set will be used as exit code, default is 0
  • STEP_OOM_KILLED: true simulates a step being killed by memory constrains

You can let the setup of a whole workflow fail by setting it's UUID to WorkflowSetupShouldFail.
