Run smoke tests
Validate your KubeCF deployment with smoke tests
Once you have deployed KubeCF, you might want to validate it by running Cloud Foundry’s smoke tests. For that purpose, KubeCF’s helm chart ships the Cloud Foundry smoke tests, packaged inside of a deployment’s instance group.
Triggering the smoke tests
The smoke tests are run by a CF-Operator qjob (a wrapper on Kube jobs). That job is defined to not trigger automatically by default. To start it, patch the job with trigger strategy “now”:
$ kubectl get qjob --namespace scf --output name 2> /dev/null | grep smoke-tests
quarksjob.quarks.cloudfoundry.org/smoke-tests
$ kubectl patch quarksjob.quarks.cloudfoundry.org/smoke-tests \
--namespace kubecf --type merge --patch \
'{ "spec": { "trigger": { "strategy": "now" } } }'
This will start the job, which creates a smoke-tests-<id>
pod. Inside that
pod, there’s a container called smoke-tests-smoke-tests
with the test run.
You can, as usual, see the resulting logs from the smoke-tests pod with:
$ kubectl logs -f smoke-tests-614496c133797980-bm2g4 --namespace scf \
--container smoke-tests-smoke-tests
