Test Environment Service - Implementation Summary

Date: 2025-10-06 Status: Complete and Production Ready


🎯 What Was Built

A complete containerized test environment service integrated into the orchestrator, enabling automated testing of:

  • Single taskservs
  • Complete servers with multiple taskservs
  • Multi-node cluster topologies (Kubernetes, etcd, etc.)

Key Innovation

No manual Docker management - The orchestrator automatically handles:

  • Container lifecycle
  • Network isolation
  • Resource limits
  • Multi-node topologies
  • Test execution
  • Cleanup

📦 Implementation Details

Rust Components (Orchestrator)

1. test_environment.rs - Core Types

  • Test environment types: Single/Server/Cluster
  • Resource limits configuration
  • Network configuration
  • Container instances
  • Test results tracking

2. container_manager.rs - Docker Integration

  • Docker API client (bollard)
  • Container lifecycle management
  • Network creation/isolation
  • Image pulling
  • Command execution
  • Log collection

3. test_orchestrator.rs - Orchestration

  • Environment provisioning logic
  • Single taskserv setup
  • Server simulation
  • Cluster topology deployment
  • Test execution framework
  • Cleanup automation

4. API Endpoints (main.rs)

POST   /test/environments/create
GET    /test/environments
GET    /test/environments/{id}
POST   /test/environments/{id}/run
DELETE /test/environments/{id}
GET    /test/environments/{id}/logs

Nushell Integration

1. test_environments.nu - Core Commands

  • test env create - Create from config
  • test env single - Single taskserv test
  • test env server - Server simulation
  • test env cluster - Cluster topology
  • test env list/get/status - Management
  • test env run - Execute tests
  • test env logs - View logs
  • test env cleanup - Cleanup
  • test quick - One-command test

2. test/mod.nu - CLI Dispatcher

  • Command routing
  • Help system
  • Integration with main CLI

3. CLI Integration

  • Added to main dispatcher
  • Registry shortcuts: test, tst
  • Full help documentation

Configuration & Templates

1. test-topologies.toml - Predefined Topologies

Templates included:

  • kubernetes_3node - K8s HA cluster (1 CP + 2 workers)
  • kubernetes_single - All-in-one K8s
  • etcd_cluster - 3-member etcd cluster
  • containerd_test - Standalone containerd
  • postgres_redis - Database stack

2. Cargo.toml - Dependencies

  • Added bollard = "0.17" for Docker API

🚀 Usage Examples

1. Quick Test (Fastest)

provisioning test quick kubernetes

2. Single Taskserv

provisioning test env single postgres --auto-start --auto-cleanup

3. Server Simulation

provisioning test env server web-01 [containerd kubernetes cilium] --auto-start

4. Cluster from Template

provisioning test topology load kubernetes_3node | test env cluster kubernetes --auto-start

5. Custom Resources

provisioning test env single redis --cpu 4000 --memory 8192

6. List & Manage

# List environments
provisioning test env list

# Check status
provisioning test env status <env-id>

# View logs
provisioning test env logs <env-id>

# Cleanup
provisioning test env cleanup <env-id>
