Comprehensive test suite for the Provisioning platform's plugin system, covering authentication, KMS, and orchestrator plugins with graceful fallback testing.

Overview

This test suite validates:

Plugin Availability: Detection of installed Nushell plugins
Fallback Behavior: Graceful degradation to HTTP/SOPS when plugins unavailable
Complete Workflows: End-to-end authentication, encryption, and orchestration
Performance: Benchmarking plugin vs HTTP performance
Error Handling: Network failures, invalid data, concurrent access
Cross-Plugin Integration: Multi-plugin workflows

Test Philosophy

Graceful Degradation

All tests pass regardless of plugin availability:

✅ Plugins installed → Use plugins, test performance
✅ Plugins missing → Use HTTP/SOPS fallback, warn user
✅ Services unavailable → Skip service-dependent tests, report status

No Hard Dependencies

Tests never fail due to:

Missing plugins (fallback tested)
Services not running (gracefully reported)
Network issues (error handling tested)

Performance Awareness

Tests measure and report performance:

Plugin mode: <50ms (excellent)
HTTP fallback: <200ms (good)
SOPS fallback: <500ms (acceptable)

Expected Output

Successful Run (All Plugins Available)

Troubleshooting

Tests Fail to Run

Problem: nu: command not found Solution: Install Nushell 0.107.1+

brew install nushell  # macOS
cargo install nu      # Any platform

Plugin Tests Show Warnings

Problem: All plugin tests show "not available" Solution: This is expected behavior if plugins not installed. Tests will use HTTP fallback.

Service Connection Errors

Problem: "Orchestrator not available" warnings Solution: Start orchestrator service:

cd provisioning/platform/orchestrator
cargo run --release

KMS Backend Errors

Problem: "No KMS backends available" Solution: Configure at least one backend in provisioning/config/plugin-config.toml

Development

Adding New Tests

Create test in appropriate file (*_test.nu)
Follow naming convention: test_<feature>_<aspect>
Use std assert for assertions
Handle both plugin and fallback modes
Add to integration test workflow if needed

Example Test Template

export def test_new_feature [] {
    print "  Testing new feature..."

    use plugin_module.nu *

    # Test logic
    let result = (do {
        plugin-function args
    } | complete)

    # Assertions
    if $result.exit_code == 0 {
        print "    ✅ Feature working"
    } else {
        print "    ⚠️  Feature not available"
    }
}
