zwe-test

Simple testing framework for zwe command

Requirements

• z/OS 2.5+
• Unix system services
• Existing zowe.runtimeDirectory
  • Convenience build

Start

Clone this repository to uss.

Initialization

Run initTemplate.sh with path to zowe.runtimeDirectory as a parameter:

$ ./initTemplate.sh /u/charles/zowe/

Verify zwe-test

Run run_test.sh, there is one predefined test: help for zwe command. If you can see the help, it was set correctly.

Adding new tests

Test cases

testCases.js is used for defining the tests.

export const ALL = {
    // This is the default test
    zweHelp: {
        expected: 100,
        parms: '--help'
    },
    zweInstallExample: {
        desc: 'zwe install',
        environment: [
            [ 'NODE_HOME', '' , env.KEEP ]
        ],
        expected: {
            rc: 0,
            substr: [
                'Install Zowe MVS data sets',
                'Zowe MVS data sets are installed successfully.'
                ]
        },
        parms: `install -c ${misc.makeYaml('install', yaml.INSTALL)}`,
        after: {
            listDS: 'ZOWE.TEST.*'
        }
    }
};

Supported

• desc - description of a test
• before and after actions
  • listDS, listMB, deleteDS, allocJCL, allocLoad and shellCmd
• environment variables, keep, restore or unset at the end of the current test
• expected - if omitted, it is expected rc=0
  • rc - return code
  • substr - substring to be found
  • substrx - substring NOT to be found
  • out - entire output to match
• parms of the zwe command, parms: "install --ds-prefix ZOWE --trace"

YAML

yamlFiles.js is used for creating YAML files, it is possible to save it as unix file or member. YAML is created from text, it is up to you to follow YAML syntax (no schema validation).

Corresponding definition for previous test example:

export const INSTALL = [
    "zowe:",
    "  setup:",
    "    dataset:",
    "      prefix: ZOWE.TEST"
]
