This is a set of tests that compare the data in two Socorro environments. Comparing data is a little hard since data ebbs and flows according to the whims of the cosmos and it's unlikely that data in two environments is identical. Still, these tests compare them and try to give an approximation of whether they compare favorably or not.

Also, if you're not Miles, Brian, Will, Mike, or Lonnen, you probably don't want to use this.

You need Docker and a bash shell to run this.

Usage:

$ ./pytest_run.sh --env1=ENV --env2=ENV [ARGS]

That'll build the socorro_compare_1 Docker image if it doesn't exist.

Then it'll create an empty vars.json file if you don't already have one. You'll need to open that file in your favorite text editor, remove the comment, and add environment data.

After that, run it again and it'll execute in the container with the arguments you passed.

To see pytest help after the container is built and there's a vars.json, pass in --help:

$ ./pytest_run.sh --help

This requires that you specify data for the environments you're comparing. You do that in a vars.json in the root directory.

Example vars.json:

{
    "stage": {
        "host": "https://crash-stats-stage.example.com",
        "api_token": "xxxxx"
    },
    "newstage": {
        "host": "https://crash-stats-newstage.example.com",
        "api_token": "xxxxx"
    }
}

NOTE: If you don't have API tokens for the environment, you can omit them or make the values empty strings. Tests that require API tokens will degrade or skip.

Then we'd run pytest_run.sh like this:

$ pytest_run.sh --env1=stage --env2=newstage

NOTE: You can include as many environments as you like. You use the --env1 and --env2 command line variables to specify which two you're comparing.

NOTE: It has to be valid JSON. If it's not, then running pytest_run.sh will fail.

If Will or someone made changes to requirements or something, you'll need to rebuild the image. To do that, do this:

$ make clean

That'll wipe out the Docker image. Next time you run pytest_run.sh, it'll build a new one.
