PewPew as a Service (PPaaS) Controller Machine that runs PewPew Tests using Node.js + Typescript

Purpose

This allows us to run load tests using pewpew in AWS without having to manually create an ec2 instance. By putting the test files in s3 and putting a message on an SQS queue, an EC2 instance will be spun up to run the test, then shutdown when complete.

Shared code

Shared code for the agent and the controller are found in ppaas-common

Environment Config

For your full deployment you should have environment variables injected into CloudFormation to set up the S3 bucket and SQS queues. For local development, copy the .sample-env file to .env.local. Then modify the .env.local file to point to your S3 bucket and your SQS queues. You can also override the default AWS profile for your local testing via the AWS_PROFILE variable if you are not using default.

Build

$ npm i && npm run build

Mac and Windows Testing

The unit tests, integration, and acceptance tests are designed to run on Linux. As such, the pewpew executable files required for running on Linux are checked into the tree in the test server so that the files are available for our Github Actions (test/pewpew.zip).

To override these tests for mac or windows, the pewpew exectuable must be named pewpew.exe for Windows and pewpew.mac for Mac. These files should then be zipped up as pewpew.exe.zip or pewpew.mac.zip correspondingly. Then either override the PEWPEW_ZIP_FILEPATH environment variable to point to the full path to your zip file, or drop the zipped file in the test/ folder.

Test

# You must set your aws credentials to start or run tests
# This will automatically get called when you try to commit
$ npm test

Acceptance Tests

# You must set your aws credentials and have run the Run the local server and load the healthcheck `curl http://localhost:3000/api/healthcheck`
$ npm run acceptance
# OR `curl http://localhost:8081/api/healthcheck`
$ PORT=8081 npm run acceptance

Setting your secrets-manager overrides for Integration Tests or Running the local server

You also need to configure your Secrets Overrides. You have two options, get the real key from someone who has it, or generate your own key for testing/development but any files stored encrypted in s3 will only be accessible by you. For the OpenId secret, you will need the real one.

Generate your own encryption key for testing

1. If you haven't created a .env.local run cp -i .sample.env .env.local
2. Uncomment the PEWPEW_ENCRYPT_KEY_OVERRIDE from .env.local
3. Run openssl rand -hex 16 and copy the value into the quotes for PEWPEW_ENCRYPT_KEY_OVERRIDE. Should be something like a5158c830ac558b21baddb79803105fb.

Add your own OpenId Secret

1. If you haven't created a .env.local run cp -i .sample.env .env.local
2. Uncomment the PEWPEW_OPENID_SECRET_OVERRIDE from .env.local
3. Enter the value for your secret into the quotes for PEWPEW_OPENID_SECRET_OVERRIDE.

Integration Tests

# You must set your aws credentials, configure your Secrets overrides, and create a password.txt file as described above
$ npm run integration

Alternatively you can generate your own key which will work with encrypt/decrypt

Run the local server

To start the server, run one of the following commands:

# You must set your aws credentials and configure your Secrets overrides as described above

# debug mode where it watches your changes. http://localhost:3000
$ npm run dev

# production start, must be built first with npm run build http://localhost:8081
$ npm start

Use http://localhost:8081/healthcheck/ after running the above command.

Run the local server with authentication

Running locally, only dev/integ/okta-np will let you redict back to localhost.

To start the server, run one of the following commands:

# You must set your aws credentials to start or run tests
# set AUTH_MODE to any truthy value except the string "false". Example `AUTH_MODE=true`

# OpenId login. http://localhost:8081
$ AUTH_MODE=true npm run dev

# production start, must be built first with npm run build http://localhost:8081
$ AUTH_MODE=true npm start

OR

$ AUTH_MODE=openid npm start

Use http://localhost:8081/api/healthcheck/ after running the above command.

Testing the redirect for logging in

# Run these in separate console after running npm run build
$ ./startauth.sh

npm run commands

# start server http://localhost:8081
$ npm start

# build the TypeScript code (output dir: dist/)
$ npm run build

# build the Server/Client TypeScript code only (output dir: dist/)
$ npm run build:react

# build the Test/CLR TypeScript code only (output dir: dist/)
$ npm run build:test

 # storybook mode where it watches your changes.
 $ npm run storybook

# test
$ npm test

# Run the acceptance tests
$ npm run acceptance
# OR
$ PORT=8081 npm run acceptance

# Run the integration tests
$ npm run integration

# Run the unittests and integration tests with code coverage
$ npm run coverage

# Clean-up the acceptance tests after they're run locally
# You must set your aws credentials
$ npm run testcleanup

# Clean-up the node_modules because there's a conflict between typescript and @types/react-native
$ npm run fix:install

# style check TypeScript
$ npm run lint

# delete the dist dir and node_modules dir
$ npm run clean

Testing the routing for a public route as a sub-path

See ServerFalt for basis. In general, after this you'll be able to go to http://localhost/pewpew/load-test/ and load the site as if you were on another domain as a sub-path. You can use the new ./startrouting.sh to test out routing. In additional ./startauthrouting.sh is a combination of startauth.sh and startrouting.sh. ./devrouting.sh starts up a dev instance with routing turned on at http://localhost/pewpew/load-test-dev/

# Install nginx
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nginx
$ sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

At the very top of the file (before the server {} section) add these lines:

upstream nodejs {
        server 127.0.0.1:8081;
        keepalive 256;
}

upstream nodejs2 {
        server 127.0.0.1:8082;
        keepalive 256;
}

upstream nodejs-dev {
        server 127.0.0.1:3000;
        keepalive 256;
}

Find the section with location / {} and add these sections below it

location /pewpew/load-test/ {
  proxy_pass      http://nodejs/;
  proxy_set_header   Connection "";
  proxy_http_version 1.1;
  proxy_set_header        Host            $host:$server_port;
  proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
