Integration Tests

!!! danger "Work in Progress"

The purpose of integration testing in apparmor.d is to ensure the profiles are not going to break a program when used in the Linux distribution and desktop environment we support.

Workflow

1. Build some tests VM
2. Start the VM, do some dev
3. Run the integration test against a given test VM
4. Ensure no new logs have been raised

Test Virtual Machines

The test VMs are built using cloud-init (when available), packer, and vagrant on Qemu/KVM using Libvirt. No other hypervisor will be targeted for these tests. The files that generate these images can be found in the tests/packer directory.

Requirements

• docker
• packer
• vagrant
• vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt

!!! note

You may need to edit some settings to fit your setup:

- The libvirt configuration in `tests/Vagrantfile` 
- The default ssh key and ISO directory in `tests/packer/variables.pkr.hcl`

Build

Build an image

To build a VM image for development purpose, run the following from the tests directory:

Distribution	Flavor	Build command	VM name
Archlinux	Gnome	make archlinux flavor=gnome	arch-gnome
Archlinux	KDE	make archlinux flavor=kde	arch-kde
Debian	Server	make debian flavor=server	debian-server
OpenSUSE	KDE	make opensuse falvor=kde	opensuse-kde
Ubuntu	Server	make ubuntu flavor=server	ubuntu-server
Ubuntu	Desktop	make ubuntu falvor=desktop	ubuntu-desktop

VM management

The development workflow is done through vagrant:

• Star a VM: vagran up <name>
• Shutdown a VM: vagrant halt <name>
• Reboot a VM: vagrant reload <name>

The available VM name are defined in the tests/boxes.yml file

Develop

Credentials

The admin user is: user, its password is: user. It has passwordless sudo access. Automatic login is not enabled on DE. The root user is not locked.

Directories

All the images come pre-configured with the lastest version of apparmor.d installed and running in the VM. The apparmor.d is mounted as /home/user/Projects/apparmor.d

Usage

On all images, aa-update can be used to rebuild and install latest version of the profiles. p, pf, and pu are two preconfigured aliases of ps that show the security status of processes. htop is also configured to show this status.

Tests

!!! warning

The test suite is expected to be run in a [VM](#test-virtual-machines)

Getting started

Prepare the test environment:

cd tests
make <dist> falvor=<flavor>
AA_INTEGRATION=true vagrant up <name>

Run the integration tests on the test VM:

make integration box=<dist> IP=<ip>

Create integration tests

Test suite usage

Initialise the tests with:

./aa-test --bootstrap

List the tests scenario to be run

./aa-test --list

Start the tests and collect the results

./aa-test --run

Tests manifest

A basic set of test is generated on initialisation. More tests can be manually written in yaml file. They must have the following structure:

- name: acpi
  profiled: true
  root: false
  require: []
  arguments: {}
  tests:
    - dsc: Show battery information
      cmd: acpi
      stdin: []
    - dsc: Show thermal information
      cmd: acpi -t
      stdin: []
    - dsc: Show cooling device information
      cmd: acpi -c
      stdin: []
    - dsc: Show thermal information in Fahrenheit
      cmd: acpi -tf
      stdin: []
    - dsc: Show all information
      cmd: acpi -V
      stdin: []
    - dsc: Extract information from `/proc` instead of `/sys`
      cmd: acpi -p
      stdin: []
