Enos

Enos is an quality testing framework that allows composing and executing quality requirement scenarios as code. For Boundary, it is currently used to perform infrastructure integration testing using the artifacts that are created as part of the CRT build pipeline. While intended to be executed via Github Actions using the results of the build workflow, scenarios are executable from a developer machine that has the requisite dependencies and configuration.

Refer to the enos documentation for further information regarding installation, execution, or composing Enos scenarios.

Setup

Terraform >= 1.0
Vault >= 1.12.2
Enos >= v0.0.28
Doormat

brew tap hashicorp/tap
brew install hashicorp/tap/vault
brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform
brew install hashicorp/tap/enos
brew install coreutils

# Install doormat cli
brew tap hashicorp/security git@github.com:hashicorp/homebrew-security.git
brew install hashicorp/security/doormat-cli

AWS access. HashiCorp Boundary developers should use Doormat.
An SSH keypair in the AWS region you wish to run the scenario. You can use doormat to login to the AWS console to create or upload an existing keypair.

# Create a SSH Key Pair
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

# <https://doormat.hashicorp.services/>
# Go to the console for the corresponding AWS account
# Select the desired AWS region on the top-right
# Go to EC2 -> Key Pairs -> Actions -> Import Key Pair -> Import public key file (.pub)
# Note the name of the key pair

Boundary CLI installed locally

Enos Variables

In CI, each scenario is executed via Github Actions and has been configured using environment variable inputs that follow the ENOS_VAR_varname pattern.

For local execution you can specify all the required variables using environment variables, or you can update enos.vars.hcl with values and uncomment the lines.

If you want to use the builder:crt variant to simulate execution in CI you'll also need to specify crt_bundle_path to a local boundary install bundle.

See enos.vars.hcl for complete descriptions of each variable.

You can either modify enos.vars.hcl directly or create your own copy at enos-local.vars.hcl which gets ignored by git.

System File Modifications

For docker-based scenarios, you will need to modify /etc/hosts to include the following lines

127.0.0.1       localhost       boundary
127.0.0.1       localhost       worker
127.0.0.1       localhost       vault

AWS Credentials

Copy the AWS Account credentials from doormat and set it in the terminal, where the enos commands are run.

Executing Scenarios

From the enos directory:

# List all available scenarios. Scenarios can be found in enos/enos-scenario*
enos scenario list

# Launch an individual scenario but leave infrastructure up after execution
enos scenario launch e2e_aws builder:local

# Explicitly destroy all existing infrastructure
enos scenario destroy integration builder:local

Refer to the enos documentation for further information regarding installation, execution or composing scenarios.

To get information about the environment that was created...

# Scenarios that start with `e2e` can get environment information using a script. It can be helpful to set some aliases in your shell profile
alias enosenv="source <(. ${BOUNDARY_REPO}/enos/scripts/test_e2e_env.sh); . ${BOUNDARY_REPO}/enos/scripts/test_e2e_env.sh"
alias enosenvent="source <(. ${BOUNDARY_ENTEPRISE_REPO}/enos/scripts/test_e2e_env.sh); . ${BOUNDARY_ENTEPRISE_REPO}/enos/scripts/test_e2e_env.sh"

# Some scenarios don't start with `e2e` can get environment information using an enos command
enos scenario output hcp_session_recording builder:local

Scenarios

Infrastructure Integration

The integration scenario has multiple variants which enable it to run different test suites against Boundary clusters. You can control which boundary artifacts are installed for the controllers and workers by specifing the builder variant. It support either a local build or the output of the build workflow (CRT). All test scenarios create a Boundary cluster consisting of an RDS database, 1 worker, and 1 controller (behind an ALB). The count and instance type for workers and controllers is configurable. All tests require that a local copy of boundary is available in the local_boundary_dir to access the Boundary cluster API through the ALB. For example, if you install boundary locally via make install you could test that version against the cluster by setting local_boundary_dir to /Users/<user>/.go/bin, or wherever you have configured $GOPATH/bin.

Variants

builder:crt Scenarios that include the builder:crt variant require that the crt_bundle_path variable is set to the directory of an install bundle of Boundary, such as one might find in Artifactory, releases.hashicorp.com, or the output of the build workflow (CRT).
builder:local The builder:local variant will build an install bundle as part of the scenario and copy it to each worker and controller node. This allows you to execute the scenario using an artifact of the current branch.

CI Bootstrap

In order to execute any of the scenarios in this repository, it is first necessary to bootstrap the CI AWS account with the required permissions, service quotas and supporting AWS resources. There are two Terraform modules which are used for this purpose, service-user-iam for the account permissions, and service quotas and bootstrap for the supporting resources.

Bootstrap Process

These steps should be followed to bootstrap this repo for enos scenario execution:

Set up CI service user IAM role and Service Quotas

The service user that is used when executing enos scenarios from any GitHub Action workflow must have a properly configured IAM role granting the access required to create resources in AWS. Additionally, service quotas need to be adjusted to ensure that normal use of the ci account does not cause any service quotas to be exceeded. The service-user-iam module contains the IAM Policy and Role for that grants this access as well as the service quota increase requests to adjust the service quotas. This module should be updated whenever a new AWS resource type is required for a scenario or a service quota limit needs to be increased. Since this is persistent and cannot be created and destroyed each time a scenario is run, the Terraform state will be managed by Terraform Cloud. Here are the steps to configure the GitHub Actions service user:

Pre-requisites

Access to the hashicorp-qti organization in Terraform Cloud.
Full access to the CI AWS account is required.

Notes:

For help with access to Terraform Cloud and the CI Account, contact the QT team on Slack (#team-quality) for an invite. After receiving an invite to Terraform Cloud, a personal access token can be created by clicking User Settings --> Tokens --> Create an API token.
Access to the AWS account can be done via Doormat, at: https://doormat.hashicorp.services/.
- The account name uses the following pattern: <repository>-ci, e.g. boundary-ci for the boundary repo.
- Access can be requested by clicking: Cloud Access --> AWS --> Request Account Access.

Create the Terraform Cloud Workspace - The name of the workspace to be created depends on the repository for which it is being created, but the pattern is: <repository>-ci-service-user-iam, e.g. boundary-ci-service-user-iam. It is important that the execution mode for the workspace be set to local. For help on setting up the workspace, contact the QT team on Slack (#team-quality)
Execute the Terraform module

> cd ./enos/ci/service-user-iam
> export TF_WORKSPACE=<repo name>-ci-enos-service-user-iam
> export TF_TOKEN_app_terraform_io=<Terraform Cloud Token>
> export TF_VAR_repository=<repository name>
> terraform init
> terraform plan
> terraform apply -auto-approve

Bootstrap the CI resources

Bootstrapping of the resources in the CI account is accomplished via the GitHub Actions workflow: enos-bootstrap-ci. Before this workflow can be run a workspace must be created as follows:

Create the Terraform Cloud Workspace - The name workspace to be created depends on the repository for which it is being created, but the pattern is: <repository>-ci-bootstrap, e.g. boundary-ci-bootstrap. It is important that the execution mode for the workspace be set to local. For help on setting up the workspace, contact the QT team on Slack (#team-quality).

Once the workspace has been created, changes to the bootstrap module will automatically be applied via the GitHub PR workflow. Each time a PR is created for changes to files within that module the module will be planned via the workflow described above. If the plan is ok and the PR is merged, the module will automatically be applied via the same workflow.

Trust certificate for HTTPS testing

The scenario e2e_ui_aws has the options for setting up using HTTPS. When you do this, additional steps need to be taken in order to trust the certificate locally and fully enable HTTPS. The certificate is in the enos scenario output as E2E_ALB_CERT.

Trusting on Mac

Save the certificate - Save the output of the certificate in a file e.g. mycert.crt
Trust the certificate - Double click the certificate to open keychain access. Right click the certificate in the list. Click get info. Under Trust select Always Trust under the When using this certificate: option.
Restart your computer - Restart computer to complete the trusting process
Firefox trusting - For firefox you additionally need to trust the cert in the browser. This can be done under Firefox Settings > Privacy & Security > View Certificates > Authorities > Import

Trusting on linux

Save the certificate - Save the output of the certificate in a file e.g. mycert.crt
Trust the certificate - Run the following commands

> sudo cp mycert.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
> sudo update-ca-certificates
