Lucas Bajolet	a62dab8ae7	test: error on plugin loading if not compiled ... When building the temporary plugin directory for a test, we didn't check that the LoadPluginVersion call succeeded and returned a path, which may cause errors down the line when attempting to install the plugin. To avoid this problem, we do the check at that time, and immediately fail if a plugin isn't found.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	aa455014f5	test: compile plugins on call to MakePluginDir ... MakePluginDir used to only load plugins that were precompiled at the start of the tests, but now when invoked with any list of plugins, this will attempt to compile plugins one-by-one, so we don't need to modify the tests in several places when running tests. There's still value in compiling the plugins in advance though: as they run in parallel, they all get compiled at once, so we shave off a few seconds from the test run.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	848188d705	test: only build plugins if not already done ... Calling BuildSimplePlugin for a particular version used to mean that we had to build it regardless of if it was previously done or not. This commit changes this behaviour so that it checks first that the plugin wasn't pre-compiled, and if it was, we immediately return.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	430f2d15cd	test: make PanicCheck an implicit Assert gadget ... When running "Assert" on a packer command, we run a series of checkers on the command's output/error code, which provoke test failures if they fail. Panic checking used to be part of Run, but in the end this would make more sense to have that as a regular checker if asserting the results of a packer command, so that's the approach we adopt with this commit.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	03bb62cd99	test: simplify plugin build function ... The NewPluginBuildConfig function was essentially a shortcut to `version.Must(version.NewSemver(v))', which is superfluous at this point, we can directly pass the version string to BuildSimplePlugin and let that function do the creation/check.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	fbb8cac698	test: remove unnecessary testing.T arg ... Since the MakePluginDir function takes the TestSuite as receiver, we don't need to additionally pass in a reference to testing.T, since the test suite already contains one instance, and offers a function to get it from.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	d1b431ae27	test: remove PluginVersionConfig struct ... The PluginVersionConfig structure was first introduced when building the early versions of the test package, but it was an unnecessary abstraction over go-version.Version. So we remove that structure definition, and instead we directly use the version for building those temporary plugins.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	6ab7f670ad	test: add CopyFile convenience function to pkg ... The CopyFile function is essentially a go recreation of the `cp' command, which copies one file from a source path to a destination directory or file. This can be used for several tests in the future.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	0e2695d3e2	test: return cleanup function for temp plugin dirs ... When creating a temporary plugin directory, we had to build a cleanup function, which could be as simple as `os.Mkdirall` without any kind of warning that a directory failed to be cleaned-up, or we could do some more work in order to report the possible issues around this. That code would quickly be redundant, as there's not a ton of variability in the code that can be written for this step, so we abstract it through a pre-defined cancellation function which can be safely defer invoked.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	ef50474a9f	test: add base suite for core acceptance testing ... Acceptance testing, i.e. running Packer core commands in a controlled environment and ensuring the behaviour is consistent to what we expect/document, is not something we have a robust and usable framework for at the moment. This commit is a proposal for a base testing framework of the sort, that is meant to be shipped with packer core, and which will eventually host most of the tests we currently do in command where we mock an environment.	2 years ago
