pgAdmin 4 Test Framework
========================

This regression framework is designed for executing the individual unit tests
available for the existing modules and to help catch regressions. In addition
to that this should be helpful for other new plugged-in module that can come
in later in time.

Assumptions
-----------

- pgAdmin must be configured to run in Server mode, with SMTP configured.
- There should be a single server group present in the browser.
- Currently each module will have testcases related to ONLY GET, POST, PUT,
  and DELETE api’s.

General Information
-------------------

1) The required test cases should be placed under the /tests directory of the
   respective module.

  - 'pgadmin/browser/tests' directory contains test-cases for following
    modules:

	1. Login Page
	2. Reset Password Page
	3. Change Password Page
	4. Logout Page

  - 'pgAdmin4/web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/tests/' shows an example of
     tree traversal of the pgAdmin modules and how the test folder is required
     for each individual module.
	
  - 'pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/tests/' directory will have separate
     file for each test-case:

    1. test_server_add.py
    2. test_server_delete.py
    3. test_server_get.py
    4. test_server_update.py

2) The pgAdmin4 source tree includes a file template for the server configuration
   named ‘test_config.json.in' in the ‘pgAdmin4/web/regression’ directory. After
   completing the pgAdmin4 configuration, you must make a working copy of the
   template called test_config.json before modifying the file contents.

	2a) The following command copies the test_config.json.in file, creating a
	    configuration file named test_config.json

            # cp pgadmin4/web/regression/test_config.json.in \
              pgadmin4/web/regression/test_config.json

	2b) After creating the server configuration file, add (or modify)
	    parameter values as per requirements. The configuration
	    files are owned by root/user. The pgAdmin4 regression framework expects
	    to find the files in the  directory '/<installation dir>/web/regression/'.
	    If you move the file to another location, you must create a symbolic link
	    that specifies the new location.

	2c) Specifying Server Configuration file:

	    The user can use the parameters in the configuration file to specify the
	    server details and connection properties as per their local setup. The
	    test_config file is in json format and property values are case-sensitive.

Test Data Details
-----------------

	"pgAdmin4 Login Credentials":

	 test_login_username = login id
	 test_login_password = login password
	 test_new_password = new login password

	 "test_server_credentials":

     test_name = Server/database Name
     test_db_username = Database Username
     test_host = IP Address of Server
     test_db_password = Database Password
     test_db_port = Database Port
     test_maintenance_db = Maintenance Database
     test_sslmode = SSL Mode
     test_comment = Any Comments to add


Execution:
-----------
- The test framework is modular and pluggable and dynamically locates tests
  for modules which are discovered at runtime. All test cases are found
  and registered automatically by its module name in
  'pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/utils/test.py' file.

- Execute test framework run 'regression/testsuite.py' file.
