Contributing

This document provides guidelines for contributing to the Google Cloud Project Factory Terraform Module.

Dependencies

The following dependencies must be installed on the development system:

File structure

The project has the following folders and files:

  • /: root folder
  • /examples: examples for using this module
  • /scripts: Scripts for specific tasks on module (see Infrastructure section on this file)
  • /test: Folders with files for testing the module (see Testing section on this file)
  • /helpers: Optional helper scripts for ease of use
  • /main.tf: main file for this module, contains all the resources to create
  • /variables.tf: all the variables for the module
  • /output.tf: the outputs of the module
  • /readme.md: this file

Generating Documentation for Inputs and Outputs

The Inputs and Outputs tables in the READMEs of the root module, submodules, and example modules are automatically generated based on the variables and outputs of the respective modules. These tables must be refreshed if the module interfaces are changed.

Execution

Run make generate_docs to generate new Inputs and Outputs tables.

Integration Testing

Integration tests are used to verify the behaviour of the root module, submodules, and example modules. Additions, changes, and fixes should be accompanied with tests.

The integration tests are run using Kitchen, Kitchen-Terraform, and InSpec. These tools are packaged within a Docker image for convenience.

The general strategy for these tests is to verify the behaviour of the example modules, thus ensuring that the root module, submodules, and example modules are all functionally correct.

Test Environment

The easiest way to test the module is in an isolated test project and folder. The setup for such a project and folder is defined in test/setup directory. This setup will create a dedicated folder, a project within the folder to hold a service account that will be used to run the integration tests. It will assign all needed roles to the service account and will also create a access context manager policy needed for test execution.

To use and execute this setup, you need a service account with the following roles:

  • Project Creator access on the folder (if you want to delete the setup later ProjectDeleter is also needed).
  • Folder Admin on the folder.
  • Access Context Manager Editor or Admin on the organization.
  • Billing Account Administrator on the billing account or on the organization.
  • Organization Administrator on the organization in order to grant the created service account permissions on organization level.

Export the Service Account credentials to your environment like so:

export SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON=$(< credentials.json)

You will also need to set a few environment variables:

export TF_VAR_org_id="your_org_id"
export TF_VAR_folder_id="your_folder_id"
export TF_VAR_billing_account="your_billing_account_id"
export TF_VAR_gsuite_admin_email="your_gsuite_admin_email"
export TF_VAR_gsuite_domain="your_gsuite_domain"

With these settings in place, you can prepare the test setup using Docker:

make docker_test_prepare

Noninteractive Execution

Run make docker_test_integration to test all of the example modules noninteractively, using the prepared test project.

Interactive Execution

  1. Run make docker_run to start the testing Docker container in interactive mode.

  2. Run kitchen_do create <EXAMPLE_NAME> to initialize the working directory for an example module.

  3. Run kitchen_do converge <EXAMPLE_NAME> to apply the example module.

  4. Run kitchen_do verify <EXAMPLE_NAME> to test the example module.

  5. Run kitchen_do destroy <EXAMPLE_NAME> to destroy the example module state.

Linting and Formatting

Many of the files in the repository can be linted or formatted to maintain a standard of quality.

Execution

Run make docker_test_lint.

Releasing New Versions

New versions can be released by pushing tags to this repository's origin on GitHub. There is a Make target to facilitate the process:

make release-new-version

The new version must be documented in CHANGELOG.md for the target to work.

See the Terraform documentation for more info on releasing new versions.


Two test-kitchen instances are defined:

  • full-local - Test coverage for all project-factory features.
  • full-minimal - Test coverage for a minimal set of project-factory features.

Setup

  1. Configure the test fixtures.

  2. Download a Service Account key with the necessary permissions and put it in the module's root directory with the name credentials.json.

  3. Add appropriate variables to your environment

    export BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID="YOUR_BILLUNG_ACCOUNT"
    export DOMAIN="YOUR_DOMAIN"
    export FOLDER_ID="YOUR_FOLDER_ID"
    export GROUP_NAME="YOUR_GROUP_NAME"
    export ADMIN_ACCOUNT_EMAIL="YOUR_ADMIN_ACCOUNT_EMAIL"
    export ORG_ID="YOUR_ORG_ID"
    export PROJECT_ID="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
    CREDENTIALS_FILE="credentials.json"
    export SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON=`cat ${CREDENTIALS_FILE}`
  4. Run the testing container in interactive mode.

    make docker_run

    The module root directory will be loaded into the Docker container at /cft/workdir/.

  5. Run kitchen-terraform to test the infrastructure.

    1. kitchen create creates Terraform state.
    2. kitchen converge creates the underlying resources. You can run kitchen converge minimal to only create the minimal fixture.
    3. kitchen verify tests the created infrastructure. Run kitchen verify minimal to run the smaller test suite.
    4. kitchen destroy removes the created infrastructure. Run kitchen destroy minimal to remove the smaller test suite.

Alternatively, you can simply run make test_integration_docker to run all the test steps non-interactively.

Test configuration

Each test-kitchen instance is configured with a terraform.tfvars file in the test fixture directory. For convenience, these are symlinked to a single shared file:

cp "test/fixtures/shared/terraform.tfvars.example" \
  "test/fixtures/shared/terraform.tfvars"
$EDITOR "test/fixtures/shared/terraform.tfvars"
done

Integration tests can be run within a pre-configured docker container. Tests can be run without user interaction for quick validation, or with user interaction during development.
