VC-35630: Add unit tests to the code that loads config/flags #563

maelvls · 2024-08-23T21:03:19Z

Stacked on top of #564.

I found that almost none of the "config/flags" code is tested, which made me wary of changing the code without adding more tests. And since I'll have to change this code again for VC-35630, I'd prefer writing some unit tests first.

This PR aims to change no actual logic. The changes you see are the refactoring I had to do to be able to unit test how configuration is loaded.

~~I've just realized that this PR will be very hard to review due to the lots of files I moved and then changed. I'm not sure how to make the review simpler 😕~~

I've moved config.go and config_test.go back to the agent package. It's now much simpler to review!

pkg/agent/config_test.go

At first, I had moved config.go and config_test.go to a separate folder to make things a bit cleaner, but it made reviewing super hard, so I ended up keeping them in the `agent` package.

cmd/agent.go

-		false,
-		"Enables Prometheus metrics server on the agent (port: 8081).",
-	)
+	agent.InitAgentCmdFlags(agentCmd, &agent.Flags)


Self-review: I've moved the definition of the flags for the agent command to the config package so that the struct and the flags they relate to are defined in the same file. I find it easier to keep things consistent this way.

Self-review: these were defined as package-level variables, so I moved them to be a structs so that I can test getConfiguration.

Self-review: This variable is public so that the cmd/agent.go file can import the global var Flags to register the command line flags. These variables were defined as package-level variables and I moved them to be a struct so that I can test getConfiguration.

pkg/agent/config.go

+// getConfiguration combines the input configuration with the flags passed to
+// the agent and returns the final configuration as well as the Venafi client to
+// be used to upload data.
+func getConfiguration(log *log.Logger, cfg Config, flags AgentCmdFlags) (Config, client.Client, error) {


Self-review: I moved getConfiguration over from run.go as-is without any modification. This is because I think this belongs to config.go, not run.go. But let me know if it makes things too difficult to review.

+			Config{Server: "http://localhost:8080", Period: 1 * time.Hour},


Self-review: This URL isn't actually used, I guess I should have picked a clearer URL like https://fake.

I've renamed it to http://api.venafi.eu.

The URL http://localhost:8080 suggested that this test was using a fake server, and didn't indicate clearly which API (the old jetstack-secure API or the newer Venafi Cloud Plaform API).

Self-review: I'd be in favor of removing this dependency. Even if it's just a testing dep, it isn't needed: we can use testify's Equal which already gives us a good diff.

I've removed this dependency in 21e5229.

Testify, which we already import and that I trust, has the same functionality. github.com/d4l3k/messagediff is a relatively small Go project (250 stars) that hasn't been updated since Nov 11, 2020.

go run . agent --help gives me the same result as before this change.

LGTM

Something I forgot to mention: this PR is stacked on top of #564, meaning that:

Before merging this one, I need to make sure that the other PR that I'm stacking this on (the "base" PR) is merged.
Once the base PR is merged, I can change the base of this one to master and click "Merge".
