qa

A content repository to allow QA testing from a user perspective, using the platform.

Run tests on platform

Set up VM

1. Set up a piscine For example, duplicate the go piscine and put Quest2 "on top" (put the tester user in the piscine)
   Set the language (type STRING) in the Children Attributes as goqa

2. Mirror the qa repo from github in the root gitea
   Create a New Migrationfrom the Github repo https://github.com/01-edu/qa
   Tick the Migration Options: This repository will be a mirror
   Untick the Visibility option

3. Set up a new "dummy exercise" The name of the exercise must match one of the exercises available in the repository https://github.com/01-edu/qa
   Add the following Object Attributes

   • language (type STRING): goqa
   • subject (type STRING): /markdown/root/qa/go/subjects/<name>/README.md
   • expectedFiles (type ARRAY):
     • Add a new index in array with the expected files, most likely <name>/main.go if the exercise is a program or <name>.go if a function

Run tests locally

Example for the piscine-go

1. Create a directory to place the solution to be tested, for example mkdir piscine-go or git clone <your-repo> in the qa directory
2. run the following commands in the following location ./qa/piscine-go/:

go mod init piscine
go mod tidy

2. Update all the required files for the selected exercise(s)
3. Run ./go/test_all.sh or ./go/test_one.sh <exercise_name>

Importan notes

The following repositories aims to provide a close to production testing environment. To ensure this, check that the followings are in line with the respositories used for the current platform:

• For GO exercises: the organization of the tests and solutions directories combined with the lib functions used to run the tests are the same as the one used for the working platform
