Unit Testing

Policies can be easily tested to guarantee they're working as expected. Test modules must have the _test suffix (i.e. repository_test.rego) and the test rules must be prefixed with test_.

Example#

Policy Module#

./innersource.rego

package github.repository

note_empty_description {
	input.description == ""
}

Test Module#

./innersource_test.rego

package github.repository

test_empty_description_should_fail {
	note_empty_description with input.description as ""
}

test_with_description_should_pass {
	not note_empty_description with input.description as "some description"
}

Executing#

Tests are executed using the test command:

$ rsr test
0:00AM INF data.repository.test_empty_description_should_fail: PASS (915µs)
0:00AM INF data.repository.test_with_description_should_pass: PASS (54.125µs)
0:00AM INF done failed=0 passed=2 timeEllapsed=1.9335 total=2
