When documenting how adding a backend works, the information was a bit
out of date. Updated to link to files from the latest commit to `main`,
at the time of writing.
Also runs the README through the `prettier` autoformatter.
PR-URL: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/pull/5301
GitOrigin-RevId: df54f95d85156e9f95a4a7788eed93c6359cc81c
At the moment we can...
...run tests in isolation, generating coverage report:
$ dev.sh test
You can pass args to pytest as well. e.g. to run a specific test:
$ dev.sh test -k "test_jsonb_has_all"
Launch a postgres container with useful dev defaults, with PostGIS,
cleaning up afterwards:
$ dev.sh postgres
Build and launch graphql-engine in dev mode, connecting with a
`postgres` launched above
$ dev.sh graphql-engine
Examples
1) `
pytest --hge-urls "http://127.0.0.1:8080" --pg-urls "postgresql://admin@127.0.0.1:5432/hge_tests" -vv
`
2) `pytest --hge-urls "http://127.0.0.1:8080" "http://127.0.0.1:8081" --pg-urls "postgresql://admin@127.0.0.1:5432/hge_tests" "postgresql://admin@127.0.0.1:5432/hge_tests2" -vv

### Solution and Design
<!-- How is this issue solved/fixed? What is the design? -->
<!-- It's better if we elaborate -->
#### Reducing execution time of tests
- The Schema setup and teardown, which were earlier done per test method, usually takes around 1 sec.
- For mutations, the model has now been changed to only do schema setup and teardown once per test class.
- A data setup and teardown will be done once per test instead (usually takes ~10ms).
- For the test class to get this behaviour, one can can extend the class `DefaultTestMutations`.
- The function `dir()` should be define which returns the location of the configuration folder.
- Inside the configuration folder, there should be
- Files `<conf_dir>/schema_setup.yaml` and `<conf_dir>/schema_teardown.yaml`, which has the metadata query executed during schema setup and teardown respectively
- Files named `<conf_dir>/values_setup.yaml` and `<conf_dir>/values_teardown.yaml`. These files are executed to setup and remove data from the tables respectively.
#### Running Graphql queries on both http and websockets
- Each GraphQL query/mutation is run on the both HTTP and websocket protocols
- Pytests test parameterisation is used to achieve this
- The errors over websockets are slightly different from that on HTTP
- The code takes care of converting the errors in HTTP to errors in websockets
#### Parallel executation of tests.
- The plugin pytest-xdist helps in running tests on parallel workers.
- We are using this plugin to group tests by file and run on different workers.
- Parallel test worker processes operate on separate postgres databases(and separate graphql-engines connected to these databases). Thus tests on one worker will not affect the tests on the other worker.
- With two workers, this decreases execution times by half, as the tests on event triggers usually takes a long time, but does not consume much CPU.
