Harmony Regression Tests

Harmony regression tests run a series of self contained tests to ensure no regressions occur when portions of harmony are changed.

The regression tests can be run multiple ways. Locally in Docker against SIT, UAT and Prod. This is the preferred method of verifying no regressons have occurred, when the services have been modified.

Alternatively, each test can be run locally in a browser against SIT, UAT, PROD or localhost (Harmony-In-A-Box). This is a good choice for test development and verifying service changes do not cause regression failures. Generally you run locally in the browser against a single service regression test.

Install Prerequisites

Cloning the repostiory.

To work with this repository, ensure git-lfs (Git Large File Storage) is installed on your system, as it's used to manage some large files stored in GitHub. To install git-lfs with Homebrew, enter the following commands:

brew install git-lfs
git lfs install

If you have already cloned this repository, delete it and re-clone.

Running the Tests in GitHub:

Each test suite can be individually invoked via a GitHub workflow. Navigate to the GitHub Actions tab for this repository. Then select the "Run test suite" workflow from the lefthand menu. On the right hand side, click the "Run workflow" dropdown, and select the correct Docker image and Harmony environment. That should manually trigger the workflow.

The regression test GitHub actions can also be invoked through different event types after a Harmony service is successfully deployed in Harmony or after a new version of the Harmony server is deployed. Note: Only the latest tag of the regression docker image will be used to run the Jupyter notebook tests.

Running the Tests Locally

Each test suite is run in a separate Docker container using a temporary Docker image you must build before running.

From the ./test directory make all of the regression images with:

$ make images

make -j images can be used to make the images in parallel (faster), although this may lead to Docker Desktop instabilities

Running in Docker:

$ cd test
$ export HARMONY_HOST_URL=<url of Harmony in the target environment>
$ export EDL_PASSWORD=<your EDL password>
$ export EDL_USER=<your EDL username>
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key for the target environment>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<key secret for the target environment>
$ ./run_notebooks.sh

Outputs can be found in the tests/output/<image> directory.

Notes:

  1. All notebooks require variable EDL_USER and EDL_PASSWORD to be exported for authentication against earthdata login. If you are including the NetCDF-to-Zarr (n2z) tests, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY must be set to values for your current test environment to access the created Zarr store.

  2. It's possible to run a selection of notebooks by providing a list of images to run after the run_notebooks command. e.g. ./run_notebooks.sh hga n2z would run the harmony GDAL adapter and NetCDF-to-Zarr regression tests.

  3. HARMONY_HOST_URL is the harmony base url for your target environment. e.g. SIT would be https://harmony.sit.earthdata.nasa.gov

  4. The run_notebooks.sh script cannot be used to test against Harmony-in-a-Box, i.e. HARMONY_HOST_URL=http://localhost:3000, due to Docker-in-Docker issues. To test against a local Harmony instance, the notebook should be run manually on a Jupyter notebook server (e.g., in a browser).

For more information on running a local Harmony instance, see the Harmony README.

Test in a Browser:

To run the tests:

  1. Create an isolated python environment for the test you wish to run. You can use the environment.yml of the test to create the environment with conda or you can create the environment with another virtual env, just ensure all of the requirement from the environment.yml file are installed. They will create conda environments named papermill-<image>, and you should delete any existing environment before installing from the environment.yml.

  2. Start the jupyter server: jupyter notebook.

  3. Browse and open the jupyter notebook file for the test. (<image>_Regression.ipynb)

  4. Update the harmony_host_url in the notebook.

  5. Run the tests.

Adding a new test suite:

  1. Create a subdirectory within test that contains a notebook, environment, version and supporting files, as described in the next section. For ease, it is simplest to use the same string for the subdirectory name and the suite name.

  2. Update the test/Makefile to be able to build a Docker image for the new test suite optionally including the shared utility directory:

    <new-suite-name>-image
    docker build -t ghcr.io/nasa/regression-tests-<new-suite-name>:latest -f ./Dockerfile --build-arg notebook=<new-test-notebook-name> --build-arg sub_dir=<new-suite-subdirectory> [--build-arg shared_utils=true] .

  3. If you would like to use shared utilities to help ease the coding you can add the shared_util build-arg to your docker build command in the Makefile (as well as adding it as a key in the workflow/build-all-images.yml file). When enabed, this argument will include the tests/shared_utils directory as a sibling directory to your tests. See the tests/shared_utils/README.md file for more information.

  4. Update the make images rule to include building the new image.

    images: <pre existing rules already listed> <new-suite-name>-image

  5. Update test/run_notebooks.sh to include the new test image in all_images:

    all_images=(<pre existing test suites> <new-suite-name>)

  6. Update script/test-in-bamboo.sh to list the new suite name in all_tests.

  7. Update config/services_tests_config_<env>.json to associate the new suite name with a Harmony service and add it to the all list so that it will be run when the associated Harmony service or Harmony server is deployed.

With this in place, the new test suite should be able to be built and run:

EDL_USER=...
EDL_PASSWORD=...
HARMONY_HOST_URL=https://harmony.sit.earthdata.nasa.gov  # Or UAT or production
cd test
make <new-suite-name>-image
./run_notebooks.sh <new-suite-name>

After this, the test suite will need to be integrated with the GitHub workflow to create a new version of the test image any time the related version.txt file is updated. To do so, simply add a new target to the build-all-images.yml workflow in the .github/workflows directory:

-
  image: <new-suite-name>
  notebook: <new-notebook-name>

The above is the basic structure for adding a new image to the CI/CD. Two additional options shared-utils and lfs default to off, but can be over-ridden as they are for the nsidc-icesat2 image. shared-utils controls the addition of the tests/shared_utils directory into your image. lfs enables git LFS for your image and should be enabled only if you have added reference files with git LFS.

    -
      image: "nsidc-icesat2"
      notebook: "NSIDC-ICESAT2_Regression.ipynb"
      shared-utils: "true"
      lfs: "true"

Test suite contents:

This section of the README describes the files that are expected in every test suite subdirectory.

For example, in the swath-projector directory we have

├── reference_files
├── SwathProjector_Regression.ipynb
├── environment.yaml
├── utilities.py
└── version.txt
  • reference_files contains golden template files for expected outputs of tests. When you add new binary files to your test, you should configure them to to use Git LFS as well as keep them as small as possible.
  • SwathProjector_Regression.ipynb is the regression test Jupyter notebook itself, running tests in cells. A test suite fails when a Jupyter notebook cell returns an error from the execution. Each regression test is designed to trigger this failure state for failed tests by asserting whether the output matches expectations.
  • environment.yaml defines the conda environment and packages present in it. The Docker image for each test suite will use the appropriate environment file to define the conda environment the Jupyter notebook is executed within during regression testing.
  • utilities.py is a file containing lower level helper functions. Usually, these helper functions have been removed from the notebook itself in order to simplify the appearance of the notebook and make it easier to understand upon test failures.
  • version.txt contains a semantic version number for the latest version of the regression tests. This will be iterated either as new tests are added, or as the test outputs are updated. Changing this file in a PR, and then merging that PR to the main branch will trigger the publication of a new version of that regression test Docker image.

Notebook dependencies should be listed in file named environment.yaml at the top level of the subdirectory. The name field in the file should be papermill. For example:

name: papermill-<IMAGE>
channels:
 - conda-forge
 - nodefaults
dependencies:
 - python=3.11
 - jupyter
 - requests
 - netcdf4
 - matplotlib
 - papermill
 - pytest
 - ipytest
 - pip:
   - harmony-py

Versioning

The regression test notebooks follow semantic versioning:

major.minor.patch

Every time a regression test suite is updated, the version number in the version.txt file for that suite should be iterated by the appropriate type of version increment. This will likely occur for one of three reasons:

  • Adding, updating or removing tests within the notebook (or associated utility functionality).
  • Adding or updating Python dependencies in the environment.yaml file for the test suite.
  • Updating the overall Docker image for all test suites, in which case all suites should have their version.txt incremented.

The CI/CD pipeline for this repository will release a new Docker image for a test suite to ghcr.io whenever a change in the relevant version.txt file is merged to the main branch.

To use these changes in the overall Harmony CI/CD pipeline in Bamboo, the environment variables for the appropriate regression test deployment environment (SIT, UAT or production) should also be updated.

Note - the manual update step for Bamboo environment variables is brittle, and improvements are being considered to make the choice of regression test image version more automated.

μmamba (micromamba)

To increase runtime efficiency, the build relies on micromamba. Micromamba and mamba are meant to be drop in replacements for miniconda and conda. The fast solving allows us to skip creating a conda-lock file, and the dependency management is entirely defined by the environment.yaml file.

Test notebooks should not rely on other forms of dependency management or expect user input. They should utilize the harmony_host_url global variable to communicate with Harmony or to determine the Harmony environment. This variable is set by papermill - see the Harmony.ipynb for how to make use of this variable. More information can be found in the papermill documentation on setting parameters.

New test suites must be added to the Makefile. A new name-image target (where name is the name of the test suite) should be added (see the harmony-image example), and the new image target should be added as a dependency of the images target. The docker image should have a name like ghcr.io/nasa/regression-tests-<base_name>, where base_name is the name of the test suite.

To build the test images on github, add a new matrix target that includes the image base name and notbook name to the list of targets in the .github/workflows/build-all-images.yml file.

Finally, add the image base name to the all_images array in the run_notebooks.sh file and the all_tests array in scripts/test-in-bamboo.sh script. For instance, if the new image is named ghcr.io/nasa/regression-tests-foo, then we would add foo to both arrays.

The run_notebooks.sh file can be used as described above to run the test suite. Notebooks are expected to exit with a non-zero exit code on failure when run from papermill.

pre-commit hooks:

This repository uses pre-commit to enable pre-commit checking the repository for some coding standard best practices. These include:

  • Removing trailing whitespaces.
  • Removing blank lines at the end of a file.
  • Ensure JSON files have valid formats.
  • ruff Python linting checks.
  • black Python code formatting checks.

To enable these checks:

# Install pre-commit Python package:
pip install pre-commit

# Install the git hook scripts:
pre-commit install

If you have installed the hooks locally, when you commit your changes the hook will validate your changes before actually committing to your repository. If there are failures you will have to opportunity to fix them and add them to your commit.

pre-commit.ci is configured such that these same hooks will be automatically run for every pull request. Because of this, it is highly recommended that you also do this locally, since failures will prevent your PR from being merged.
