Acceptance test scenarios

Philosophy

We believe a good acceptance test suite has the following properties:

1. The tests are comprehensible to new team members
2. The tests are extendable by non-team members
3. The tests describe the intended functioning of the source under test
4. The test coverage is discoverable
5. Test errors facilitate fixing the error
6. The tests may have unit tests

Structure

We have two sets of acceptance tests using different testing frameworks.

Bake tests

These are written in Go and use Gingko+Gomega.

# change directory into the "bake" acceptance test directory then run:
go run github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo

Workflows

These are written in Go and use godog (a Cucumber test framework).

# from anywhere in the repo you can run:
go test -v --tags acceptance --timeout=1h github.com/pivotal-cf/kiln/internal/acceptance/workflows

Contributing

Please follow existing style and make sure the acceptance unit tests both in the workflows and in the scenario package pass.
