Mojaloop Testing Toolkit Client Library and Tools

This package is intended to provide various clients and tools to connect with Mojaloop Testing Toolkit instead of using web interface.

For additional back ground information on the Mojaloop Testing Toolkit, please see Mojaloop Testing Toolkit Documentation. It would be to the particpant's benefit to familiarise themselves with the understanding of the Architecture Diagram that explains the various components and related flows.

Testing Toolkit Command Line Client

The Mojaloop Testing Toolkit CLI is a command line client for connecting to "Mojaloop Testing Toolkit" to perform various operations (Mainly to execute test cases). It can be used in automation systems like CICD and IaC.

1. Getting Started

1.1 Installation

The easiest way to use Testing Toolkit Command Line Client is to install it globally as a Node command line program. Run the following command in Terminal:

npm install @mojaloop/ml-testing-toolkit-client-lib --global

Or, you can install @mojaloop/ml-testing-toolkit-client-lib locally, for use in a single project:

npm install @mojaloop/ml-testing-toolkit-client-lib --save-dev

Note: To run the preceding commands, Node.js and npm must be installed.

1.2 Usage

After you've installed @mojaloop/ml-testing-toolkit-client-lib, you should be able to use the following command.

          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

You could Send Transfer from postman or execute outbound mode with an example from examples/test-cases folder

2.3 Outbound Mode

This sections will enable you to intiate requests from the cli to your DFSP implementation.

The user can create a collection of operations and add a number of assertions to these operations. The assertions can be setup and customized to support your testing requirements and verify both positive and negative requests and responses.

Default values

mode:

  • outbound reportFormat:
  • json reportName:
  • when reportFormat is json: ${test-name}-${date-now}.json
  • when reportFormat is html/printhtml format: value is generated by the service responsible for converting the json to the given format

Exit codes

The CLI tool is able to return the proper exit codes in case of success and failures. This will enable this tool to use in automation systems (CICD).

  • 0: all assertions passed
  • 1: there is at least 1 failed assertion

Example

command:

ml-ttk-cli -m outbound -i examples/collections/dfsp/p2p_happy_path.json -e examples/environments/dfsp_local_environment.json --report-format html

output:

Listening on outboundProgress events...

TTK-Assertion-Report-dfsp-p2p-tests-2020-06-01T14:46:21.303Z.html was generated
Terminate with exit code 0

You will find a report in the project folder - 'TTK-Assertion-Report-{collection-name}-{ISO-date}.{report-format}'

2.4 AWS S3 Upload

You can choose to upload the generated report to AWS S3 at the end of tests execution.

Use the command line option '--report-target' to specify the target in the format s3://<bucket_name>/<object_key>

You can use the option '--report-auto-filename-enable' to replace the file name specified in the target with an auto generated file name.

To use AWS S3 service, the following environment variables should be set with proper credentials

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  • AWS_REGION

Example Command:

ml-ttk-cli -m outbound -i examples/collections/dfsp/p2p_happy_path.json -e examples/environments/dfsp_local_environment.json --report-format html --report-auto-filename-enable true --report-target s3://qa-reports-bucket/reports-folder/report-name.html

2.5 Slack Notification

You can choose to notify over a slack channel after a completed tests execution. For this, you have to generate your slack webhook in slack portal and provide the webhook URL by the command line option '--slack-webhook-url'

If the S3 option is also set, then a link to the uploaded report will be sent in the slack notification.

Example Command:

ml-ttk-cli -m outbound -i examples/collections/dfsp/p2p_happy_path.json -e examples/environments/dfsp_local_environment.json --slack-webhook-url=https://hooks.slack.com/services/blablabla...

Auditing Dependencies

We use npm-audit-resolver along with npm audit to check dependencies for node vulnerabilities, and keep track of resolved dependencies with an audit-resolve.json file.

To start a new resolution process, run:

npm run audit:resolve

You can then check to see if the CI will pass based on the current dependencies with:

npm run audit:check

And commit the changed audit-resolve.json to ensure that CircleCI will build correctly.

Container Scans

As part of our CI/CD process, we use anchore-cli to scan our built docker container for vulnerabilities upon release.

If you find your release builds are failing, refer to the container scanning in our shared Mojaloop CI config repo. There is a good chance you simply need to update the mojaloop-policy-generator.js file and re-run the circleci workflow.

For more information on anchore and anchore-cli, refer to:

Automated Releases

As part of our CI/CD process, we use a combination of CircleCI, standard-version npm package and github-release CircleCI orb to automatically trigger our releases and image builds. This process essentially mimics a manual tag and release.

On a merge to main, CircleCI is configured to use the mojaloopci github account to push the latest generated CHANGELOG and package version number.

Once those changes are pushed, CircleCI will pull the updated main, tag and push a release triggering another subsequent build that also publishes a docker image.
