Test framework¶
Environments¶
Most integrations monitor services like databases or web servers, rather than system properties like CPU usage. For such cases, you'll want to spin up an environment and gracefully tear it down when tests finish.
We define all environment actions in a fixture called dd_environment that looks semantically like this:
@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def dd_environment():
try:
set_up_env()
yield some_default_config
finally:
tear_down_env()
This is not only used for regular tests, but is also the basis of our E2E testing. The start command executes everything before the yield and the stop command executes everything after it.
We provide a few utilities for common environment types.
Docker¶
The docker_run utility makes it easy to create services using docker-compose.
from datadog_checks.dev import docker_run
@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def dd_environment():
with docker_run(os.path.join(HERE, 'docker', 'compose.yaml')):
yield ...
Read the reference for more information.
Terraform¶
The terraform_run utility makes it easy to create services from a directory of Terraform files.
from datadog_checks.dev.terraform import terraform_run
@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def dd_environment():
with terraform_run(os.path.join(HERE, 'terraform')):
yield ...
Currently, we only use this for services that would be too complex to setup with Docker (like OpenStack) or things that cannot be provided by Docker (like vSphere). We provide some ready-to-use cloud templates that are available for referencing by default. We prefer using GCP when possible.
Terraform E2E tests are not run in our public CI as that would needlessly slow down builds.
Read the reference for more information.
Mocker¶
The mocker fixture is provided by the pytest-mock plugin. This fixture automatically restores anything that was mocked at the end of each test and is more ergonomic to use than stacking decorators or nesting context managers.
Here's an example from their docs:
def test_foo(mocker):
# all valid calls
mocker.patch('os.remove')
mocker.patch.object(os, 'listdir', autospec=True)
mocked_isfile = mocker.patch('os.path.isfile')
It also has many other nice features, like using pytest introspection when comparing calls.
Benchmarks¶
The benchmark fixture is provided by the pytest-benchmark plugin. It enables the profiling of functions with the low-overhead cProfile module.
It is quite useful for seeing the approximate time a given check takes to run, as well as gaining insight into any potential performance bottlenecks. You would use it like this:
def test_large_payload(benchmark, dd_run_check):
check = AwesomeCheck('awesome', {}, [instance])
# Run once to get any initialization out of the way.
dd_run_check(check)
benchmark(dd_run_check, check)
To add benchmarks, define a bench environment in hatch.toml:
[envs.bench]
By default, the test command skips all benchmark environments. To run only benchmark environments use the --bench/-b flag. The results are sorted by tottime, which is the total time spent in the given function (and excluding time made in calls to sub-functions).
Logs¶
We provide an easy way to utilize log collection with E2E Docker environments.
-
Pass
mount_logs=Trueto docker_run. This will use the logs example in the integration's config spec. For example, the following defines 2 example log files:- template: logs example: - type: file path: /var/log/apache2/access.log source: apache service: apache - type: file path: /var/log/apache2/error.log source: apache service: apacheAlternatives
- If
mount_logsis a sequence ofint, only the selected indices (starting at 1) will be used. So, using the Apache example above, to only monitor the error log you would set it to[2]. - In lieu of a config spec, for whatever reason, you may set
mount_logsto adictcontaining the standard logs key.
- If
-
All requested log files are available to reference as environment variables for any Docker calls as
DD_LOG_<LOG_CONFIG_INDEX>where the indices start at 1.volumes: - ${DD_LOG_1}:/usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log - ${DD_LOG_2}:/usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log -
To send logs to a custom URL, set
log_urlfor the configured organization.

A convenient context manager for safely setting up and tearing down Docker environments.
Parameters:
compose_file (str):
A path to a Docker compose file. A custom tear
down is not required when using this.
build (bool):
Whether or not to build images for when `compose_file` is provided
service_name (str):
Optional name for when ``compose_file`` is provided
up (callable):
A custom setup callable
down (callable):
A custom tear down callable. This is required when using a custom setup.
on_error (callable):
A callable called in case of an unhandled exception
sleep (float):
Number of seconds to wait before yielding. This occurs after all conditions are successful.
endpoints (list[str]):
Endpoints to verify access for before yielding. Shorthand for adding
`CheckEndpoints(endpoints)` to the `conditions` argument.
log_patterns (list[str | re.Pattern]):
Regular expression patterns to find in Docker logs before yielding.
This is only available when `compose_file` is provided. Shorthand for adding
`CheckDockerLogs(compose_file, log_patterns, 'all')` to the `conditions` argument.
mount_logs (bool):
Whether or not to mount log files in Agent containers based on example logs configuration
conditions (callable):
A list of callable objects that will be executed before yielding to check for errors
env_vars (dict[str, str]):
A dictionary to update `os.environ` with during execution
wrappers (list[callable]):
A list of context managers to use during execution
attempts (int):
Number of attempts to run `up` and the `conditions` successfully. Defaults to 2 in CI
attempts_wait (int):
Time to wait between attempts
