Experimental extension of the activitypub-testsuite for testing bovine.

This repository contains bovine-specific code and configuration. The test framework starts a Python subprocess at the beginning of a test session. The server main is in server.py. This sets up an in-memory database and adds a test reset endpoint. Before each test, the test reset action is invoked to reset the bovine database.

• Node.js 16+

The project is currently configured to expect the activitypub-testsuite repository in a sibling directory. In the future, this may be modified to include activitypub-testsuite as a git submodule in the bovine-aptesting testing repository.

1. Create a directory to hold the repositories, testing, for example, but the name doesn't matter.

2. Clone the activitypub-testsuite into that directory and install it.

git clone https://github.com/steve-bate/activitypub-testsuite.git
cd activitypub-testsuite/
poetry install
cd -

3. Clone the bovine-aptesting repository into the testing directory (a sibling of the previous repository). Note the special submodule-related argument to clone.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/steve-bate/bovine-aptesting

At this point, the directory structure should look similar to the following one.

testing
  ├── activitypub-testsuite
  ├── bovine-aptesting

1. Change to the bovine-aptesting directory and install it.

cd bovine-aptesting
poetry install

Run the tests from bovine-aptesting directory. The tests will run in a Python virtual environment created by Poetry. You will need to run them using

poetry run pytest

or

poetry shell  # creates a shell configured with the virtual environment
pytest
