Integration Tests

Additional to the unit tests, you may run the integration test suite.

To run the integrations tests, creating and configuration of a project in the Google Developers Console is required. Once you create a project, set the following environment variables to be able to run the against the actual APIs.

  • GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID: Developers Console project's ID (e.g. bamboo-shift-455)
  • GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_KEY: The path to the JSON key file.

Create a storage bucket with the same name as the project id set in GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID. The storage integration test will create and delete some objects in this bucket.

Install the gcloud command-line tool to your machine and use it to create the indexes used in the datastore integration tests with indexes found in datastore/testdata/index.yaml:

From the project's root directory:

# Install the app component
$ gcloud components update app

# Set the default project in your env
$ gcloud config set project $GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID

# Authenticate the gcloud tool with your account
$ gcloud auth login

# Create the indexes
$ gcloud preview datastore create-indexes datastore/testdata/index.yaml

You can run the integration tests by running:

$ go test -v -tags=integration google.golang.org/cloud/...
