The readme highlights things which could be targets for improvement in
the future (e.g. lack of isolation from the environment) but for now the
explanation should probably be sufficient.

Forgejo integration testing

This repository contains a small selection of tests for validating interactions of git-annex with a Forgejo-aneksajo instance.

Example usage

Using uv run pytest from the project root is recommended to automatically manage dependencies. The following command will run all tests against the given forgejo instance, creating repositories under the "scratch" organization (which must exist beforehand):

  export FORGEJO_TOKEN=<...>
  uv run pytest --instance-url https://hub.example.invalid --org scratch --gpg-keyid B2682F34

Not all parameters are mandatory, see below.

Parametrization

CLI

The following parameters can be provided to pytest:

  • --instance-url (required): base URL of the forgejo instance that the tests will run against
  • --org: name of the organization for creating test repositories; if not provided, all repositories will be created under the user account the token belongs to
  • --gpg-keyid: GPG key ID for use with tests that use encrypted special remotes (used with initremote); these tests will be skipped if not provided

Environment variables

The following environment variables will be read on setup:

  • FORGEJO_TOKEN: access token to use for forgejo API calls (e.g. creating repositories); needs read:misc, write:organization, write:repository, and write:user permissions

Environment and interactions

Forgejo API calls will be done using the instance URL and credentials provided.

Git & git-annex operations will be done in the same environment as the pytest process, ie. with the configuration and credential helpers defined by the user. Caching or unlocked store of git credentials will eliminate the need for interaction.

GPG operations (done by git-annex) will be done in the same environment as the pytest process, ie. with the user's key store. These tests are enabled by providing the --gpg-keyid option and skipped otherwise. A dedicated throwaway key with no password would work best.

Repository organization

Tests are in tests, helpers are in src to make them importable as a named package (although they are likely not very useful on their own).

Caveats

Repository cleanup is not yet implemented, so test repositories are (currently) not removed after the test session.
