# Running tests against a dockerised Synapse
|
|
|
|
It's possible to run integration tests against Synapse
|
|
using [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement). Complement is a Matrix Spec
|
|
compliance test suite for homeservers, and supports any homeserver docker image configured
|
|
to listen on ports 8008/8448. This document contains instructions for building Synapse
|
|
docker images that can be run inside Complement for testing purposes.
|
|
|
|
Note that running Synapse's unit tests from within the docker image is not supported.
|
|
|
|
## Testing with SQLite and single-process Synapse
|
|
|
|
> Note that `scripts-dev/complement.sh` is a script that will automatically build
|
|
> and run an SQLite-based, single-process of Synapse against Complement.
|
|
|
|
The instructions below will set up Complement testing for a single-process,
|
|
SQLite-based Synapse deployment.
|
|
|
|
Start by building the base Synapse docker image. If you wish to run tests with the latest
|
|
release of Synapse, instead of your current checkout, you can skip this step. From the
|
|
root of the repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build an image with the tag `matrixdotorg/synapse`.
|
|
|
|
Next, build the Synapse image for Complement. You will need a local checkout
|
|
of Complement. Change to the root of your Complement checkout and run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker build -t complement-synapse -f "dockerfiles/Synapse.Dockerfile" dockerfiles
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build an image with the tag `complement-synapse`, which can be handed to
|
|
Complement for testing via the `COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE` environment variable. Refer to
|
|
[Complement's documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/#running) for
|
|
how to run the tests, as well as the various available command line flags.
|
|
|
|
## Testing with PostgreSQL and single or multi-process Synapse
|
|
|
|
The above docker image only supports running Synapse with SQLite and in a
|
|
single-process topology. The following instructions are used to build a Synapse image for
|
|
Complement that supports either single or multi-process topology with a PostgreSQL
|
|
database backend.
|
|
|
|
As with the single-process image, build the base Synapse docker image. If you wish to run
|
|
tests with the latest release of Synapse, instead of your current checkout, you can skip
|
|
this step. From the root of the repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse -f docker/Dockerfile .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build an image with the tag `matrixdotorg/synapse`.
|
|
|
|
Next, we build a new image with worker support based on `matrixdotorg/synapse:latest`.
|
|
Again, from the root of the repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker build -t matrixdotorg/synapse-workers -f docker/Dockerfile-workers .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build an image with the tag` matrixdotorg/synapse-workers`.
|
|
|
|
It's worth noting at this point that this image is fully functional, and
|
|
can be used for testing against locally. See instructions for using the container
|
|
under
|
|
[Running the Dockerfile-worker image standalone](#running-the-dockerfile-worker-image-standalone)
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
Finally, build the Synapse image for Complement, which is based on
|
|
`matrixdotorg/synapse-workers`. You will need a local checkout of Complement. Change to
|
|
the root of your Complement checkout and run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker build -t matrixdotorg/complement-synapse-workers -f dockerfiles/SynapseWorkers.Dockerfile dockerfiles
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build an image with the tag `complement-synapse-workers`, which can be handed to
|
|
Complement for testing via the `COMPLEMENT_BASE_IMAGE` environment variable. Refer to
|
|
[Complement's documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/#running) for
|
|
how to run the tests, as well as the various available command line flags.
|
|
|
|
## Running the Dockerfile-worker image standalone
|
|
|
|
For manual testing of a multi-process Synapse instance in Docker,
|
|
[Dockerfile-workers](Dockerfile-workers) is a Dockerfile that will produce an image
|
|
bundling all necessary components together for a workerised homeserver instance.
|
|
|
|
This includes any desired Synapse worker processes, a nginx to route traffic accordingly,
|
|
a redis for worker communication and a supervisord instance to start up and monitor all
|
|
processes. You will need to provide your own postgres container to connect to, and TLS
|
|
is not handled by the container.
|
|
|
|
Once you've built the image using the above instructions, you can run it. Be sure
|
|
you've set up a volume according to the [usual Synapse docker instructions](README.md).
|
|
Then run something along the lines of:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -d --name synapse \
|
|
--mount type=volume,src=synapse-data,dst=/data \
|
|
-p 8008:8008 \
|
|
-e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host \
|
|
-e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no \
|
|
-e POSTGRES_HOST=postgres \
|
|
-e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
|
|
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=somesecret \
|
|
-e SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES=synchrotron,media_repository,user_dir \
|
|
-e SYNAPSE_WORKERS_WRITE_LOGS_TO_DISK=1 \
|
|
matrixdotorg/synapse-workers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
...substituting `POSTGRES*` variables for those that match a postgres host you have
|
|
available (usually a running postgres docker container).
|
|
|
|
The `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES` environment variable is a comma-separated list of workers to
|
|
use when running the container. All possible worker names are defined by the keys of the
|
|
`WORKERS_CONFIG` variable in [this script](configure_workers_and_start.py), which the
|
|
Dockerfile makes use of to generate appropriate worker, nginx and supervisord config
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Sharding is supported for a subset of workers, in line with the
|
|
[worker documentation](../docs/workers.md). To run multiple instances of a given worker
|
|
type, simply specify the type multiple times in `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES`
|
|
(e.g `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES=event_creator,event_creator...`).
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, `SYNAPSE_WORKER_TYPES` can either be left empty or unset to spawn no workers
|
|
(leaving only the main process). The container is configured to use redis-based worker
|
|
mode.
|
|
|
|
Logs for workers and the main process are logged to stdout and can be viewed with
|
|
standard `docker logs` tooling. Worker logs contain their worker name
|
|
after the timestamp.
|
|
|
|
Setting `SYNAPSE_WORKERS_WRITE_LOGS_TO_DISK=1` will cause worker logs to be written to
|
|
`<data_dir>/logs/<worker_name>.log`. Logs are kept for 1 week and rotate every day at 00:
|
|
00, according to the container's clock. Logging for the main process must still be
|
|
configured by modifying the homeserver's log config in your Synapse data volume.
