Testing on Kubernetes

Prerequisites

• Basic Kubernetes knowledge
• A basic understanding of cowait build and cowait push, see building and pushing
• Knowledge of cowait.yml, see Configuration
• A configured kubernetes cluster, see Cluster Management.

Testing on Kubernetes

To make sure your tasks work in a cluster environment, Cowait provides running tests on Kubernetes via the --cluster argument to cowait test.

cowait test --cluster my_kubernetes

Further, you can include the --push argument, to build and push your image to Kubernetes before running. This is just a convenience - you could also just do cowait build and cowait push before running cowait test. Either way, you need to make sure that your recent changes are in the image on your docker registry so that Kubernetes picks up the corrent image.
