Okay so I am a bit lost with the automated testing using Gitlab CI. I hope I can explain my problem so somebody can help me. I'll try to explain the situation first, after which I'll try to ask a question (which is harder than it sounds)
Situation
(1) React frontend with Jest unit tests and Cypress e2e tests
(2) Django API server 1 for a Postgres database and tests using pytest
(3) Django API server 2 with a MongoDB database and tests using pytest
Gitlab
For the 2 API's, there is a Docker and a docker-compose file. These work fine on its own.
We are using GitLab for the CI/CD, there we have the following stages in this order:
- build: where dockers for 1, 2 & 3 are build separate and pushed to registry
- Test: Where the unit testing and e2e test (should) run
- Release: where the docker images are released
- Deploy: Where the docker images are deployed
Goal
I want to set up the GitLab CI such that it runs the cypress tests. But for this, all build dockers are needed. Currently, I am not able to use all dockers together when performing the end-to-end tests
Problem
I don't really get how I would achieve this.
- Do I need one Docker-compose file including all dockers and databases?
- Can I use the dockers that are built in the build stage for my e2e tests and can somebody give me an example of how this would be achieved?
I hope somebody can give me some advice on how to achieve this. An example would be even better but I don't know if somebody would want to do that.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
