Run permissions tests from Foreman core#51
Conversation

I wish this list (or at least its base) could come from Foreman and not be hard-coded here. |
How do you know what is and isn't relevant from Foreman core? Today in Jenkins we run the full Foreman test suite, which makes it a lot slower but you'd test for regressions. |

I don't think there is a way to "know", but we can offer a "recommended minimum"? |

OpenSCAP has defined a specific task for it: Now one question is: should |
I think a static list is perfectly fine. |
|
Just a crazy idea: how about some helper in Foreman itself to define the test tasks? Then allow further configuration via a block. |

Crazy? Maybe. IMHO one thing we should consider is time. Is this something we want to have soon or we can live without while we figure out the best implementation? |

Before this, libs was ['test', File.expand_path('../../test', __dir__)], now it's only [ForemanPluginTemplate::Engine.root.join('test')], doesn't that mean the bare test one is not added anymore, which means the test helpers from Foreman are not available anymor?

We just tried that and this is exactly what happened: https://github.com/ATIX-AG/foreman_resource_quota/actions/runs/12009329940/job/33473856106#step:21:18

IMHO this is the important line of this PR and we should get that merged.

I also think that this should get merged because we just stumbled across some permissions issue during plugin development and I realized only now that this permissions test got lost during the move to the unified github actions workflow.

Opened to showcase an alternative to theforeman/actions#16.
The idea is that plugins should always run a certain test from core. This relies on:
It also starts to depend on
db:test:preparesince I saw that at least inforeman_tasks.
