Newman

The JUnit check type runs a new kubernetes pod with the specified image, in this example we are running a postman collection test suite using the newman cli.

apiVersion: canaries.flanksource.com/v1
kind: Canary
metadata:
name: newman-junit
spec:
interval: 120
severity: high
junit:
- testResults: "/tmp/"
name: junit-newman
display:
template: |
✅ {{.results.passed}} ❌ {{.results.failed}} in 🕑 {{.results.duration}}
{{ range $r := .results.suites}}
{{- if gt (conv.ToInt $r.failed) 0 }}
{{$r.name}} ✅ {{$r.passed}} ❌ {{$r.failed}} in 🕑 {{$r.duration}}
{{- end }}
{{- end }}
spec:
containers:
- name: newman
image: ghcr.io/flanksource/canary-newman:latest
command: ["/start.sh"]

By configuring newman to export JUnit to the testResults folder, canary-checker will pick up the results and make then available display formating and health evaluation.

start.sh
set -x
mkdir -p /tmp/junit-results
newman run newman.json --reporters junit --reporter-export /tmp/junit.xml
cp /tmp/*.xml /tmp/junit-results/
touch /tmp/junit-results/done

For a complete working example, see canary-checker-examples/newman
