# GitLab tests in the Continuous Integration (CI) context
### Test suite parallelization on the CI
Our current CI parallelization setup is as follows:
1. The `knapsack` job in the prepare stage that is supposed to ensure we have a
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
`knapsack/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}/rspec_report-master.json` file:
- The `knapsack/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}/rspec_report-master.json` file is fetched
from S3, if it's not here we initialize the file with `{}`.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
1. Each `rspec x y` job are run with `knapsack rspec` and should have an evenly
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
distributed share of tests:
- It works because the jobs have access to the
`knapsack/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}/rspec_report-master.json` since the "artifacts
from all previous stages are passed by default".
- the jobs set their own report path to
`KNAPSACK_REPORT_PATH=knapsack/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}/${JOB_NAME[0]}_node_${CI_NODE_INDEX}_${CI_NODE_TOTAL}_report.json`.
- if knapsack is doing its job, test files that are run should be listed under
`Report specs`, not under `Leftover specs`.

1. The `update-knapsack` job takes all the
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
`knapsack/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}/${JOB_NAME[0]}_node_${CI_NODE_INDEX}_${CI_NODE_TOTAL}_report.json`
files from the `rspec x y` jobs and merge them all together into a single
`knapsack/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}/rspec_report-master.json` file that is then
uploaded to S3.

After that, the next pipeline will use the up-to-date
2019-05-30 16:15:17 +05:30
`knapsack/${CI_PROJECT_NAME}/rspec_report-master.json` file.

### Monitoring
The GitLab test suite is [monitored] for the `master` branch, and any branch
that includes `rspec-profile` in their name.
[monitored]: ../performance.md#rspec-profiling
## CI setup
- On CE and EE, the test suite runs both PostgreSQL and MySQL.
- Rails logging to `log/test.log` is disabled by default in CI [for
performance reasons][logging]. To override this setting, provide the
`RAILS_ENABLE_TEST_LOG` environment variable.
