Content Testing

The project has many tests that are run via ctest from cmake. The tests are defined in tests/CMakeLists.txt. All kinds tests ran with our ctest suite, including Python Unit tests, content validations, and if enabled Ansible syntax checks, among many others. For help on how to run the tests please review the test section from the Building ComplianceAsCode guide.

Python

MyPy

Some utility scripts in the project are type checked with mypy. If you are writing a new Python file in the project you should consider using MyPy. To add a script to be checked with mypy use the mypy_test macro in tests/CMakeLists.txt.

Unit Tests

ctest is used to run the unit tests for the ssg python package that is in the repo.

SCAPVal

We use SCAPVal to valid our content. Since a separate download is required this test is disabled by default. A working Java installation is also required to SCAPVal to work. To enable this test the following options will need to passed to cmake:

• -DENABLE_SCAPVAL13:BOOL=ON - This enables SCAPVal

• -DSCAPVAL_PATH='/opt/scapval/SCAP-Content-Validation-Tool-1.3.5/scapval-1.3.5.jar'

SCAPVal can be run with ctest using the following command ctest -R 'scapval' --output-on-failure.
