Patrick Ohly 5088b2ee2f e2e storage: read/write + read-only ephemeral inline volume test, data sharing
The assumption so far was that all drivers support read/write
volumes. That might not necessarily be true, so we have to let the
test driver specify it and then test accordingly.

Another aspect that is worth testing is whether the driver correctly
creates a new volume for each pod even if the volume attributes are
the same. However, drivers are not required to do that, so again we
have to let the test driver specify that.

When a test suite like test/e2e/e2e.test from Kubernetes includes this package, the -storage.testdriver parameter can be used one or more times to enabling testing of a certain pre-installed storage driver.

The parameter takes as argument the name of a .yaml or .json file. The filename can be absolute or relative to --repo-root. The content of the file is used to populate a struct that defines how to test the driver. For a full definition of the struct see the external.go file.

Here is an example for the CSI hostpath driver:

ShortName: mytest
StorageClass:
  FromName: true
SnapshotClass:
  FromName: true
DriverInfo:
  Name: csi-hostpath
  Capabilities:
    persistence: true
    dataSource: true
    multipods: true

Currently there is no checking for unknown fields, i.e. only file entries that match with struct entries are used and other entries are silently ignored, so beware of typos.

For each driver, the storage tests from test/e2e/storage/testsuites are added for that driver with External Storage [Driver: <Name>] as prefix.

To run just those tests for the example above, put that content into /tmp/hostpath-testdriver.yaml, ensure e2e.test is in your PATH or current directory (downloaded from a test tarball like https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.14.0/kubernetes-test-linux-amd64.tar.gz or built via make WHAT=test/e2e/e2e.test), and invoke:

ginkgo -p -focus='External.Storage.*csi-hostpath' \
       -skip='\[Feature:|\[Disruptive\]' \
       e2e.test \
       -- \
       -storage.testdriver=/tmp/hostpath-testdriver.yaml

This disables tests which depend on optional features. Those tests must be run by selecting them explicitly in an environment that supports them, for example snapshotting:

ginkgo -p -focus='External.Storage.*csi-hostpath.*\[Feature:VolumeSnapshotDataSource\]' \
       -skip='\[Disruptive\]' \
       e2e.test \
       -- \
       -storage.testdriver=/tmp/hostpath-testdriver.yaml
