support on.fail.exec actions #13

Closed jaypipes closed 1 year ago

jaypipes commented 1 year ago

Users would like to be able to execute commands, collect log information, grep for errors in output and other actions when a test assertion fails.

For instance, if an application is deployed using Kubernetes and network connectivity doesn't work for the application, the test author might want to call kubectl logs in the event of a test failure.

Another example might be if you wanted to grep a log file in the event that no connectivity on a particular IP:PORT combination could be made you might do this:

tests:
 - exec: nc -z $HOST $PORT
   on:
     fail:
       exec: grep ERROR /var/log/myapp.log

The grep ERROR /var/log/myapp.log command will only be executed if there is no connectivity to $HOST:$PORT and the results of that grep will be directed to the test's output. You can use the gdt.WithDebug() function to configure additional io.Writers to direct this output to.

This patch adds support for the exec plugin's on.fail field, hopefully in a way that is extensible for other plugins to use as an example (and possible embed the plugin/exec.Action struct).
