To ensure a minimum quality bar, Airbyte runs all connectors against the same set of integration tests (sources & destinations have two different test suites). Those tests ensure that each connector adheres to the Airbyte Specification and responds correctly to Airbyte commands when provided valid (or invalid) inputs.
Note: If you are looking for reference documentation for the deprecated first version of test suites, see Standard Tests (Legacy).
The Standard Test Suite runs its tests against the connector's Docker image. It takes as input the configuration file acceptance-tests-config.yml.
The Standard Test Suite use pytest as a test runner and was built as pytest plugin source-acceptance-test. This plugin adds a new configuration option —acceptance-test-config - it should points to the folder with acceptance-tests-config.yml.
Each test suite has a timeout and will fail if the limit is exceeded.
See all the test cases, their description, and inputs in Source Acceptance Tests.
Create acceptance-test-config.yml. In most cases, your connector already has this file in its root folder. Here is an example of the minimal acceptance-test-config.yml:
connector_image: airbyte/source-some-connector:dev
tests:
spec:
- spec_path: "some_folder/spec.json"Build your connector image if needed.
docker build .
Run one of the two scripts in the root of the connector:
python -m pytest -p integration_tests.acceptance- to run tests inside virtual environment./acceptance-test-docker.sh- to run tests from a docker container
If the test fails you will see detail about the test and where to find its inputs and outputs to reproduce it. You can also debug failed tests by adding —pdb —last-failed:
python -m pytest -p integration_tests.acceptance --pdb --last-failed
See other useful pytest options here
Since the inputs to standard tests are often static, the file-based runner is sufficient for most connectors. However, in some cases, you may need to run pre or post hooks to dynamically create or destroy resources for use in standard tests. For example, if we need to spin up a Redshift cluster to use in the test then tear it down afterwards, we need the ability to run code before and after the tests, as well as customize the Redshift cluster URL we pass to the standard tests. If you have need for this use case, please reach out to us via Github or Slack. We currently support it for Java & Python, and other languages can be made available upon request.
Create pytest yield-fixture with your custom setup/teardown code and place it in integration_tests/acceptance.py, Example of fixture that starts a docker container before tests and stops before exit:
@pytest.fixture(scope="session", autouse=True)
def connector_setup():
""" This fixture is a placeholder for external resources that acceptance test might require.
"""
client = docker.from_env()
container = client.containers.run("your/docker-image", detach=True)
yield
container.stop()These tests are configurable via acceptance-test-config.yml. Each test has a number of inputs, you can provide multiple sets of inputs which will cause the same to run multiple times - one for each set of inputs.
Example of acceptance-test-config.yml:
connector_image: string # Docker image to test, for example 'airbyte/source-hubspot:0.1.0'
base_path: string # Base path for all relative paths, optional, default - ./
tests: # Tests configuration
spec: # list of the test inputs
connection: # list of the test inputs
- config_path: string # set #1 of inputs
status: string
- config_path: string # set #2 of inputs
status: string
# discovery: # skip this test
incremental: [] # skip this test as wellVerify that a spec operation issued to the connector returns a valid spec.

Configuring all streams in the input catalog to full refresh mode verifies that a read operation produces some RECORD messages. Each stream should have some data, if you can't guarantee this for particular streams - add them to the empty_streams list.
Set validate_data_points=True if possible. This validation is going to be enabled by default and won't be configurable in future releases.

expect_records.extra_records |
boolean | True | Allow connector to produce extra records, but still enforce all records from the expected file to be produced |
expect_records is a nested configuration, if omitted - the part of the test responsible for record matching will be skipped. Due to the fact that we can't identify records without primary keys, only the following flag combinations are supported:
| extra_fields | exact_order | extra_records |

If some field has format attribute specified on its catalog json schema, Source Acceptance Testing framework performs checking against format. It support checking of all builtin jsonschema formats for draft 7 specification: email, hostnames, ip addresses, time, date and date-time formats.
Note: For date-time we are not checking against compliance against ISO8601 (and RFC3339 as subset of it). Since we are using specified format to set database column type on db normalization stage, value should be compliant to bigquery timestamp and SQL "timestamp with timezone" formats.
In general, the expected_records.json should contain the subset of output of the records of particular stream you need to test. The required fields are: stream, data, emitted_at
{"stream": "my_stream", "data": {"field_1": "value0", "field_2": "value0", "field_3": null, "field_4": {"is_true": true}, "field_5": 123}, "emitted_at": 1626172757000}

It then verifies that the RECORD messages output from both were identical or the former is a strict subset of the latter.

This test verifies that all streams in the input catalog which support incremental sync can do so correctly. It does this by running two read operations: the first takes the configured catalog and config provided to this test as input. It then verifies that the sync produced a non-zero number of RECORD and STATE messages. The second read takes the same catalog and config used in the first test, plus the last STATE message output by the first read operation as the input state file. It verifies that either no records are produced (since we read all records in the first sync) or all records that produced have cursor value greater or equal to cursor value from STATE message. This test is performed only for streams that support incremental. Streams that do not support incremental sync are ignored. If no streams in the input catalog support incremental sync, this test is skipped.
