How to Test With Kubernetes

You can create all of the required infrstructure for funcX web service and run it on your host for debugging.

1. Deploy the helm chart
2. Set up your local app config with the following values:

   DB_NAME = "public"
   DB_USER = "funcx"
   DB_PASSWORD = "leftfoot1"
   DB_HOST = "localhost"
   
   REDIS_PORT = 6379
   REDIS_HOST = "localhost"

3. Forward the postgres pod ports to your host. This command will not return so start it in another shell.

   kubectl port-forward funcx-postgresql-0 5432:5432

4. Forward the Redis master pod ports to your host. This command will not return so start it in another shell.

   kubectl port-forward funcx-redis-master-0 6379:6379

5. Launch the flask app:

   APP_CONFIG_FILE=../conf/app.conf PYTHONPATH=. python funcx_web_service/application.py

6. Obtain a JWT to authenticate requests to the REST server

    python integration_tests/get_valid_token.py

7. Use the postman tests in integration_tests/funcX.postman_collection.json with the host variable set to localhost:5000 and the access_token set to your JWT.
