realitycheck

A sample app that validates some basic CircleCI features in three parallel workflows.

To run realitycheck, fork the repository and start building it on your installation of CircleCI. See Using realitycheck to validate your CircleCI installation, in the CircleCI Support Center, for details on forking the project and building it on your CircleCI installation.

Descriptions of the three workflows follow.

resource_class workflow

Tests all known resource_class options—queries the CircleCI API to verify that jobs ran with the requested resources.

  • Your instances must be large enough to accommodate these options—see our Configuration Reference for details
  • The base URL of your CircleCI installation (e.g. https://circleci.com) must be specified via a CIRCLE_HOSTNAME project environment variable
  • A personal API token (see CIRCLE_HOSTNAME/account/api URL endpoint) must be stored as a CIRCLE_TOKEN project environment variable

VM service workflow

Tests the functionality of the machine executor, Remote Docker Environment, and Docker Layer Caching.

Features workflow

  • Tests ability to save and restore caches
  • Tests writing to and reading from workspaces
  • Tests the default org-global context (NOTE: needs a key called CONTEXT_END_TO_END_TEST_VAR to exist in a context called org-global)
  • Tests multiple contexts (NOTE: needs a key called MULTI_CONTEXT_END_TO_END_VAR to exist in a context called individual-local)
  • Tests upload/storage of artifacts and test results
