Rego playground

rego-examples

Rego playground.

To run the tests.

docker run -v $PWD:/example openpolicyagent/opa test example/[path] -v

Tips

• To view debug messages when running tests, use trace(sprintf("Some message")) and execute opa test using the --explain notes flag

Testing rules that define set documents

The following rule evaluates to a set document not a boolean document. If it were defined deny { ... } it would evaluate to a boolean document.

deny[msg] {
    changes := input.resource_changes[_] 
    changes.type == "google_project" 
    count(changes.change.after.name) > 30
    msg = "Project name too long"
}

Add a test for project name length.

test_project_name_too_long_denied {
    deny["Project name too long"] with input as { "resource_changes": [{ "type": "google_project", "change": { "after": { "name": "Test project whose name is too long" } } }] }
}

It's important to remember that deny[msg] returns a set document. If you evaluate the rule with the input in the test using the Rego playground the output is:

{
    "deny": [
        "Project name too long"
    ]
}

What happens if you add two projects to the input?

test_project_name_too_long_denied {
    deny[project_name_too_long_msg] with input as { "resource_changes": [{ "type": "google_project", "change": { "after": { "name": "Test project whose name is too long" } } }, { "type": "google_project", "change": { "after": { "name": "Test project whose name is too long the sequel" } } }] }
}

Does this change the set document which is output? No, because sets are collections of unique values.

What happens if the msg includes the name of the project?

deny[msg] {
    changes := input.resource_changes[_] 
    changes.type == "google_project" 
    count(changes.change.after.name) > 30
    msg = input.resource_changes[_].change.after.name
}

test_project_name_too_long_denied {
    deny[input.resource_changes[_].change.after.name] with input as { "resource_changes": [{ "type": "google_project", "change": { "after": { "name": "Test project whose name is too long" } } },{ "type": "google_project", "change": { "after": { "name": "Test project whose name is too long 2" } } }] }
}

Does set change the evaluation of the set document? Yes.

{
    "deny": [
        "Test project whose name is too long",
        "Test project whose name is too long 2"
    ]
}
