🧪 CI/CD Testing Guide - querido-diario-data-processing

🎯 Overview

The CI/CD pipeline now includes comprehensive testing for both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures, ensuring robust builds and deployments across all supported platforms.

🏗️ Testing Jobs

1. Multi-Architecture Testing (test-multi-arch)

Purpose: Validate builds work on both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures

Matrix Strategy:

  • linux/amd64 - Native x86_64 testing
  • linux/arm64 - ARM64 architecture testing (emulated on GitHub runners)

What it tests:

  • ✅ Docker builds succeed on both architectures
  • ✅ Python dependencies import correctly (AMD64 only for speed)
  • ✅ Apache Tika server starts and responds (AMD64 only for speed)
  • ✅ Multi-arch compatibility without runtime issues

Key Features:

  • Separate caching per architecture for optimal performance
  • Conditional testing - complex tests only on AMD64 to avoid emulation issues
  • Build validation - ensures images can be created on both platforms

2. Python Unit Testing (test-python-unit)

Purpose: Run comprehensive Python test suite with all dependencies

Services:

  • PostgreSQL 11: Database for data storage tests
  • OpenSearch 2.9.0: Search engine integration tests
  • MinIO: S3-compatible object storage tests

What it tests:

  • ✅ Unit tests: All Python modules and functions
  • ✅ Integration tests: Database, search, and storage connectivity
  • ✅ Apache Tika integration: Text extraction functionality
  • ✅ Code coverage: Quality metrics and coverage reporting

Test Categories:

  • tests/main_tests.py - Core application logic
  • tests/text_extraction_tests.py - Apache Tika integration
  • tests/text_extraction_task_tests.py - Task execution
  • tests/postgresql.py - Database operations
  • tests/opensearch.py - Search engine operations
  • tests/digital_ocean_spaces.py - Object storage operations

🚀 Build Jobs (Run after tests pass)

3. Data Processing Build (build-data-processing)

  • Depends on: test-multi-arch + test-python-unit
  • Platforms: linux/amd64, linux/arm64
  • Caching: GitHub Actions cache for faster builds

4. Apache Tika Build (build-apache-tika)

  • Depends on: test-multi-arch + test-python-unit
  • Platforms: linux/amd64, linux/arm64
  • Caching: Separate cache scope for independence

📊 Performance Optimizations

Caching Strategy

# Main application cache
cache-from: type=gha,scope=test-linux/amd64
cache-to: type=gha,mode=max,scope=test-linux/amd64

# ARM64 specific cache
cache-from: type=gha,scope=test-linux/arm64
cache-to: type=gha,mode=max,scope=test-linux/arm64

# Tika specific caches
cache-from: type=gha,scope=tika-test-linux/amd64
cache-to: type=gha,mode=max,scope=tika-test-linux/amd64

Parallel Execution

  • Multi-arch tests run in parallel matrix
  • Unit tests run independently with services
  • Builds only start after all tests pass
  • Total time: ~15-20 minutes (vs 30+ without optimization)

🧪 Test Coverage

Architecture Coverage

  • ✅ AMD64: Full testing including unit tests and integration
  • ✅ ARM64: Build validation and basic functionality
  • ✅ Cross-platform: Ensures compatibility across architectures

Dependency Coverage

# Tested dependencies
✅ sentence-transformers==3.3.1  # ML models
✅ psycopg2-binary==2.9.10       # PostgreSQL
✅ opensearchpy==2.7.1           # Search engine
✅ boto3==1.35.80                # AWS/S3 compatibility
✅ scikit-learn==1.5.2           # ML algorithms
✅ numpy==1.26.4                 # Numerical computing

Service Integration Coverage

  • ✅ PostgreSQL: Database connectivity and operations
  • ✅ OpenSearch: Index creation and search operations
  • ✅ MinIO/S3: Object storage and retrieval
  • ✅ Apache Tika: Text extraction from documents

# View specific run
gh run view <run-id> --repo okfn-brasil/querido-diario-data-processing

Common Issues & Solutions

1. ARM64 Build Failures

# Solution: Check emulation limits
- name: Set up QEMU
  uses: docker/setup-qemu-action@v3
  with:
    platforms: linux/arm64

2. Test Service Startup

# Solution: Health checks ensure services are ready
options: >-
  --health-cmd pg_isready
  --health-interval 10s
  --health-timeout 5s
  --health-retries 5

3. Cache Issues

# Solution: Clear specific cache scopes
