Draft: Adding support for multiple cells to E2E tests, try 2

Andy Hohenner requested to merge Adding_Multiple_Cell_support_to_E2E into master

Description of the test

This is in support of Investigate how to support multiple Cells in E2... (gitlab-org/quality/quality-engineering/team-tasks#2016 - closed)

It adds the ability to support a list of GitLab instances (cells). The test being added specifically verifies that if you're logged into one cell, you are logged into them all.

How to set up and validate locally

From the qa directory:

bundle install
export WEBDRIVER_HEADLESS=false # If you'd like to watch the test in action
export QA_GITLAB_URL="http://gdk.test:3000" # Only needed if GDK is not running on http://127.0.0.1:3000
RELEASE_REGISTRY_URL='registry.gitlab.com'  RELEASE='gitlab/gitlab-ee:latest' WEBDRIVER_HEADLESS=false bundle exec rspec qa/specs/features/browser_ui/9_data_stores/cells/multiple_cells_spec.rb

Checklist

  • Confirm the test has a testcase: tag linking to an existing test case in the test case project.
  • Note if the test is intended to run in specific scenarios. If a scenario is new, add a link to the MR that adds the new scenario.
  • Follow the end-to-end tests style guide and best practices.
  • Use the appropriate RSpec metadata tag(s).
  • Most resources will be cleaned up via the general cleanup task. Check that is successful, or ensure resources are cleaned up in the test:
    • New resources have api_get_path and api_delete_path implemented if possible.
    • If any resource cannot be deleted in the general delete task, make sure it is ignored.
    • If any resource cannot be deleted in the general delete task, remove it in the test (e.g., in an after block).
  • Ensure that no transient bugs are hidden accidentally due to the usage of waits and reloads.
  • Verify the tags to ensure it runs on the desired test environments.
  • If this MR has a dependency on another MR, such as a GitLab QA MR, specify the order in which the MRs should be merged.
  • (If applicable) Create a follow-up issue to document the special setup necessary to run the test: ISSUE_LINK
  • If the test requires an admin's personal access token, ensure that the test passes on your local environment with and without the GITLAB_QA_ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN provided.
