Test workflow not running in pr-open Github Action

[tobiasmllr]

@DerekRoberts Thank you for fixing the earlier problems! Now I see that my testing step does not run correctly. Could you give me a hint how I can execute a test from within the deployed docker container?

You can see the error in the failed step of #102

Run docker exec -it rctool /bin/bash -c "python manage.py test"
Error response from daemon: No such container: rctool
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

This is my Tests step, basically I just want to run python manage.py test from within the rctool docker container

  tests:
    name: Run Tests for Django App
    needs: [deploys]
    runs-on: ubuntu-22.04
    steps:
      - name: Run Django Tests in frontend docker container
        run: |
          docker exec -it rctool /bin/bash -c "python manage.py test"

@tobiasmllr Tests are usually run outside of the container, like in the example below. Should I make changes to your PR?

@tobiasmllr are you running tests in a mock environment, or are you spinning up a container to run tests inside that container, could you elaborate what you are trying to do. GitHub Actions cannot reach the container running in OpenShift directly , until you are trying to do endpoint test over HTTP which is possible.

Hello, thanks for looking at this so quickly! I finished the previous pull request as it was already too busy, I removed the test-step from that version.

Yes, I see now where the test goes, but I'm still not sure how to specify which docker container it runs in, based on your link @DerekRoberts. If you know where it goes, feel free to edit the analysis.yml

@mishraomp I would like to run the test in a running version of the docker image that was built successfully. It does run self contained and should work similar to the pytest example Derek linked, but Django just has it's own invocation for the test (python manage.py test)

thanks @tobiasmllr ,maybe we can spin up rctool container within GHA itself and run tests within that

or else we have to look into oc exec

Solved in helpers repo! Thanks @tobiasmllr for catching a potentially very painful bug. :)
