Programmable Test Procedures

The test_proc property in the configuration section of the YAML gives you the ability to easily test the validity of the unsaved configuration parameters entered by the end-user with minimal configuration. Today there are many pre-configured commands that can be run including host resolution, github auth, aws auth and certificate verification, among many others.

The addition of Programmable Test Procedures enables you to run arbitrary containers to validate the same input from the configuration screen and show a friendly error message to the end-user. You can use runtime configuration as input to your container command and capture the result code and message and format it for display to the end-user.

Example

The following example will check the validity of the password entered by the end-user. The test_proc.custom_command property of the yaml will instruct Replicated to run a container defined in the scheduler section of the YAML. The test_proc.results property can be utilized to interpret output from the container and format it for display to the end-user. For more detailed, scheduler specific examples refer to the Native, Kubernetes and Swarm documentation for Programmable Test Procedures.
