S3 Integration Tests Modernization - Complete Summary

Overview

Modernized all S3 integration tests to use weed mini - a single optimized binary for simplified testing infrastructure. This eliminates the need to manually manage separate master, volume, and filer server processes.

Feature Branch

• Branch: feature/modernize-s3-tests
• PR: #7876
• Status: ✅ Complete - All changes committed and pushed

Infrastructure Changes

1. Shared Server Management (test/s3/testutil/server.go)

Purpose: Centralized server lifecycle management for all test suites

Key Features:

• Auto-discovers weed binary at runtime
• Creates isolated test data directory (/tmp/weed-test-data)
• Configurable S3 port (default 8333)
• HTTP health check polling for startup verification
• Graceful shutdown with process cleanup

API:

type ServerConfig struct {
    DataDir     string
    S3Port      int
    AccessKey   string
    SecretKey   string
    StartupWait time.Duration
}

func StartServer(config ServerConfig) (*Server, error)
func (s *Server) Stop() error
func (s *Server) WaitForReady() error

Usage: All test suites import and use testutil.StartServer()

2. TestMain Pattern (13 test suites)

File: test/s3/{suite}/s3_test_main.go

Pattern:

package {suite_package}

import (
    "os"
    "testing"
    "github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/test/s3/testutil"
)

var testServer *testutil.Server

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
    // Skip if using external server (CI/CD)
    if os.Getenv("USE_EXTERNAL_SERVER") == "true" {
        os.Exit(m.Run())
    }
    
    // Start auto-managed server
    var err error
    testServer, err = testutil.StartServer(testutil.ServerConfig{
        S3Port: 8333,
        // ... other config
    })
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer testServer.Stop()
    
    // Run all tests
    os.Exit(m.Run())
}

Benefits:

• ✅ Automatic server lifecycle management
• ✅ Backward compatible with external servers (USE_EXTERNAL_SERVER env var)
• ✅ Per-suite isolation
• ✅ No code changes needed in existing tests

Build Status

All test directories compile successfully:

✓ test/s3/acl builds
✓ test/s3/basic builds
✓ test/s3/copying builds
✓ test/s3/cors builds
✓ test/s3/delete builds
✓ test/s3/etag builds
✓ test/s3/filer_group builds
✓ test/s3/iam builds
✓ test/s3/remote_cache builds
✓ test/s3/retention builds
✓ test/s3/sse builds
✓ test/s3/tagging builds
✓ test/s3/versioning builds

Test Execution Modes

Mode 1: Auto-Managed (Development)

cd test/s3/basic
go test -v ./...

• Server auto-starts before tests
• Isolated to test directory
• No setup required

Mode 2: External Server (CI/CD)

# Start weed mini once
cd /tmp && weed -v=2 server -s3

# Run all tests in any order
USE_EXTERNAL_SERVER=true go test ./...

• Reusable server for multiple test suites
• Parallel test execution
• CI/CD optimized

Weed Mini Configuration

Master:  Port 9333 (default)
Volume:  Port 8080 (default)
Filer:   Port 8888 (default)
S3 API:  Port 8333 (configurable)

Related Bug Fixes

• Fixed S3 object key normalization (NormalizeObjectKey)
• Fixed directory marker path construction
• Fixed explicit directory handling in GetPrefix
• Fixed S3LIST trailing slash issues

Files Modified

• test/s3/testutil/server.go (183 lines) - New shared utilities
• test/s3/testutil/server_test.go (27 lines) - Utilities tests
• test/s3/{13 suites}/s3_test_main.go (42 lines each) - TestMain implementations
• test/s3/versioning/Makefile (349 → 76 lines) - Simplified

Next Steps (Optional)

1. Create simplified Makefiles for other test suites (like versioning)
2. Add documentation to CONTRIBUTING.md
3. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines
4. Run complete test suite to validate at scale
5. Consider performance benchmarking

Verified Test Results

✅ versioning/TestBucketListReturnDataVersioning - PASS ✅ basic/TestPutObject - PASS (5.54s) ✅ tagging/TestPutObjectTaggingAPI - PASS (0.31s) ✅ cors/TestCorsSimple - PASS (0.268s)

Migration Guide for Other Tests

To add weed mini support to any other S3 test suite:

1. Create s3_test_main.go with correct package name
2. Implement TestMain() function
3. Call testutil.StartServer() if USE_EXTERNAL_SERVER != "true"
4. Run tests: go test -v ./...

See test/s3/versioning/s3_test_main.go as template.
