Creating a test environment

You need a test environment for several reasons:

  • Creation of new parsers or scenarios
  • Testing new features or in general
  • Showcase a bug or a corner-case

This can be done directly with the tarball of the release :

wget https://github.com/crowdsecurity/crowdsec/releases/download/v1.3.0/crowdsec-release.tgztar xvzf crowdsec-release.tgzcd crowdsec-v1.3.0./test_env.sh

You receive a directory structure like this:

crowdsec-v1.3.0  |- cmd  |   |- crowdsec  |   |- crowdsec-cli  |- config  |   |- patterns  |- plugins  |   |- notifications  |- tests      |- config      |- data      |- logs      |- plugins

The test environment is available in the folder tests and provides a functional CrowdSec environment :

cd tests./crowdsec -c dev.yaml

cscli should be functional as well :

cd tests./cscli -c dev.yaml hub list

In the test environment the configurations are in the folder config/.
