Step 6: Testing
We should make sure the connector respects the Airbyte specifications before we start using it in production. This can be done by executing the Connector Acceptance Tests.
These tests will assert the most basic functionalities work as expected and are configured in acceptance-test-config.yml.
Before running the tests, we'll create an invalid config to make sure the check operation fails if the credentials are wrong, and an abnormal state to verify the connector's behavior when running with an abnormal state.
Update integration_tests/invalid_config.json with this content
{
"access_key": "<invalid_key>",
"start_date": "2022-07-21",
"base": "USD"
}
and integration_tests/abnormal_state.json with
{
"rates": {
"date": "2999-12-31"
}
}
You can run the acceptance tests with the following commands using airbyte-ci:
airbyte-ci connectors --use-remote-secrets=false --name source-exchange-rates-tutorial test --only-step=acceptance
Next steps:
Next, we'll add the connector to the Airbyte platform.
