Changes since Kiwi TCMS 10.4

Improvements

  • Update django from 3.2.7 to 3.2.9
  • Update django-colorfield from 0.4.3 to 0.4.5
  • Update django-extensions from 3.1.3 to 3.1.5
  • Update django-grappelli from 2.15.1 to 2.15.3
  • Update django-tree-queries from 0.6.0 to 0.7.0
  • Update jira from 3.0.1 to 3.1.1
  • Update markdown from 3.3.4 to 3.3.6
  • Update mysqlclient from 2.0.3 to 2.1.0
  • Update psycopg2 from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2
  • Display a warning if connection doesn't use HTTPS (Ivajlo Karabojkov)
  • Account registration page can be turned on/off via settings. Fixes Issue #2500
  • TestCase Search page can now filter by TestPlan. Fixes Issue #2283
  • Allow template selection when creating new test case. Fixes Issue #957
  • TestCase page now allows specification of properties, e.g. mobile devices on which the test should be executed. This feature serves as a building block for Issue #1843, Issue #1931 and Issue #1344 but isn't active anywhere else inside Kiwi TCMS at the moment
  • TestExecution properties will be displayed inside TestRun page if they have been specified
  • Rearrange help-text in admin page for better visibility
  • Switch to official Postgres image from Docker Hub
  • Switch to official MariaDB image from Docker Hub

Warning:

For Postgres data dir changed from /var/lib/pgsql/data to /var/lib/postgres/data. Environment variables inside docker-compose file changed as well, see docker-compose.postgres.

For MariaDB data dir changed from /var/lib/mysql/data to /var/lib/mysql. MYSQL_CHARSET & MYSQL_COLLATION environment variables are no longer recognized. Instead they are present as command line options passed to the container, see docker-compose.yml. Previous workaround for these variables was also removed.

If you want to migrate from the previous centos/mariadb-103-centos7 or centos/postgresql-12-centos7 containers to mariadb:latest and postgres:latest make sure to update your container control files!

Settings

  • New setting REGISTRATION_ENABLED, default True, Can be controlled via environment variable KIWI_REGISTRATION_ENABLED. When set to False will disable account registration page

Database

  • New model testcases.Property
  • New model testcases.Template
  • New model testruns.TestExecutionProperty
  • Remove unique_together constraint for testruns.TestExecution model. This makes it possible to add multiple executions for the same test case in the same test run

Warning:

These newly added models create additional permission labels with names testcases | template | Can .... template, testcases | property | Can .... property, testruns | test execution property | Can .... test execution property

Execute manage.py refresh_permissions and/or assign them manually to users and groups if they should be able to interact with the new objects!

API

  • Method TestCase.filter() now returns additional fields setup_duration, testing_duration, expected_duration - all serialized in seconds. Refs Issue #1923 (Mfon Eti-mfon)
  • Method User.filter() will no longer return fields groups, user_permissions, date_joined and last_login
  • New method TestExecution.properties()
  • New method TestCase.properties()
  • New method TestCase.add_property()
  • New method TestCase.remove_property()

Bug fixes

  • Unify tab size & tab indentation b/w Python & SimpleMDE. Fixes Issue #1802
  • Use sane_list extension for rendering consecutive lists in markdown. Closes Issue #2511

Warning:

The visual markdown editor explicitly didn't follow markdown syntax rules by allowing indentation with 2 spaces and treating tabs as 2 spaces as well. See "Indentation/Tab Length" at https://python-markdown.github.io/#differences

The backend markdown rendering engine explicitly followed an undefined behavior which happens to be different from what the visual markdown editor does. See "Consecutive Lists" at https://python-markdown.github.io/#differences

The previous 2 changes make sure the visual editor and backend rendering engine follow the same rules. This may result is "broken" display of existing text which doesn't follow the markdown syntax rules. If you spot such text just edit to make it render the way you wish.

  • Fix broken URL and minor updates to documentation
  • Update GitLab tracker integration documentation to avoid confusion. Closes Issue #2559
  • Limit tag input length to 255 characters. Closes Issue #2176
  • Make error notifications in Admin to display with red color
  • Select only visible rows for bulk-update in TestRun page. Fixes Issue #2222
  • Remove Cache-Control header from httpd. Closes Issue #443

Refactoring and testing

  • Add permissions test for add-hyperlink-bulk menu. Closes Issue #716
  • Add explicit tests for issue tracker integration with GitLab.com
  • Tests teardown - remove comments & close issues on GitLab.com
  • Add missing rlPhaseEnd for docker tests
  • Multiple pylint and eslint fixes

Changes since Kiwi TCMS 8.5

Security

  • A high severity vulnerability which allows unprivileged data access via JSON-RPC endpoints has been fixed:
    • Affects all previous versions of Kiwi TCMS
    • Instances on public networks, such as Amazon EC2, are at higher risk
    • Instances on private networks are still vulnerable to anyone who can access the same network
    • This vulnerability has been disclosed by Michael Longmire (ShastaQA) and Stone Pack (ShastaQA)
  • Update marked from 0.8.2 to 1.1.1 for a medium severity vulnerability, see SNYK-JS-MARKED-584281

Improvements

  • Update django from 3.0.8 to 3.0.9

  • Update django-attachments from 1.5 to 1.6

  • Update prismjs from 1.20.0 to 1.21.0

  • Update pygithub from 1.51 to 1.53

  • Replace deprecated bleach-whitelist with bleach-allowlist

  • Make django-extensions a production dependency because it provides many useful manage.py commands

  • Enable syntax highlight for code blocks

  • Remove file attachments when related objects are deleted

  • Add image and file upload buttons to text editor. Fixes Issue #977

  • Require auth.view_user permission when trying to view user profiles. Fixes Issue #1685

  • Multiple pages now explicitly require view permissions before displaying read-only information. This gives administrators a finer grained control:

    • /bugs/<id>/ -> bugs.view_bug
    • /bugs/search/ -> bugs.view_bug
    • /cases/search/ -> testcases.view_testcase
    • /case/<id>/ -> testcases.view_testcase
    • /plans/search/ -> testplans.view_testplan
    • /plan/<id>/* -> testplans.view_testplan
    • /runs/search/ -> testruns.view_testrun
    • /runs/<id>/ -> testruns.view_testrun

    Previously these pages only required the user to be logged in

Warning:

The auth.view_user permission is not granted by default because the profile page contains personal information like names and email address. Administrators can grant this permission on a group or individual basis if they are OK with sharing this information.

Database

  • Migrations which manipulate data (contain RunPython) can now be rollbacked. See ./manage.py migrate --plan for the order in which migrations are applied (Bryan Mutai)
  • Increase Product.name size from 64 to 255 characters

API

  • Remove method TestExecution.create() in favor of TestRun.add_case()
  • Add method User.add_attachment()
  • Multiple API methods now explicitly require view permissions before returning read-only information. This is in-sync with the per-page changes listed above:
    • Bug.filter() -> bugs.view_bug
    • Bug.report() -> testruns.view_testexecution
    • Build.filter() -> management.view_build
    • Category.filter() -> testcases.view_category
    • Classification.filter() -> management.view_classification
    • Component.filter() -> management.view_component
    • PlanType.filter() -> testplans.view_plantype
    • Priority.filter() -> management.view_priority
    • Product.filter() -> management.view_product
    • Tag.filter() -> management.view_tag
    • TestCase.get_components() -> testcases.view_testcase
    • TestCase.get_notification_cc() -> testcases.view_testcase
    • TestCase.filter() -> testcases.view_testcase
    • TestCaseStatus.filter() -> testcases.view_testcasestatus
    • TestExecution.filter() -> testruns.view_testexecution
    • TestExecution.get_links() -> linkreference.view_linkreference
    • TestExecutionStatus.filter() -> testruns.view_testexecutionstatus
    • TestPlan.filter() -> testplans.view_testplan
    • TestRun.get_cases() -> testruns.view_testrun
    • TestRun.filter() -> testruns.view_testrun
    • User.filter() -> auth.view_user
    • Version.filter() -> management.view_version

Bug fixes

  • Update documentation to reflect that test cases cannot be rearranged from within a TestRun but only from a TestPlan. Fixes Issue #1805 (@Prome88)
  • Incorrect code formatting for HTML <pre> tags. Closes Issue #1300
  • Fix a bug with the history handler when importing objects with ID field set. Resolves a crash when trying to restore backup data
  • Delete comments when Bug is removed

Refactoring & testing

  • Add linter to warn about missing backwards migrations callable in RunPython and fix all pylint offenses. Fixes Issue #1774 (Bryan Mutai)
  • Teach linter to check API for @permissions_required. Fixes Issue #1089
  • Refactor NewExecutionForm to use ModelForm (Rosen Sasov)
  • Refactor UpdateExecutionForm to use ModelForm (Rosen Sasov)
  • Add tests for tcms.bugs.api. Closes Issue #1597 (Mfon Eti-mfon)
  • Add tests for tcms.bugs.views.New. Closes Issue #1598 (Mfon Eti-mfon)
  • Add tests for tcms.rpc.api.testplan. Closes Issue #1627 (@lcmtwn)
  • Add tests for percentage() function References Issue #1602 (Mariyan Garvanski)
  • Add the migrations_order command to help test rollbacks
  • Adjust code for deprecation warnings from Django 3.1
  • Use Python 3 style super() without arguments
  • Update login page to match our new website design

Kiwi TCMS Enterprise v8.6-mt

  • Based on Kiwi TCMS v8.6

For more info see https://github.com/kiwitcms/enterprise/#v86-mt-23-aug-2020

How to upgrade

Backup first! If you are using Kiwi TCMS as a Docker container then:

cd path/containing/docker-compose/
docker-compose down
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
docker exec -it kiwi_web /Kiwi/manage.py migrate

Refer to our documentation for more details!

Happy testing!

Hello testers, we have very important news around how container images for Kiwi TCMS will be distributed! Recently Docker has announced several changes in their storage plans which makes it less viable for our team to continue using their services in full!

Information about official upstream container images

The official upstream Kiwi TCMS container image will continue to be publicly available via Docker Hub as before. In addition all existing and new images will be available via Quay.io. These images are available as

Content is exactly the same between the two registries and you may use the one which you like best!

Warning: after November 1st 2020 older versions will not be available from Docker Hub, only from Quay.io! The reason is that Docker is enforcing a 6 month image retention limit for free plans!

Information about private containers for subscribers

Subscribers enjoy the benefit of having read-only access to tagged versions of the upstream Kiwi TCMS container images as well as access to tagged versions of Kiwi TCMS Enterprise container images! Previously these containers were distributed via Docker Hub and are now available via Quay.io:

  • mrsenko/kiwitcms -> quay.io/kiwitcms/version (version tagged upstream images)
  • mrsenko/kiwitcms-enterprise -> quay.io/kiwitcms/enterprise (enterprise images)

Important: existing subscribers have been notified and granted access to the new repositories on Quay.io. We advise you to update your docker-compose.yml files and start using the new images at your earliest convenience!

Warning: existing subscribers will continue having access to private repositories on Docker Hub until December 31st 2020! Private repositories on Docker Hub will become unavailable after January 31st, 2021 when Docker's new storage plans will be forced into effect!

Why did we chose Quay.io

There are multiple container registry services available! We think Quay.io delivers the best price/quality ratio for our own use-case. In particular we like the billing model around number of private repositories instead the one around the number of users in your organization. That's very similar to how we provide access to Kiwi TCMS via our own subscriptions!

Also it just looks cool if you employ your imagination, especially for non-native English speakers: quay -> qu-ai -> QA!


Thanks for reading and happy testing!

Django plugin for Kiwi TCMS

We're happy to announce the initial release of kiwitcms-django-plugin! This package allows you execute your Django test suite and report the results into Kiwi TCMS! This plugin has been developed by contributor Bryan Mutai as part of our open source bounty program.

To install:

pip install kiwitcms-django-plugin

and then in your settings.py specify:

TEST_RUNNER = 'tcms_django_plugin.TestRunner'

This plugin needs the ~/.tcms.conf configuration file:

[tcms]
url = https://tcms.server/xml-rpc/
username = your-username
password = your-password

Product information and how to report can be controlled via environment variables which are documented here. Example results from the plugin's own test suite are reported in TP-296!

Happy testing!

We are happy to announce that versioned releases of Kiwi TCMS container images are now available to customers with an active enterprise subscription.

For a long time our release policy has been to push only latest version of our upstream kiwitcms/kiwi containers. This upstream channel doesn't carry version tags and receives versioned releases only when there are backwards incompatible database migrations! This proved challenging to administrators who don't upgrade immediately to the latest version as soon as it comes out.

For example this happens in environments where admins use the upstream images as proof of concept and later switch to a production grade installation. Quite often they migrate to the Kiwi TCMS Enterprise containers during the same time.

Starting today versioned releases of Kiwi TCMS (single tenant) will be available via the mrsenko/kiwitcms private repository on Docker Hub. This repository includes tagged versions of the same docker images coming from the kiwitcms/kiwi channel! Access is granted automatically to all existing enterprise subscribers!

Kiwi TCMS 8.4

We're happy to announce Kiwi TCMS version 8.4!

IMPORTANT: this is a medium sized release which includes minor security fixes, many improvements & bug-fixes and translations in several new languages. It is the second release to include contributions via our open source bounty program. You can explore everything at https://public.tenant.kiwitcms.org!

Supported upgrade paths:

5.3   (or older) -> 5.3.1
5.3.1 (or newer) -> 6.0.1
6.0.1            -> 6.1
6.1              -> 6.1.1

Important

Starting from v8.4 all supported bug trackers now feature 1-click bug report integration! Here's an example of how they look like for GitHub and JIRA:


Note

Some external bug trackers like Bugzilla & JIRA provide more flexibility over which fields are required for a new bug report. The current functionality should work for vanilla installations and would fall back to manual bug reporting if it can't create a new bug automatically!

Database

  • Force creation of missing permissions for m2m fields from the tcms.bugs app:
    • bugs.add_bug_tags
    • bugs.change_bug_tags
    • bugs.delete_bug_tags
    • bugs.view_bug_tags
    • bugs.add_bug_executions
    • bugs.change_bug_execution
    • bugs.delete_bug_execution
    • bugs.view_bug_executions

Warning

TCMS admins of existing installations will have to assign these by hand to users/groups who will be allowed to change tags on bugs!

Settings

  • Define the KIWI_DISABLE_BUGTRACKER=yes environment variable if you wish to disable the internal bug tracker. Closes Issue #1370

  • Try harder to restore the original navigation menu instead of leaving bogus menu items. Fixes Issue #991
  • Robot Framework plugin is now GA. Close Issue #984
  • Add LinkReference to TestExecution after creating bug via 1-click. The UI still needs to be refreshed which will be implemented together with the redesign of the TestRun page
  • Update documented signature for API method TestCase.add_component to match current behavior, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61648405/

Refactoring & testing

  • Migrate check-docs-source-in-git to GitHub workflows. Fixes Issue #1552 (@Prome88)
  • Migrate build-for-pypi to GitHub workflows. Fixes Issue #1554 (@lcmtwn)
