local:testing

This skill helps you test Rossoctl platform locally using Kind (Kubernetes in Docker).

Overview

The local-testing/ directory contains scripts that mirror the GitHub Actions CI workflow, allowing you to:

• Deploy the full Rossoctl platform locally
• Run E2E tests with Ollama LLM integration
• Access the Rossoctl UI and services
• Debug agent and tool deployments

Prerequisites

Ensure you have:

• Docker Desktop/Rancher Desktop/Podman (12GB RAM, 4 cores minimum)
• Kind, kubectl, helm installed
• Python 3.11+ with uv
• jq for JSON parsing

Available Scripts

1. Cleanup Cluster

Wipes the existing Kind cluster completely:

./local-testing/cleanup-cluster.sh

Use this when you want a fresh start or cluster is in a bad state.

2. Deploy Platform

Deploys the full Rossoctl platform (takes ~15-20 minutes):

./local-testing/deploy-platform.sh

This script:

• Creates Kind cluster via bash installer
• Deploys all platform components (Keycloak, PostgreSQL, Istio, SPIRE)
• Installs Ollama and pulls qwen2.5:0.5b model
• Deploys weather agent and tool

3. Run E2E Tests

Runs the E2E test suite:

./local-testing/run-e2e-tests.sh

Validates:

• Platform deployment health
• Agent conversation via A2A protocol
• Ollama LLM integration
• MCP tool invocation

4. Access UI

Shows access information and port-forward commands:

./local-testing/access-ui.sh

Then run the suggested command:

kubectl port-forward -n rossoctl-system svc/http-istio 8080:80

Visit: http://rossoctl-ui.localtest.me:8080

Typical Workflow

Full Redeploy and Test

# 1. Clean up existing cluster
./local-testing/cleanup-cluster.sh

# 2. Deploy platform (wait ~15-20 minutes)
./local-testing/deploy-platform.sh

# 3. Run E2E tests
./local-testing/run-e2e-tests.sh

# 4. Access UI
./local-testing/access-ui.sh

Quick Test Iteration

If platform is already deployed and you just want to rerun tests:

./local-testing/run-e2e-tests.sh

Development Cycle

1. Make code changes
2. Run ./local-testing/deploy-platform.sh to redeploy
3. Run ./local-testing/run-e2e-tests.sh to validate
4. Use ./local-testing/access-ui.sh to get UI access

Debugging Commands

View Logs

# Agent logs
kubectl logs -n team1 deployment/weather-service --tail=100 -f

# Tool logs
kubectl logs -n team1 deployment/weather-tool --tail=100 -f

# Platform operator
kubectl logs -n rossoctl-system deployment/rossoctl-platform-operator --tail=100 -f

Check Pod Status

# All pods
kubectl get pods -A

# Specific namespace
kubectl get all -n team1
kubectl get all -n rossoctl-system

View Events

# Recent events in team1 namespace
kubectl get events -n team1 --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' | tail -30

# All events
kubectl get events -A --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' | tail -50

Ollama Status

# Check if running
ps aux | grep ollama

# Check models
ollama list

# Test directly
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags

Troubleshooting

Platform Not Ready

If deployment times out or components aren't ready:

# Check pod status
kubectl get pods -A

# Check recent events
kubectl get events -A --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' | tail -50

# Retry deployment
./local-testing/cleanup-cluster.sh
./local-testing/deploy-platform.sh

Test Failures

If E2E tests fail:

1. Check agent logs: kubectl logs -n team1 deployment/weather-service --tail=100
2. Check tool logs: kubectl logs -n team1 deployment/weather-tool --tail=100
3. Verify Ollama is running: ps aux | grep ollama
4. Check Ollama has model: ollama list | grep qwen2.5

UI Access Issues

If UI doesn't load:

1. Verify pod is running: kubectl get pods -n rossoctl-system -l app=rossoctl-ui
2. Check Istio gateway: kubectl get pods -n rossoctl-system -l app=http-istio
3. Restart port-forward: kubectl port-forward -n rossoctl-system svc/http-istio 8080:80

Notes

• These scripts are for local development only (not committed to repo)
• Scripts are in .gitignore to avoid accidental commits
• Deployment uses same installer as CI
• Cluster name is rossoctl (matches CI workflow)
• Secrets used are test values (not production)

Files Location

All scripts are in: local-testing/

• cleanup-cluster.sh - Wipe cluster
• deploy-platform.sh - Deploy platform
• run-e2e-tests.sh - Run tests
• access-ui.sh - Access information
• README.md - Full documentation
