How to test the kubernetes backend

Create a Kubernetes cluster

1. Install kind, e.g install kind via Homebrew
2. Provision a new cluster with the command kind create cluster --name=terraform
   • You can check for the cluster using kind get clusters

Set up environment variables for testing

Creating the cluster in the steps above should have created and/or added an entry into the ~/.kube/config configuration file.

Create the KUBE_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to help the backend locate that file:

export KUBE_CONFIG_PATH=~/.kube/config

Run the tests!

The setup above should be sufficient for running the tests. Make sure your kind cluster exists and is running whenever you run the tests.
