Running Test Suites

To run your Tests Suites, pass the testsuites run command with the test name to your kubectl testkube plugin. Test Suites are started asynchronously by default.

testkube run testsuite test-example
Expected output:
Name: test-example.fairly-humble-tick
Status: running

  STATUSES | STEP | IDS | ERRORS
+----------+------+-----+-------+



Use the following command to get test suite  execution details:
$ kubectl testkube get tse 61e1136165e59a3183465125


Use the following command to get test suite execution details:
$ kubectl testkube watch tse 61e1136165e59a3183465125

After the test is started, you can check the current status of the test with tests execution EXECUTION_ID.

Running Testsuites Synchronously​

You can start a testsuite synchronously by passing the -f flag (like --follow) to your command:

testkube run testsuite test-example -f
Expected output:
