What it does

Update the BDD test container image when its dependencies or runtime change. Determines version bump (major vs minor vs patch), rebuilds the Docker image, pushes to GitLab registry, and updates the image tag in start_test.sh. Test source (tests/, features/, scripts/, data/, conftest.py) is bind-mounted from the host repo at runtime, so pure test code changes do NOT require a container rebuild. Use only when files that the container bakes in are modified: Dockerfile, docker-entrypoint.sh, pyproject.toml, poetry.lock.

BDD Test Container Update

The BDD test container runs bdd_test from <INTERNAL_REGISTRY>/bdd_tests:<TAG>. Since the CI runner bind-mounts the host repo's test source into /app/, the image only needs to be rebuilt when the things it bakes in change.

When to rebuild

Rebuild required -- files baked into the image:

  • test/bdd_tests/Dockerfile
  • test/bdd_tests/docker-entrypoint.sh
  • test/bdd_tests/pyproject.toml (any change -- deps or pytest config)
  • test/bdd_tests/poetry.lock
  • test/bdd_tests/test_videos/* (sample clips baked to /app/test_videos)

Note on test_videos/: the clip binaries are gitignored -- they are NOT in the repo, only baked into the published image. The pushed image is the source of truth. Before rebuilding you must repopulate test/bdd_tests/test_videos/ from the current published image (or a backup); see test/bdd_tests/test_videos/README.md. A rebuild from a clean checkout without these files would bake an empty /app/test_videos.

Rebuild NOT required -- bind-mounted at runtime by cicd_files/docker-compose-test/start_test.sh:

  • test/bdd_tests/tests/**
  • test/bdd_tests/features/**
  • test/bdd_tests/scripts/**
  • test/bdd_tests/data/**
  • test/bdd_tests/conftest.py
  • test/bdd_tests/config.json

If a change touches only files in the second list, stop here -- no container work is needed and start_test.sh is unchanged.

1. Identify the current image tag

The image tag lives in cicd_files/docker-compose-test/start_test.sh inside the update_docker_compose() function, on the line that sets the test service image:

image: <INTERNAL_REGISTRY>/bdd_tests:v<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>_x86

Extract the current MAJOR, MINOR, and PATCH numbers.

2. Determine version bump

Classify the changes made under test/bdd_tests/:
