Paul Gschwendtner 363e1ab775 ci: ensure saucelabs browsers can load karma test page (#35171)
In the past we had connecitivity issues on Saucelabs. Browsers on
mobile devices were not able to properly resolve the `localhost`
hostname through the tunnel. This is because the device resolves
`localhost` or `127.0.0.1` to the actual Saucelabs device, while it
should resolve to the tunnel host machine (in our case the CircleCI VM).

In the past, we simply disabled the failing devices and re-enabled the
devices later. At this point, the Saucelabs team claimed that the
connecitivy/proxy issues were fixed.

Saucelabs seems to have a process for VMs which ensures that requests to
`localhost` / `127.0.0.1` are properly resolved through the tunnel. This
process is not very reliable and can cause tests to fail. Related issues have been
observed/mentioned in the Saucelabs support docs. e.g.

https://support.saucelabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002212447-Unable-to-Reach-Application-on-localhost-for-Tests-Run-on-Safari-8-and-9-and-Edge
https://support.saucelabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/225106887-Safari-and-Internet-Explorer-Won-t-Load-Website-When-Using-Sauce-Connect-on-Localhost

In order to ensure that requests are always resolved through the tunnel,
we add our own domain alias in the CircleCI's hosts file, and enforce that
it is always resolved through the tunnel (using the `--tunnel-domains` SC flag).
Saucelabs devices by default will never resolve this domain/hostname to the
actual local Saucelabs device.

Saucelabs testing with Bazel

Local testing

Setup your SAUCE_USERNAME, SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY & SAUCE_TUNNEL_IDENTIFIER environment variables. These are required. On OSX, also set SAUCE_CONNECT to the path of your sc binary.

To run tests use:

yarn bazel run //tools/saucelabs:sauce_service_setup
yarn bazel test //path/to:saucelabs_test_target_1 --config=saucelabs [--config=ivy]
yarn bazel test //path/to:saucelabs_test_target_2 --config=saucelabs [--config=ivy]

or if the tests are combined into a test suite:

yarn bazel run //tools/saucelabs:sauce_service_setup
yarn bazel test //path/to:saucelabs_test_suite --config=saucelabs [--config=ivy]

To see the test output while the tests are running as these are long tests, add the --test_output=streamed option. Note, this option will also prevent bazel from using the test cache and will force the test to run.

The //tools/saucelabs:sauce_service_setup target does not start the Sauce Connect proxy but it does start process which will that then listens for the start signal from the service manager script. This signal is sent by the karma wrapper script //tools/saucelabs:karma-saucelabs which calls ./tools/saucelabs/sauce-service.sh start. This is necessary as the Sauce Connect Proxy process must be started outside of bazel test as Bazel will automatically kill any processes spwaned during a test when that tests completes, which would prevent the tunnel from being shared by multiple tests.

Under the hood

The karma_web_test rule is to test with saucelabs with a modified karma attribute set to //tools/saucelabs:karma-saucelabs. This runs the /tools/saucelabs/karma-saucelabs.js wrapper script which configures the saucelabs environment and starts Sauce Connect before running karma.

For example,

karma_web_test(
    name = "saucelabs_core_acceptance_tests",
    timeout = "long",
    karma = "//tools/saucelabs:karma-saucelabs",
    tags = [
        "manual",
        "no-remote-exec",
    ],
    deps = [
        "//packages/core/test/acceptance:acceptance_lib",
    ],
)

These saucelabs targets must be tagged no-remote-exec as they cannot be executed remotely since they require a local Sauce Connect process. They should also be tagged manual so they are not automatically tested with //....
