Matthew Huxtable ff8ce26cee Provider support for DS records as children only (#765)
This functionality is required by the GCLOUD provider, which supports
recordsets of type DS but only for child records of the zone, to enable
further delegation. It does not support them at the apex of the zone (@)
because Google Cloud DNS is not itself a registrar which needs to model
this information.

A related change (14ff68b151, #760) was
previously introduced to enable DS support in Google, which broke
integration tests with this provider.

To cleanly support this, we introduce a new provider capability
CanUseDSForChildren and appropriate integration tests. Further, it is no
longer possible to verify a provider has the proper capabilities for a
zone simply by existence of particular records; we adapt the capability
checks to enable inspection of the individual recordsets where this is
required.

Closes #762

Integration Tests

This is a simple framework for testing dns providers by making real requests.

There is a sequence of changes that are defined in the test file that are run against your chosen provider.

For each step, it will run the config once and expect changes. It will run it again and expect no changes. This should give us much higher confidence that providers will work in real life.

Configuration

providers.json should have an object for each provider type under test. This is identical to the json expected in creds.json for dnscontrol, except it also has a "domain" field specified for the domain to test. The domain does not even need to be registered for most providers. Note that providers.json expects environment variables to be specified with the relevant info.

Running a test

  1. Define all environment variables expected for the provider you wish to run. I setup a local .env file with the appropriate values and use zoo to run my commands.
  2. run go test -v -provider $NAME where $NAME is the name of the provider you wish to run.

Example:

$ egrep R53 providers.json 
    "KeyId": "$R53_KEY_ID",
    "SecretKey": "$R53_KEY",
    "domain": "$R53_DOMAIN"
$ export R53_KEY_ID="redacted"
$ export R53_KEY="also redacted"
$ export R53_DOMAIN="testdomain.tld"
$ go test -v -verbose -provider ROUTE53

WARNING: The records in the test domain will be deleted. Only use a domain that is not used in production. Some providers have a way to run tests on domains that aren't registered (often a test environment or a side-effect of the company not being a registrar). In other cases we use a domain we squat on, or we register a domain called dnscontrol-$provider.com just for testing.

ProTip: If you run these tests frequently (and we hope you do), you should create a script that you can source to set these variables. Be careful not to check this script into Git since it contains credentials.
