Description: # What is iact3?
        
        Iact3(IaC Template Testing Tool) is a tool that tests [Terraform](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform) and [Alibaba Cloud ROS(Resource Orchestration Service)](https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/resource-orchestration-service) templates. It deploys your template in multiple Alibaba Cloud Regions and generates a report for each region via a simple configuration file.  
        
        # Installation
        
        `pip install alibabacloud-ros-iact3`
        
        # Requirements
        Python 3.7+
        
        The iact3 is run on requires access to an Alibaba Cloud account, this can be done by any of the following mechanisms:
        1. AliyunCli default configuration file (`~/.aliyun/config.json`)
        2. Environment variables (`ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET`)
        3. The ini configuration file defined by the environment variable ALIBABA_CLOUD_CREDENTIALS_FILE
        4. Alibaba Cloud SDK Credentials default configuration file (`~/.alibabacloud/credentials.ini` or `~/.aliyun/credentials.ini`)
        
        # Usage
        
        Iact3 adopts a similar cli command structure to `git` with a `iact3 command subcommand --flag` style. The cli is also designed to be the simplest if run from the root of a project. Let's have a look at equivalent command to run a test:
        
        cd into the project root and type test run
        ```shell
        cd ./demo
        iact3 test run
        ```
        
        or run it from anywhere by providing the path to the project root
        ```shell
        iact3 test run --project-path ./demo
        ```
        
        
        ## Cli Command
        The cli is self documenting by using `--help` or `-h`, the most common command is `iact3 test`
        
        ```
        iact3 test -h
        usage: iact3 [args] test [args] [subcommand] [args] 
        
        Performs functional tests on IaC templates.
        
        options:
          -h, --help  show this help message and exit
        
        subcommands:
          clean - Manually clean up the stacks which were created by iact3
          list - List stacks which were created by iact3 for all regions
          params - Generate pseudo parameters
          run - tests whether IaC templates are able to successfully launch
        ```
        
        ```
        iact3 test run -h
        usage: iact3 [args] <command> [args] run [args] 
        
        tests whether IaC templates are able to successfully launch
        
        options:
          -h, --help            show this help message and exit
          -t TEMPLATE, --template TEMPLATE
                                path to a template
          -c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE
                                path to a config file
          -o OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, --output-directory OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
                                path to an output directory
          -r REGIONS, --regions REGIONS
                                comma separated list of regions to test in
          --test-names TEST_NAMES
                                comma separated list of tests to run
          --no-delete           don't delete stacks after test is complete
          --project-path PROJECT_PATH
                                root path of the project relative to config file,
                                template file and output file
          --keep-failed         do not delete failed stacks
          --dont-wait-for-delete
                                exits immediately after calling delete stack
          -g, --generate-parameters
                                generate pseudo parameters
        ```
        
        ## Configuration files
        There are 2 config files which can be used to set behaviors.
        
        1. Global config file, located in `~/.iact3.yml`
        2. Project config file, located in `<PROJECT_ROOT>/.iact3.yml`
        
        Each configuration file supports three-tier configuration, which includes `general`, `project` and `tests`, and `tests` is required.
        
        ### general configuration item
        
        - `auth` Aliyun authentication section.
        ```json
        {
          "name": "default", 
          "location": "~/.aliyun/config.json"
        }
        ```
        
        - `oss_config` Oss bucket configuration, include BucketName, BucketRegion and etc.
        ```json
        {
          "bucket_name": "",
          "bucket_region": "",
          "object_prefix": "",
          "callback_params": {
            "callback_url": "",
            "callback_host": "",
            "callback_body": "",
            "callback_body_type": "",
            "callback_var_params": ""
          }
        }
        ```
        
        - `parameters` Parameter key-values to pass to template.
        ```json
        {
          "vpc_id": "",
          "vsw_id": ""
        }
        ```
        
        ### project configuration item
        
        - `name` Project Name
        - `regions` List of aliyun regions.
        - `parameters` Parameter key-values to pass to template.
        - `tags` Tags
        - `role_name` Role name
        - `template_config` Template config
        ```json
        {
          "template_location": "myTemplate/",
          "template_url": "oss://xxx",
          "template_body": "",
          "template_id": "",
          "template_version": ""
        }
        ```
        
        ### tests configuration item
        
        - `name` Project Name
        - `regions` List of aliyun regions.
        - `parameters` Parameter key-values to pass to template.
        - `tags` Tags
        - `role_name` Role name
        - `template_config` Template config
        ```json
        {
          "template_location": "myTemplate/",
          "template_url": "oss://xxx",
          "template_body": "",
          "template_id": "",
          "template_version": ""
        }
        ```
        
        ## Precedence
        
        Except the parameters section, more specific config with the same key takes precedence.
        
        > The rationale behind having parameters function this way is so that values can be overridden at a system level outside a project, that is likely committed to source control. parameters that define account specific things like VPC details, Key Pairs, or secrets like API keys can be defined per host outside of source control. 
        
        For example, consider this global config in `~/.iact3.yml`
        
        ```yaml
        general:
          oss_config: 
            bucket_name: global-bucket
          parameters:
            KeyPair: my-global-ecs-key-pair
        ```
        
        and this project config
        ```yaml
        project:
          name: my-project
          regions:
            - cn-hangzhou
          oss_config:
            bucket_name: project-bucket
        tests:
          default:
            template_config:
              template_url: "oss://xxx"
            regions:
              - cn-beijing
            parameters:
              KeyPair: my-test-ecs-key-pair
        ```
        Would result in this effective test configuration:
        
        ```yaml
        tests:
          default:
            template_config:
              template_url: "oss://xxx"
            regions:
              - cn-beijing
            oss_config:
              bucket_name: project-bucket
            parameters:
              KeyPair: my-test-ecs-key-pair
        ```
        
        Notice that `bucket_name` and `regions` took the most specific value and `KeyPair` the most general.
        
        ## Pseudo Parameters
        
        You can automatically get the available parameters through the `$[iact3-auto]` pseudo-parameter if the parameter is the following 2 cases
        1. The resource attribute corresponding to the parameter supports the ROS [GetTemplateParameterConstraints](https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/resource-orchestration-service/latest/gettemplateparameterconstraints) interface.
        2. Parameters whose name itself has a specific meaning. For example, `VpcId` means the id of virtual private cloud and `$[iact3-auto]` will automatically obtain a vpcId randomly in the current region of the current account. Currently supported are as follows:
           1. Satisfying the regularity `r"(\w*)vpc(_|)id(_|)(\d*)"` will automatically and randomly obtain the VpcId in the current region.
           2. Satisfying the regularity `r"(\w*)v(_|)switch(_|)id(_|)(\d*)"` will automatically and randomly obtain the VswitchId in the current region. If there is a parameter whose name satisfies the regularity `r"(\w*)zone(_|)id(_|)(\d*)"`, it will query the VswitchId of the corresponding availability zone
           3. Satisfying the regularity `r"(\w*)security(_|)group(_id|id)(_|)(\d*)"` will automatically and randomly obtain the SecurityGroupId in the current region.
           4. Satisfying the regularity `r"(\w*)name(_|)(\d*)"` will automatically generate a random string starting with `iact3-`.
           5. Satisfying the regularity `r"(\w*)password(_|)(\d*)"` will automatically generate a password.
           6. Satisfying the regularity `r"(\w*)uuid(_|)(\d*)"` will automatically generate an uuid.
