Github action fiware connection error

[Bhavdeep13]

Hello

I’m trying to set up my GitHub Actions runner for CI/CD, but I’m encountering connection errors when running unit tests. Here’s a summary of my setup and the issue:

What I’m Doing:

1. Cloning Another Repository – I cloned a separate repository (n5geh.platform) to set up my FIWARE services using Docker.
2. Starting FIWARE Services – I used docker compose up -d in the cloned repo, and I verified that all necessary services (Orion, IoT Agent, QuantumLeap, MongoDB, etc.) are running and healthy (see attached screenshot).
3. Switching Back to My Main Repository – After confirming that the containers are up, I return to my main repo (FiLiP) to execute unit tests.
4. Running Tests Using Unittest & Pytest – I run unit tests (unittest and pytest), but they fail with a ConnectionRefusedError when trying to access FIWARE services.

Error Details:
• The tests are failing with:
ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused

• Logs show errors like:
HTTP <img width="1678" alt="Screenshot 2025-01-30 at 1 07 46 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/543f60f3-61a9-46e9-815d-ef325c2b2fab" /> ConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=1026): Max retries exceeded...
indicating that the test script cannot communicate with Orion and other FIWARE services.

Debugging Steps Taken:
• Verified that containers are up and healthy using docker ps -a.
• Ensured ports are correctly exposed (1026, 4041, 8668, 1883, etc.).
• Checked logs of FIWARE services (docker compose logs), and everything seems fine.
• Ensured that .env variables point to the correct service names inside Docker (e.g., CB_URL=http://orion:1026).
• Used a sleep/wait loop to ensure services are fully up before running tests.
• Tried running tests inside the running orion container (docker exec -it orion bash) to check if internal networking is the issue, but still got connection refused errors.

Possible Issue & Questions:
• Could it be that the GitHub Actions runner is running the tests in a separate network from the Docker containers?
• Do I need to explicitly connect the test runner to the fiware Docker network?
• Has anyone successfully integrated FIWARE with GitHub Actions and can share a working setup?

I’ve attached screenshots showing my container status and error logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
