Fix broken anchor links in documentation (#509)
This PR includes various fixes to anchor links used in the documentation.

There are certain characters GitHub doesn't support for the use of anchor links in markdown files. The general rule I've found is to only use a-z or A-Z characters in anchor links. All other characters should be removed.

For example, consider the section title How do I connect to the Mailhog simulated server?. The valid GitHub anchor link for this section is #how-do-i-connect-to-the-mailhog-simulated-server. Notice no ?.

Closes #494

Testing & Local Development

Test suite

To execute the basic unit tests, run the following from the root of the repository:

MYSQL_TEST=1 REDIS_TEST=1 make test

It is a good idea to run make test before submitting a Pull Request.

Go unit tests

To run all Go unit tests, run the following:

make test-go

Go linters

To run all Go linters and static analyzers, run the following:

make lint-go

Javascript unit tests

To run all JS unit tests, run the following:

make test-js

or

yarn test

Javascript linters

To run all JS linters and static analyzers, run the following:

make lint-js

or

yarn lint

MySQL tests

To run MySQL integration tests set environment variables as follows:

MYSQL_TEST=1 make test-go

Redis tests

To run Redis integration tests set environment variables as follows:

REDIS_TEST=1 make test-go

Email tests

To run email related integration tests using MailHog set environment as follows:

MAIL_TEST=1 make test-go

Viewing test coverage

When you run make test or make test-go from the root of the repository, test coverage reports are generated in every subpackage. For example, the server subpackage will have a coverage report generated in ./server/server.cover

To explore a test coverage report on a line-by-line basis in the browser, run the following:

# substitute ./datastore/datastore.cover, etc
go tool cover -html=./server/server.cover

To view test a test coverage report in a terminal, run the following:

# substitute ./datastore/datastore.cover, etc
go tool cover -func=./server/server.cover

End-to-end tests

E2E tests are run using Docker and Cypress.

Preparation

Make sure dependencies are up to date and the Fleet binaries are built locally.

make e2e-reset-db
make e2e-serve

This will start a local Fleet server connected to the E2E database. Leave this server running for the duration of end-to-end testing.

make e2e-setup

This will initialize the E2E instance with a user.

Run tests

Tests can be run in interactive mode, or from the command line.

Interactive

yarn cypress open

Use the graphical UI controls to run and view tests.

Command line

yarn cypress run

Tests will run automatically and results are reported to the shell.

Email

Manually testing email with MailHog

To intercept sent emails while running a Fleet development environment, make sure that you've set the SMTP address to localhost:1025 and leave the username and password blank. Then, visit http://localhost:8025 in a web browser to view the MailHog UI.

When Fleet sends emails, the contents of the messages are available in the MailHog UI.

Database Backup/Restore

In the course of development (particularly when crafting database migrations), it may be useful to backup and restore the MySQL database. This can be achieved with the following commands:

Backup:

./tools/backup_db/backup.sh

The database dump is stored in backup.sql.gz.

Restore:

./tools/backup_db/restore.sh

Note that a "restore" will replace the state of the development database with the state from the backup.
