We don t have as nice a story as we d like yet The long term tracking issue is which tracks being able to write tests inside the source language itself i e using mocha or something to write tests in JS which let you control deploying a stack asking questions about the resources deployed etc What we use today is we have a small framework written in golang that can use `go test` to drive the lifecycle of a stack You can see some examples here The core of the framework is here and basically it handles running a bunch of invocations of `pulumi` for a given program to create a stack deploy it and then destroy it There are hooks such that you can preform extra validation after the stack has been deployed for example hitting a HTTP endpoint it deploys to ensure it actually gives you the correct response

This is what we ve been using today since it is just running `pulumi` behind the scenes your infrastructure can be written in any language but the test itself has to be written in golang and invoked with `go test`

Would love to know if something like the above fits with the kind of testing you want to do I expect what we will end up doing in 2287 will look similar but we ll probably also expose the more primitive pulumi operations as well so you can explicitly control the lifecycle if you want but by default we ll probably focus on making start from an empty stack run a program to update it run some custom user specified validation and then destroy the stack

thanks for all the information I am not a golang coder so that will present some opportunities to read through
