Mockery VS argocd-image-updater

Continuous Integration - Testify, sqlmock, Mockery, Github Actions

Mockery is another framework for creating test doubles. It can be used with PHPUnit, phpspec, Behat, or any other testing framework. I find it especially powerful when working with legacy code, due to its support for creating partial mocks or mocking hard dependencies.

This works great if a method is tested that modifies and returns an object; we'll get an instance of that object and we are able to run all sorts of assertions on it. But what if this is not the case. What if we have a situation where a value object is passed as a parameter, some modifications are done and the value object is passed to another object. Something like the middleware from the example earlier. Some testing frameworks like Mockery offer spies to test these situations. When using Prophecy this situation can be handled using Argument::that():

Use the ArgoCD image updater

We already have software agents in GitOps ecosystem that modify the state in git. Ie, the image updater in ArgoCD. It watches the docker registry. When it sees a new image, it updates git on a user's behalf.

If you are using ArgoCD you might be able to use this: https://argocd-image-updater.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

I just found this in my travels, I have only gone so far as reading the introduction but seems to be a fit? https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-image-updater

I've used Keel and more recently ArgoCD Image Updater (Using ArgoCD to manage deployments).

Use the image updater

To answer your question you should promote docker images between environments. There are many ways to do this. Check https://argocd-image-updater.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ if you haven't seen it already.

For ArgoCD there’s argocd-image-updated, https://argocd-image-updater.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
