Group Web Service tester

These are some Json representation tests we can run when deploying/migrating.

Settings and groups setup

• Copy settings.tmpl to settings.py and edit that for your local configuration.
• You must create the base group, as identified in your settings.py, and permit your certificate to be a subgroup creator. Call it "u_<yournetid>_test".
• You must identify your client and ca certs.
• The membership tests use real ids.

Testing

• Make a virtual env and install what's in requirements.txt. The latest version of python I've been able to run these tests with is 3.8.14, as some newer version introduced some breaking changes.
  $ pyenv local 3.8.14
$ virtualenv -p 3.8.14 env
$ . ./env/bin/activate
$ pip install `cat requirements.txt`
$ nosetests .
  ... or
  $ nosetests --with-timer .
  to get timing information for each test run
• The tests should clean up after themselves.

Note that some of the tests rely on ldap membership synchronizing. That requires the ldap_provisioner running on the target service.

Style

• Use: pycodestyle --max-line-length=150 *.py test
