Testing functions in CLI
Relay CLI allows creating a test cases for your functions
Relay CLI implements a test command:
relay function test -f spec.yaml
that can run a test. Example spec file:
version: "v1"
filename: spec_func.lua # Location of the function file
driver: lua
tests:
- name: standard request # Test case (you can define multiple test cases)
request:
method: PUT
body: |
{
"user": "john"
}
header:
foo: bar
expect:
request:
bodyModified: true
bodyContains: "some"
bodyEquals: "something new"
# Header
headerModified: true
# Method check
methodEquals: POST
response:
bodyContains: "hello"
And this is an example of the spec_func.lua:
r:SetResponseBody("hello-from-function")
r:SetRequestBody("something new")
r:SetRequestMethod("POST")
r:SetRequestHeader("foo", "bar")
When you execute the test command, relay CLI will:
- 1.Create a function
- 2.Creates a request based on your specified parameters
- 3.Invokes the function
- 4.Compares response to the response defined in the spec
Example output:
relay function test -f spec.yaml
PASS
spec.yaml 0.983s
Now, let's modify the function to return a different response body:
r:SetResponseBody("bye-bye")
r:SetRequestBody("something new")
r:SetRequestMethod("POST")
r:SetRequestHeader("foo", "bar")
Running the test will result in a failure:
relay function test -f spec.yaml
--- FAIL: (0.115s)
Error: "bye-bye" does not contain "hello"
Messages: response.bodyContains does not match
FAIL
spec.yaml 0.570s
version: "v1"
filename: spec_func.lua # Location of the function file
driver: lua
tests:
- name: standard request # Test case (you can define multiple test cases)
request:
method: PUT
body: |
{
"user": "john"
}
header:
foo: bar
expect:
request:
modified: true # Is true when any of the fields get modified
# Body checks
bodyModified: true
bodyContains: "some"
bodyEquals: "something new"
# Header
headerModified: true
headerEquals:
Authorization: "Bearer xyz"
# Method check
methodModified: true
methodEquals: POST
# Request path checks
pathModified: false
pathEquals: /some/path
pathContains: /users
# Query args (e.g. ?foo=bar)
queryModified: true
queryContains: foo=bar
response:
bodyContains: "hello"
