FakeNGX

FakeNGX is an initial attempt to create a library for testing Lua scripts embedded into Nginx, via HttpLuaModule

Features

  • Support for basic constants: ngx.HTTP_OK, etc
  • Support for core functions: ngx.time(...), ngx.encode_args(...), etc
  • Sub-request stubbing, e.g. ngx.location.capture()
  • Fully tested with Telescope

Supported functions (currently)

  • ngx.print()
  • ngx.say()
  • ngx.log()
  • ngx.time()
  • ngx.now()
  • ngx.exit()
  • ngx.escape_uri()
  • ngx.unescape_uri()
  • ngx.encode_args()
  • ngx.crc32_short()
  • ngx.location.capture()

Usage Example

This is an example for how to test your scripts with FakeNGX. Imagine this is your Nginx configuration:

-- nginx.conf
location /internal {
  internal;
  content_by_lua 'ngx.print("OK")';
}

location /main {
  content_by_lua_file 'main.lua';
}

It's good practice to keep file loaded by content_by_lua_file at a minimum and place all processing logic into external modules. This allows lua_code_cache to work its magic and simplifies your testing. For example:

-- main.lua
local my_module = require 'my_module'
my_module.run()

Then, place all the controller code into separate module(s):

-- my_module.lua
module("my_module", package.seeall)

local function respond()
  local res = ngx.location.capture("/internal", { method = ngx.HTTP_POST })

  if res.status == ngx.HTTP_OK then
    ngx.print(res.body)
  else
    ngx.print("ERR")
    ngx.exit(500)
  end
end

function run()
  if ngx.var.http_authentication == "TOKEN"
    respond()
  else
    ngx.exit(403)
  end
end

return my_module

In your tests e.g. with Telescope:

fakengx   = require 'fakengx'
my_module = require 'my_module'

context('my_module', function()

  before(function()
    ngx = fakengx.new() -- create a fresh ngx on each request context
  end)

  test('run unauthenticated', function()
    my_module.run()
    assert_equal(ngx._body, '')   -- No output
    assert_equal(ngx._exit, 403)  -- Exited with 403
    assert_equal(ngx.status, 403) -- Response status
  end)

  test('run success', function()
    ngx.location.stub('/internal', {}, { body = "OK" })
    ngx.var['http_authentication' = "TOKEN"
    my_module.run()
    assert_equal(ngx._body, 'OK') -- Written "OK"
    assert_nil(ngx._exit)         -- No explicit exit
    assert_equal(ngx.status, 200) -- Response status
  end)

  test('run failure', function()
    ngx.location.stub('/internal', {}, { status = 302 })
    my_module.run()
    assert_equal(ngx._body, 'ERR')
    assert_equal(ngx._exit, 500)
    assert_equal(ngx.status, 500)
  end)

end)

Prerequsites

FakeNGX relies on the luasocket and the bitop libraries.

To install (on Debian, Ubuntu, etc):

sudo apt-get install lua5.1 luarocks liblua5.1-socket2 liblua5.1-bitop0 liblua5.1-md5-0

Contributing

You need to install telescope, via LuaRocks:

sudo luarocks install telescope

And run:

tsc -f spec/*_spec.lua
