Build Status

Use rspec to write tests for your akamai configuration.

How to use

Setup

Add 'akamai-rspec' to your Gemfile.

In your spec-helper.rb, configure the Akamai domain:

AkamaiRSpec::Request.prod_domain = "www.example.com.edgesuite.net"

or

AkamaiRSpec::Request.network = "staging" # Defaults to prod network
AkamaiRSpec::Request.stg_domain = "www.example.com.edgesuite-staging.net"

then include the matchers in your specs:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  include AkamaiRSpec::Matchers
end

Finally, use the matchers from within your specs.

Matchers

Caching

be_cacheable AKA be_cachable, be_cached
expect("http://example.org/").to be_cacheable

Requests the resource repeatedly and checks that the 'x-cache' header says 'HIT'.

Previous versions used X-Check-Cacheable, but this has some awkward/misleading edge cases. Sources: akamai forums and docs (requires login; see p22).

have_no_cache_set
expect(url).to have_no_cache_set

Check that the header cache-control is set to no-cache

be_tier_distributed
expect(url).to be_tier_distributed

Forces a cache miss by adding a query string to your URL, then checks that the 'x_cache_remote' header is set (indicating that the request was bounced between akamai servers).

honour_origin_cache_headers
expect(url).to honour_origin_cache_headers origin

Check that akamai and origin cache headers correspond, and takes in to account expected differences, e.g. akamai removing must-revalidate.

Redirects

Chaining

Redirection matchers support chaining as follows:

expect(insecure_url).to redirect_http_to_https.then(be_successful)

This will expect a redirect from http to https and then check that the HTTPS response has a 2xx status code.

Redirection matchers also support custom headers (e.g. for testing m-site redirects): expect(desktop_url).to be_temporarily_redirected_to(mobile_url, headers: {user_agent: '...'})

be_permanently_redirected_to
expect(old).to be_permanently_redirected_to(new)

Requires the response code to be 301, and redirect to new

be_temporarily_redirected_to

The same as be_permanently_redirected_to, except expecting a 302

redirect_http_to_https
expect(url).to redirect_http_to_https(with: 302)

Checks that requests for this URL via HTTP are redirected to the same URL via HTTPS.

This does what you would expect whether the supplied URL is HTTP or HTTPS.

redirect_https_to_http
expect(url).to redirect_https_to_http(with: 302)

Checks that requests for this URL via HTTPS are redirected to the same URL via HTTP.

This does what you would expect whether the supplied URL is HTTP or HTTPS.

redirect_to_remove_trailing_slash
expect(url).to redirect_to_remove_trailing_slash(with: 302)

Checks that requests for this URL with a trailing slash are redirected to the same URL without a trailing slash

This does what you would expect whether the supplied URL has a trailing slash or not.

redirect_to_add_trailing_slash
expect(url).to redirect_to_add_trailing_slash(with: 302)

Checks that requests for this URL without a trailing slash are redirected to the same URL with a trailing slash

This does what you would expect whether the supplied URL has a trailing slash or not.

General HTTP

be_successful
expect(url).to be_successful

expect a response code of 200-299. Override the valid response codes with be_successful(response_codes: 200..204)

respond_with_headers
expect(url).to respond_with_headers(cache_control: "no-cache")

Checks that the given headers are present in an HTTP response.

be_verifiably_secure
expect(url).to be_verifiably_secure

The SSL cert can be verified by the default configuration of openssl.

Previously also checked that HTTP is unavailable, or redirects to HTTPS. If you still want to check HTTP redirects, use should redirect_http_to_https

be_gzipped
expect(url).to be_gzipped

Expect the response to be gzipped.

have_cookie
expect(url).to have_cookie cookie

Expect the url to contain the specified cookie

be_forbidden
expect(url).to be_forbidden

Expect the url to response with 403

Origin configuration

be_served_from_origin
expect(url).to be_served_from_origin origin

'x_cache_key' header to include origin url

have_cp_code
expect(url).to have_cp_code(cp_code)
  • Check that cache key contains Content Provider Code
be_forwarded_to_path
expect("example.com/foo").to be_forwarded_to_path("/foo")

Aliases: be_forwarded_to_index

Expect response to have an x-akamai-session-info header containing AKA_PM_FWD_URL; value="/foo"

This means that the request is being passed back to the origin with a path of "/foo"
