Problem when testing with server.inject

[osukaa]

Hi! I'm trying to test with Lab my reverse proxy. So I make a server.inject but it replies 500, I started to put console.log around the code and discovered that when the code reaches the OnResponse method I have, it returns from the inject and into the callback:

server.inject('route/to/call',function(res){
console.log('this gets called before the Wreck.read');
}

function OnResponse(err,res,request,reply,settings,ttl){
console.log('this is printed before the callback');
Wreck.read(res,null,function(err,payload){
    console.log('this gets called after the inject callback finishes');
}
}

Where do you call reply()? This could be a timeout.

There are more function calls inside the Wreck.read like this:
What I have is a function where I set the reply to a new reply var then do other stuff.

lib.Wreck.read(res, null, function (err, payload) {
      someFunction(para,meters, function(err,newReply){
        if(something){
          anotherFunction(parameter,function(err,somethingHere){
            otherFunctionHere(para,meters,true,function(err,someStuff){
              return newReply;
            });
          });
      });
    });

Once you call reply() the rest will execute async whenever.

I see, I'll have to use the reply().hold(), right?

It all depends what you are trying to do. You should never delay sending back the response if it is ready to be sent. If you want to wait until the post-processing is done for testing, use the request.tail() feature and then instead of waiting for the inject() callback, listen on server.on('tail').

What I'm trying to do is change all the URLs present in the original response to the proxy URL so I can send them. I will try to listen on the server.on('tail') event. Thanks!

Change them before sending the reply?
