Proxy Test

A quick way to run smoke tests against code submissions for the transparent proxy problem. The proxy under test needs to expose a /clear url that the tests can hit to clear the cache in between specs.

Install and run unit tests

1. git clone git@github.com:sturnquest/proxy-test.git
2. cd proxy-test
3. npm install
4. mocha test/unit

Smoke test code submissions

Run acceptance tests hitting the target proxy server to verify scenarios. The acceptance test will start a server that records and verifies requests from the proxy. The server listens on port 8080 by default.

1. configure the proxy server to point to http://localhost:8080
2. configure the proxy server params to be: {duration: 2 seconds, max-size: 1024 bytes, max-elements, 4}
3. configure test/acceptance/server_test.js to point to the proxy server e.g. var proxyBaseUrl = "http://localhost:3000";
4. start the proxy server
5. mocha test/acceptance

Manual testing

1. configure the proxy server to point to http://localhost:8080
2. configure the proxy server params to be: {duration: 2 seconds, max-size: 1024 bytes, max-elements, 4}
3. node app/start.js
4. start the proxy server
5. open a browser and hit the proxy server
