I wrote a functions that save data into redis database server. The challenge is that I want to test these functions and do not know how to test it.
I just start somehow with
Functions
package sessrage
/*
* Save data into redis database. In the common case,
* the data will be only valid during a request. Use
* hash datatype in redis.
*/
import (
"../context"
"github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis"
"net/http"
)
const (
protocol string = "tcp"
port string = ":6379"
)
func connectAndCloseRedis(connectCall func(con redis.Conn)) {
c, err := redis.Dial("tcp", ":6379")
defer c.Close()
if err != nil {
panic(err.Error())
}
connectCall(c)
}
func PostSessionData(r *http.Request, key, value string) {
go connectAndCloseRedis(func(con redis.Conn) {
sessionId := context.Get(r, context.JwtId).(string)
con.Do("HMSET", sessionId, key, value)
})
}
func GetSessionData(r *http.Request, key string) interface{} {
var result interface{}
sessionId := context.Get(r, context.JwtId).(string)
reply, _ := redis.Values(c.Do("HMGET", sessionId, key))
redis.Scan(reply, &result)
return result
}
and the test file
package sessrage
import (
//"fmt"
"../context"
. "github.com/smartystreets/goconvey/convey"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
"testing"
"time"
)
var server *httptest.Server
var glrw http.ResponseWriter
var glr *http.Request
func init() {
server = httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
glrw = rw
glr = r
context.Set(glr, context.JwtId, "TestId")
}))
}
func TestPostAndGetSession(t *testing.T) {
Convey("POST and GET data on redis.", t, func() {
PostSessionData(glr, "key1", "value1")
time.Sleep(time.Second * 10)
v := GetSessionData(glr, "key1")
assert.Equal(t, "value1", v)
})
}
when I try to run the test I've got
an't load package: ......./sessrage.go:10:2: local import "../context" in non-local package
and the context package looks like
package context
import (
"github.com/gorilla/context"
"net/http"
)
type contextKey int
const (
LanguageId contextKey = iota
JwtId
)
func Get(r *http.Request, key interface{}) interface{} {
return context.Get(r, key)
}
func Set(r *http.Request, key, val interface{}) {
context.Set(r, key, val)
}
What do I wrong?
That is the first time, I am testing code in conjunction with http. It seems to be very hard to test.
There are a few issues:
The call to sessionId := context.Get(r, context.JwtId).(string) in the PostSessionData anonymous function can fail if the mux or something higher in the call chain clears the Gorilla context before the goroutine runs. Do this instead:
func PostSessionData(r *http.Request, key, value string) {
c := pool.Get()
defer c.Close()
sessionId := context.Get(r, context.JwtId).(string)
if err := c.Do("HMSET", sessionId, key, value); err != nil {
// handle error
}
}
