Dori

Converts test scripts written in any language to URLs that can be monitored.

Usage

To set up a monitoring server

bin/server --key=sup3rs3cr3t --path=server_root_dir

To upload tests

bin/uploader --key=sup3rs3cr3t --url=http://my.host.name/test/my_test_suite --tests=my_test_suite

To run tests

curl http://my.host.name/test/my_test_suite/some_test

Quick start

Dori is a monitoring server that is able to run tests that you provide and return their output over http.

All you need to do, is write a script or some other executable that uses its exit code to indicate whether the test succeeded or failed. The protocol is simple:

• Exit code 0: test ok.
• Exit code 1: test not ok.

Standard out and standard error is provided as information to the client, but does not have any effect on the status of the test.

When you've written your test, you need to upload it to Dori, which is done using a small upload script. The upload script uses http, so you can upload from any place that can otherwise reach Dori. To let Dori know how to run the test, you need to provide a file named test.manifest. This is a JSON file containing an object with the following keys:

• install: (object)
  • command: command to run when installing test
  • args: parameters to provide to install command
• tests: (array of objects)
  • name: the relative url path that the test will get.
  • command: the command to run when running the test.
  • parameters: what parameters to provide to the test command.

A short example

my-suite/test.manifest:

{
  "install": {
    "command": "npm",
    "args": ["install"]
  },
  "tests": [
    {
      "name": "my-simple-test",
      "command": "npm",
      "parameters": ["run"]
    }
  ]
}

my-suite/package.json:

{
  "name": "simple-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Demo suite for Dori",
  "main": "my.simple.test.js",
}

my-suite/my.simple.test.js:

'use strict';

console.log('Hello world. This test returns ok.');
process.exit(0);

Lets say we uploaded like this:

bin/uploader --key=some-s3cr3t-key --url=http://my.local.server/my-suite my-suite

You should now be able to run the test my.simple.test.js like this:

curl http://my.local.server/my-suite/simple-test

The protocol is as follows:

• HTTP Status 200: the test was run and returned ok.
• HTTP Status 525: the test was run and returned not ok.
• Any other status code: running the test failed.

Developing

Everything is done using test driven development. Patches are only accepted if they are accompanied by additional tests that demonstrate that they work as expected.

If you find a bug, I'd greatly appreciate if you can provide a failing test as well.
