hm is there some testmode on some servers

so that i can run it, connect with a client

and replay some test

actually i would not need a full server for that, just a counter part that sends defined stanzas in a specified order

its probably not hard to write that myself i guess, but thought i ask befor i put in any work

lovetox, smack's unit test have a "dummy" connection which you can feed some protocol information, so that it will send this if you send that, and so on. but I am not aware of a generic framework for this

would potentially be nice to have, but then again, at some point you are doing integration tests and could as well fire up a full featured server like openfire, prosody or ejabberd

yeah but the server would need some interface where i can execute these testcases

but for unit tests it is certainly nice, but you usually do not want to leave your native programming environment when running units tests, so a generic impl for that is probably not that sensible

lovetox, loopback interface? or of what kind of interface are we talking about?

hmm we could start a joint effort for docker containers with pre-configured xmpp servers to run integration tests against

no i imagined something like, i send a custom element after streamstart <testcase name="testcase45">

and after that the server does something that is defined in this server testcase

for example send invalid xml, or abort the stream with a specific error at a specific point

nice idea! ✏

Holger, could ejabberd do that? ↑

lovetox, not exactly a server, but check biboumi’s e2e tests.

I think they do something like that.

i just dont know if its worth to implement something like that in a real server

its probably much work because it hooks into all kind of modules

maybe i need just a simple server that plays specific stanzas in a specific order i define

You also have the opposite, scansion, for server testing.

hm or i simply write a testmode for nbxmpp, where nbxmpp just plays the stanzas to my client

lovetox: like a reverse scansion?

i guess what i searched was some way how i can do this with minimal work, but its either much impl on the server, or on my lib, or in my app

Zash, no, I think he looks more for a server whose behavior is configurable so that it eventually misbehaves in a predicatable way ✏

flow: so, like scansion in reverse, acting as a server instead of n clients

Zash, ok, right, in scansion you make the clients misbehave ✏

Zash, would it be feasible to extend scansion in such a way?

If you're lucky it'd just be changing it to accept a connection instead of initiate them, then replay the scripts there

Probably more work than that tho
