Package rpcreplay supports the capture and replay of gRPC calls. Its main goal is
|
|
to improve testing. Once one captures the calls of a test that runs against a real
|
|
service, one has an "automatic mock" that can be replayed against the same test,
|
|
yielding a unit test that is fast and flake-free.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recording
|
|
|
|
To record a sequence of gRPC calls to a file, create a Recorder and pass its
|
|
DialOptions to grpc.Dial:
|
|
|
|
rec, err := rpcreplay.NewRecorder("service.replay", nil)
|
|
if err != nil { ... }
|
|
defer func() {
|
|
if err := rec.Close(); err != nil { ... }
|
|
}()
|
|
conn, err := grpc.Dial(serverAddress, rec.DialOptions()...)
|
|
|
|
It's essential to close the Recorder when the interaction is finished.
|
|
|
|
There is also a NewRecorderWriter function for capturing to an arbitrary
|
|
io.Writer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replaying
|
|
|
|
Replaying a captured file looks almost identical: create a Replayer and use
|
|
its DialOptions. (Since we're reading the file and not writing it, we don't
|
|
have to be as careful about the error returned from Close).
|
|
|
|
rep, err := rpcreplay.NewReplayer("service.replay")
|
|
if err != nil { ... }
|
|
defer rep.Close()
|
|
conn, err := grpc.Dial(serverAddress, rep.DialOptions()...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Initial State
|
|
|
|
A test might use random or time-sensitive values, for instance to create unique
|
|
resources for isolation from other tests. The test therefore has initial values --
|
|
the current time, a random seed -- that differ from run to run. You must record this
|
|
initial state and re-establish it on replay.
|
|
|
|
To record the initial state, serialize it into a []byte and pass it as the second
|
|
argument to NewRecorder:
|
|
|
|
timeNow := time.Now()
|
|
b, err := timeNow.MarshalBinary()
|
|
if err != nil { ... }
|
|
rec, err := rpcreplay.NewRecorder("service.replay", b)
|
|
|
|
On replay, get the bytes from Replayer.Initial:
|
|
|
|
rep, err := rpcreplay.NewReplayer("service.replay")
|
|
if err != nil { ... }
|
|
defer rep.Close()
|
|
err = timeNow.UnmarshalBinary(rep.Initial())
|
|
if err != nil { ... }
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nondeterminism
|
|
|
|
A nondeterministic program may invoke RPCs in a different order each time
|
|
it is run. The order in which RPCs are called during recording may differ
|
|
from the order during replay.
|
|
|
|
The replayer matches incoming to recorded requests by method name and request
|
|
contents, so nondeterminism is only a concern for identical requests that result
|
|
in different responses. A nondeterministic program whose behavior differs
|
|
depending on the order of such RPCs probably has a race condition: since both the
|
|
recorded sequence of RPCs and the sequence during replay are valid orderings, the
|
|
program should behave the same under both.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other Replayer Differences
|
|
|
|
Besides the differences in replay mentioned above, other differences may cause issues
|
|
for some programs. We list them here.
|
|
|
|
The Replayer delivers a response to an RPC immediately, without waiting for other
|
|
incoming RPCs. This can violate causality. For example, in a Pub/Sub program where
|
|
one goroutine publishes and another subscribes, during replay the Subscribe call may
|
|
finish before the Publish call begins.
|
|
|
|
For streaming RPCs, the Replayer delivers the result of Send and Recv calls in
|
|
the order they were recorded. No attempt is made to match message contents.
|
|
|
|
At present, this package does not record or replay stream headers and trailers, or
|
|
the result of the CloseSend method.
