# Gateway Testing
|
|
|
|
Gateway tests run without installed MXAccess by using fake workers, fake
|
|
transports, and in-process gRPC service fakes. Live MXAccess verification belongs
|
|
in opt-in integration tests because it depends on installed COM components and
|
|
provider state.
|
|
|
|
## Fake Worker Harness
|
|
|
|
`FakeWorkerHarness` in `src/MxGateway.Tests/Gateway/Workers/Fakes/` provides an
|
|
in-process worker side for named-pipe IPC tests. It uses the same
|
|
`WorkerFrameReader`, `WorkerFrameWriter`, and `WorkerEnvelope` contract as the
|
|
gateway so tests exercise real frame validation and worker-client state changes.
|
|
|
|
Use the harness when a gateway or session test needs worker behavior without
|
|
starting `MxGateway.Worker.exe` or loading MXAccess COM. The harness scripts:
|
|
|
|
- `WorkerHello` and `WorkerReady` startup,
|
|
- command replies with matching correlation ids,
|
|
- ordered `WorkerEvent` frames,
|
|
- `WorkerHeartbeat` frames,
|
|
- `WorkerFault` frames,
|
|
- shutdown acknowledgements,
|
|
- malformed protobuf payloads and oversized frame headers,
|
|
- slow or hung workers by withholding a reply.
|
|
|
|
Session-level tests can connect the harness to the pipe created by
|
|
`SessionWorkerClientFactory` with `ConnectToGatewayPipeAsync`. Lower-level
|
|
`WorkerClient` tests can use `CreateConnectedPairAsync` to create both pipe ends
|
|
inside the test.
|
|
|
|
`GatewayEndToEndFakeWorkerSmokeTests` composes the real gRPC service,
|
|
`SessionManager`, `SessionWorkerClientFactory`, `WorkerClient`, and
|
|
`EventStreamService` with a scripted fake worker launcher. The smoke test covers
|
|
`OpenSession`, `Register`, `AddItem`, `Advise`, one streamed `OnDataChange`
|
|
event, and `CloseSession` without loading MXAccess COM.
|
|
|
|
## Live MXAccess Smoke
|
|
|
|
`WorkerLiveMxAccessSmokeTests` in `src/MxGateway.IntegrationTests/` composes the
|
|
real gRPC service, `SessionManager`, `SessionWorkerClientFactory`,
|
|
`WorkerClient`, `WorkerProcessLauncher`, and `MxGateway.Worker.exe`. It is
|
|
skipped unless `MXGATEWAY_RUN_LIVE_MXACCESS_TESTS=1` is set because it creates
|
|
the installed MXAccess COM object and depends on live provider state.
|
|
|
|
The live smoke opens a gateway session, launches the x86 worker, runs
|
|
`Register`, `AddItem`, and `Advise`, waits a bounded time for one
|
|
`OnDataChange`, and closes the session in a `finally` block so the worker gets a
|
|
graceful shutdown request even when a command or event assertion fails.
|
|
|
|
Build the worker before running the smoke:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet build src/MxGateway.Worker/MxGateway.Worker.csproj -p:Platform=x86
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the smoke explicitly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$env:MXGATEWAY_RUN_LIVE_MXACCESS_TESTS = "1"
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.IntegrationTests/MxGateway.IntegrationTests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~WorkerLiveMxAccessSmokeTests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optional live smoke variables:
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
|
|----------|---------|-------------|
|
|
| `MXGATEWAY_LIVE_MXACCESS_WORKER_EXE` | First existing `MxGateway.Worker.exe` under `src/MxGateway.Worker/bin/...` | Worker executable path. Set this when running against a packaged worker or a non-default build output. |
|
|
| `MXGATEWAY_LIVE_MXACCESS_ITEM` | `TestChildObject.TestInt` | MXAccess item reference used by `AddItem`. |
|
|
| `MXGATEWAY_LIVE_MXACCESS_CLIENT_NAME` | `MxGateway.IntegrationTests` | Client name passed to `Register`. |
|
|
| `MXGATEWAY_LIVE_MXACCESS_EVENT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` | `15` | Maximum wait for the first `OnDataChange`. |
|
|
|
|
The test output includes session id, worker process id, command status,
|
|
HRESULT/status diagnostics, event sequence and handles, close status, and worker
|
|
stdout/stderr lines emitted during the run.
|
|
|
|
## Focused Commands
|
|
|
|
Run the cross-language smoke matrix tests after changing the documented client
|
|
smoke command list:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~CrossLanguageSmokeMatrixTests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the parity fixture matrix tests after changing the integration parity
|
|
scenario list:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~ParityFixtureMatrixTests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the fake worker tests after changing gateway worker IPC, session startup, or
|
|
event streaming behavior:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~FakeWorkerHarnessTests
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~SessionWorkerClientFactoryFakeWorkerTests
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~GatewayEndToEndFakeWorkerSmokeTests
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~WorkerClientTests
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Worker.Tests/MxGateway.Worker.Tests.csproj -p:Platform=x86 --filter FullyQualifiedName~WorkerPipeSessionTests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the gateway test project after shared gateway test infrastructure changes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj
|
|
```
