# 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,
|
|
- `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.
|
|
|
|
## Focused Commands
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the gateway test project after shared gateway test infrastructure changes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj
|
|
```
