DESCRIPTION

This distribution provides two testing modules for Nginx C module development:

• Test::Nginx::Socket (This is highly recommended.)

  This library also has the following subclasses:

  • Test::Nginx::Socket::Lua
  • Test::Nginx::Socket::Lua::Stream

• Test::Nginx::LWP (This is obsolete.)

All of them are based on Test::Base.

Usually, Test::Nginx::Socket is preferred because it works on a much lower level and not that fault tolerant like Test::Nginx::LWP.

Also, a lot of connection hang issues (like wrong r->main->count value in nginx 0.8.x) can only be captured by Test::Nginx::Socket because Perl's LWP::UserAgent client will close the connection itself which will conceal such issues from the testers.

Test::Nginx automatically starts an nginx instance (from the PATH env) rooted at t/servroot/ and the default config template makes this nginx instance listen on the port 1984 by default. One can specify a different port number by setting his port number to the TEST_NGINX_PORT environment, as in

export TEST_NGINX_PORT=1989

User Guide

You can find a comprehensive user guide on this test framework in my upcoming book "Programming OpenResty":
