3proxy/tests/README.md
Vladimir Dubrovin daa0e36e41 Cover the port mappers, tlspr, dnspr, auto and the UDP data path
tcppm and udppm forward a port each, so test both directions of each: a
request through the TCP mapper reaching its target, a datagram through the
UDP one coming back answered, and a mapper whose rules deny the client
answering nothing.

tlspr takes its destination from the name in the handshake, so point that
name at 127.0.0.1 with nsrecord and give the certificate the same name: the
name then both chooses where the request goes and is what the client checks.

dnspr answers from its cache, including the documented 0.0.0.0 record, which
is handed out as an address rather than withheld.

auto is asked to serve an HTTP proxy request, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and a TLS
handshake on one port, and to make nothing of a request that is none of
them. Its protocols reach different places, so there are two origins.

The SOCKS UDP association was only checked for the port it binds. Send
datagrams through it as well, large and small, and check a second
association gets its own port - and that one bound inside an intport range
still relays.

A UDP service has no socket to connect to, so readiness is found by asking
until it answers rather than racing it.

# Regression tests
python3 tests/run.py # every case
python3 tests/run.py httpsrv # cases whose name matches
python3 tests/run.py --bin build/bin/3proxy
python3 tests/run.py -v # print every check
python3 tests/run.py --keep # keep the configurations and logs
Python 3.6 or later and a built 3proxy are the only requirements: the suite
is standard library throughout, so it runs wherever 3proxy builds. The TLS
case additionally wants `openssl` on PATH to generate its key material, and
skips itself when that is missing or the build has no TLS support. With no
`--bin` it looks in `bin/`, then `build/bin/`, then the per-configuration
directories a multi-configuration CMake generator uses.
The proxy under test is also the origin server the tests talk to: the `http`
command's `echo` operation reports back how a request arrived - method, path,
query, host, and the source port it came from - and `data` generates a body
of a requested size, framing, status and pace. So a case can state what a
proxy should do to a request and then read off what actually reached the
other side.
## Adding a case
A case is a module under `cases/` exporting `run(t)`. It writes the
configurations it needs, starts them, and says what it expects:
```python
def run(t):
srv = t.free_port()
t.start("my_case", f"""
log
auth iponly
allow *
http * /echo echo
httpsrv -p{srv}
""", ports=[srv])
r = t.http(f"http://127.0.0.1:{srv}/echo")
t.eq(200, r.status, "the server answers")
t.contains(r, "method=GET", "the method is reported")
```
Servers are stopped for you when the case ends, whether or not it passed.
`t` offers `http()` (direct, through an HTTP proxy, or over a CONNECT
tunnel), `socks_http()` and `socks_connect()` for SOCKS4 and SOCKS5,
`socks_udp_associate()`, `raw()` for bytes a real client would never send,
and `run_config()` for configurations that are meant to be rejected.
Assertions are `eq`, `ne`, `contains`, `not_contains`, `in_range`,
`not_in_range`, plus `ok`, `fail` and `skip`. `harness.field()` and
`int_field()` pull a single line out of an `echo` reply.
For services with no TCP port to connect to, `t.udp_echo()` starts an echo
server, `t.udp_exchange()` sends a datagram, `t.wait_udp()` waits for a UDP
service to start answering, `t.socks_udp()` carries one through a SOCKS
association, and `t.dns_query()` asks a DNS server for an A record.
`t.certs()` generates a CA, a second unrelated CA, and a certificate for
127.0.0.1, once per run and inside the run's temporary directory, so no key
material lives in the tree. `t.https()`, `t.tls_proxy_http()` and
`t.socks_http()` reach a server through TLS, a TLS-wrapped proxy, or SOCKS.
Log records are written when a connection finishes rather than when the
reply arrives, so assert on them through `t.wait_output(server, text)`.
Note that access rules accumulate until `flush`, so a service section that
means to stand on its own should start with one - otherwise an earlier
`allow *` matches first and the rule under test is never reached.
