Mock Testing Suite

Current Features for mock

• REST recording service
• REST mock response server

How to enable

• Any exchange with mock testing will be enabled by default. This is done using build tags which are highlighted in the examples below via //+build mock_test_off. To disable and run live endpoint testing parse -tags=mock_test_off as a go test param.

Mock test setup

• Create two additional test files for the exchange. Examples are below:

file one - your_current_exchange_name_live_test.go

//+build mock_test_off

// This will build if build tag mock_test_off is parsed and will do live testing
// using all tests in (exchange)_test.go
package your_current_exchange_name

import (
	"os"
	"testing"
	"log"

	"github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader/config"
	"github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader/exchanges/sharedtestvalues"
)

var mockTests = false

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
	cfg := config.GetConfig()
	cfg.LoadConfig("../../testdata/configtest.json")
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig, err := cfg.GetExchangeConfig("your_current_exchange_name")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("your_current_exchange_name Setup() init error", err)
	}
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig.API.AuthenticatedSupport = true
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig.API.Credentials.Key = apiKey
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig.API.Credentials.Secret = apiSecret
	s.SetDefaults()
	s.Setup(&your_current_exchange_nameConfig)
	log.Printf(sharedtestvalues.LiveTesting, s.Name, s.API.Endpoints.URL)
	os.Exit(m.Run())
}

file two - your_current_exchange_name_mock_test.go

//+build !mock_test_off

// This will build if build tag mock_test_off is not parsed and will try to mock
// all tests in _test.go
package your_current_exchange_name

import (
	"os"
	"testing"
	"log"

	"github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader/config"
	"github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader/exchanges/mock"
	"github.com/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader/exchanges/sharedtestvalues"
)

const mockfile = "../../testdata/http_mock/your_current_exchange_name/your_current_exchange_name.json"

var mockTests = true

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
	cfg := config.GetConfig()
	cfg.LoadConfig("../../testdata/configtest.json")
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig, err := cfg.GetExchangeConfig("your_current_exchange_name")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("your_current_exchange_name Setup() init error", err)
	}
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig.API.AuthenticatedSupport = true
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig.API.Credentials.Key = apiKey
	your_current_exchange_nameConfig.API.Credentials.Secret = apiSecret
	s.SetDefaults()
	s.Setup(&your_current_exchange_nameConfig)

	serverDetails, newClient, err := mock.NewVCRServer(mockfile)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Mock server error %s", err)
	}

	s.HTTPClient = newClient
	s.API.Endpoints.URL = serverDetails

	log.Printf(sharedtestvalues.MockTesting, s.Name, s.API.Endpoints.URL)
	os.Exit(m.Run())
}

Mock test storage

• Under testdata/http_mock create a folder matching the name of your exchange. Then create a JSON file matching the name of your exchange with the following formatting:

{
	"routes": {
	}
}

Recording a test result

• Once the files your_current_exchange_name_mock_test.go and your_current_exchange_name_live_test.go along with the JSON file testdata/http_mock/our_current_exchange_name/our_current_exchange_name.json are created, go through each individual test function and add

var s SomeExchange

func TestDummyTest(t *testing.T) {
	s.Verbose = true // This will show you some fancy debug output
	s.HTTPRecording = true // This will record the request and response payloads
	s.API.Endpoints.URL = apiURL // This will overwrite the current mock url at localhost
	s.API.Endpoints.URLSecondary = secondAPIURL // This is only if your API has multiple endpoints
	s.HTTPClient = http.DefaultClient // This will ensure that a real HTTPClient is used to record
	err := s.SomeExchangeEndpointFunction()
	// check error
}

• This will store the request and results under the freshly created testdata/http_mock/your_current_exchange/your_current_exchange.json

Validating

• To check if the recording was successful, comment out recording and apiurl changes, then re-run test.

var s SomeExchange

func TestDummyTest(t *testing.T) {
	s.Verbose = true // This will show you some fancy debug output
	// s.HTTPRecording = true // This will record the request and response payloads
	// s.API.Endpoints.URL = apiURL // This will overwrite the current mock url at localhost
	// s.API.Endpoints.URLSecondary = secondAPIURL // This is only if your API has multiple endpoints
	// s.HTTPClient = http.DefaultClient // This will ensure that a real HTTPClient is used to record
	err := s.SomeExchangeEndpointFunction()
	// check error
}

• The payload should be the same.

Considerations

• Some functions require timestamps. Mock tests must match the same request structure, so time.Now() will cause problems for mock testing.
  • To address this, use the boolean variable mockTests to create a consistent date. An example is below.

	startTime := time.Now().Add(-time.Hour * 1)
	endTime := time.Now()
	if mockTests {
		startTime = time.Date(2020, 9, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
		endTime = time.Date(2020, 9, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
	}

• Authenticated endpoints will typically require valid API keys and a signature to run successfully. Authenticated endpoints should be skipped. See an example below

	if mockTests {
		t.Skip("skipping authenticated function for mock testing")
	}
