A sample url shortener app to test Keploy integration capabilities using Gin and MongoDB

Don’t have Keploy installed yet?

Before running this sample, make sure Keploy is installed on your system.

πŸ‘‰ Go to Installation Guide

Clone a sample URL shortener app πŸ§ͺ​

git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-go.git && cd samples-go/gin-mongo
go mod download

We will be using Docker compose to run the application as well as MongoDb on Docker container.

Lights, Camera, Record! πŸŽ₯​

Fire up the application and MongoDB instance with Keploy. Keep an eye on the two key flags: -c: Command to run the app (e.g., docker compose up).

--container-name: The container name in the docker-compose.yml for traffic interception.

keploy record -c "docker compose up" --container-name "ginMongoApp"

Getting logs like this? Perfect! πŸ‘Œ

Keploy Record Test case

πŸ”₯ Challenge time! Generate some test cases. How? Just make some API calls. Postman, Hoppscotch or even curl - take your pick!

Let's make URLs short and sweet:

Generate shortened url​

curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:8080/url \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
"url": "https://google.com"
}'

Here's a peek of what you get:

{
"ts": 1645540022,
"url": "http://localhost:8080/Lhr4BWAi"
}

πŸŽ‰ Woohoo! With a simple API call, you've crafted a test case with a mock! Dive into the Keploy directory and feast your eyes on the newly minted test-1.yml and mocks.yml

Run Tests πŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€‹

Time to put things to the test πŸ§ͺ

keploy test -c "docker compose up" --container-name "ginMongoApp" --delay 10

The --delay flag? Oh, that's just giving your app a little breather (in seconds) before the test cases come knocking.

Your results should be looking all snazzy, like this:

Sample Keploy Test Result Gin MongoDB

Did you spot that the ts (timestamp) is showing some differences? Yep, time has a way of doing that! πŸ•°οΈ

Worry not, just add the ever-changing fields (like our ts here) to the noise parameter to dodge those assertions.

Pro tip: Add body.ts to noise in test-x.yaml.

Run that keploy test command once more and watch as everything falls into place with all tests passing! 🌟

Final thoughts? Dive deeper! Try different API calls, tweak the DB response in the mocks.yml, or fiddle with the request or response in test-x.yml. Run the tests again and see the magic unfold!βœ¨πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»βœ¨

Congrats on the journey so far! You've seen Keploy's power, flexed your coding muscles, and had a bit of fun too! Now, go out there and keep exploring, innovating, and creating! Remember, with the right tools and a sprinkle of fun, anything's possible.πŸ˜ŠπŸš€

Running App Locally on Linux/WSL πŸ§β€‹

A Sample url shortener app to test Keploy integration capabilities using Echo and PostgreSQL

Don’t have Keploy installed yet?

Before running this sample, make sure Keploy is installed on your system.

πŸ‘‰ Go to Installation Guide

Clone a sample URL shortener app πŸ§ͺ​

git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-go.git && cd samples-go/gin-mongo
go mod download

We'll be running our sample application right on Linux, but just to make things a tad more thrilling, we'll have the database (MongoDB) chill on Docker. Ready? Let's get the party started! πŸŽ‰

If you are using WSL on Windows then use below to start wsl in the user's home directory:

wsl ~

First things first, update the MongoDB URL to localhost:27017 on line 21 of our trusty main.go file.

Linux change Gin MongoDB

πŸƒ Kickstart MongoDB​

Let's breathe life into your mongo container. A simple spell should do the trick:

docker compose up mongo

πŸ“Ό Recording Time!​

Ready, set, record! Here's how:

keploy record -c "go run main.go handler.go"

Keep an eye out for the -c flag! It's the command charm to run the app. Whether you're using go run main.go handler.go or the binary path like ./test-app-url-shortener, it's your call. If you're seeing logs that resemble the ones below, you're on the right track:

Keploy Record Test case

Alright! With the app alive and kicking, let's weave some test cases. Making some API calls! Postman, Hoppscotch, or the classic curl - pick your wand.

Generate shortened url​

✨ A pinch of URL magic:

curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:8080/url \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
"url": "https://google.com"
}'

And... voila! A shortened URL appears:

{
"ts": 1645540022,
"url": "http://localhost:8080/Lhr4BWAi"
}

Give yourself a pat on the back! With that simple spell, you've conjured up a test case with a mock! Explore the Keploy directory and you'll discover your handiwork in test-1.yml and mocks.yml.
