NextJs Sample Application

Introduction

This is a sample app to test Keploy integration capabilities using NextJS and Postgres with Drizzle ORM. Buckle up, it's gonna be a fun ride! 🎢

🛠️ Platform-Specific Requirements for Keploy

Below is a table summarizing the tools needed for both native and Docker installations of Keploy on MacOS, Windows, and Linux:

Operating System	Without Docker	Docker Installation	Prerequisites
MacOS			Docker Desktop version must be 4.25.2 or above
Windows			- Use WSL `wsl --install` - Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11
Linux			Linux kernel 5.15 or higher

On MacOS and Windows, additional tools are required for Keploy due to the lack of native eBPF support.

Keploy Installation

Quick Installation Using CLI

Let's get started by setting up the Keploy alias with this command:

 curl --silent -O -L https://keploy.io/install.sh && source install.sh

You should see something like this:

Other Installation Methods

Install using Docker

Downloading and running Keploy in Docker

On macOS

Note : Keploy is not supported natively on MacOS, so you can follow the below method to run with docker

Open up a terminal window.
Create a bridge network in Docker using the following docker network create command:

docker network create keploy-network

Run the following command to start the Keploy container:

alias keploy="docker run --name keploy-v2 -p 16789:16789 --network keploy-network --privileged --pid=host -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug -v /sys/fs/bpf:/sys/fs/bpf -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --rm ghcr.io/keploy/keploy"

Running Keploy Natively on MacOS by setting up a linux env

Downloading and running Keploy in Native using Debian on MacOS

Open the terminal Session.
Run the following command

limactl show-ssh --format=config debian-12 & add it to its ssh config

Open a remote window on your code editor
Click on connect to host
Now select the configured SSH as "lima-debian"
Once you are in the terminal run the following commands to go into your directory

cd /Users

cd /{Username}

Run the following command to install Keploy

curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_arm64.tar.gz" | tar xz --overwrite -C /tmp
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin/keploy

Run the following command to install Zsh

sudo apt-get -y install zsh

Why? : zsh (Z Shell) is an advanced shell that offers enhanced features compared to the default bash shell. It provides better autocompletion, advanced globbing, improved history management, and more customization options.

Install Git

sudo apt-get -y install git

Install 'Oh-my-zsh'

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

Why? : oh-my-zsh is a framework for managing your zsh configuration. It comes with a collection of plugins, themes, and helpful features that enhance the zsh experience.

Commands to Install docker

sudo apt-get -y update

sudo apt-get -y install ca-certificates curl

sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings

sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get -y update

sudo apt-get -y update

sudo apt-get -y install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Add docker to sudoers

sudo groupadd docker

sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

Downloading and running Keploy in Native

Prequisites:

Linux Kernel version 5.15 or higher
Run uname -a to verify the system architecture.
In case of Windows, use WSL with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or higher.

Downloading and running Keploy On WSL/Linux AMD

On WSL/Linux AMD

Open the terminal Session.
Run the following command to download and install Keploy:

curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz --overwrite -C /tmp
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin/keploy

On WSL/Linux ARM

Open the terminal Session
Run the following command to download and install Keploy:

curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_arm64.tar.gz" | tar xz --overwrite -C /tmp
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin/keploy

Note: Keploy is not supported on MacOS natively.

Setting up the Docker Desktop for WSL 2

Install Docker Desktop for Windows from here.

When developing on Windows with Docker Desktop and WSL 2, it's crucial to configure Docker Desktop to allow WSL 2 distributions to access the Docker daemon. This setup enables seamless integration between your Windows environment, WSL 2 Linux distros, and Docker.

By default, Docker Desktop may not be configured to work with all WSL 2 distros out of the box. Proper configuration ensures that you can run Docker commands from within your WSL 2 environment, allowing for a more native Linux development experience while leveraging the power of Windows.

This setup is essential for Keploy to function correctly in a WSL 2 environment, as it needs to interact with the Docker daemon to manage containers and networks effectively. For detailed instructions on how to configure Docker Desktop for WSL 2, please refer to the official Docker documentation.

With Arkade

Installing Arkade

# Note: you can also run without `sudo` and move the binary yourself
curl -sLS https://get.arkade.dev | sudo sh

arkade --help
ark --help  # a handy alias

# Windows users with Git Bash
curl -sLS https://get.arkade.dev | sh

Install Keploy

arkade get keploy

Or you can also download specific version of Keploy using the following command:

arkade get keploy@2.2.0-alpha23

Get Started! 🎬

Now that we have bun installed, we will setup our application.

git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-typescript && cd samples-typscript/nextjs-postgres

## Download node modules
npm install

# start the database instance
docker-compose up

Installation 📥

Using Docker container for Postgres and running application locally

Running App Locally on Linux/WSL 🐧

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

Capture testcase

Ready, set, record! Here's how:

sudo -E env PATH=$PATH keploy record -c 'npm run dev'

Alright, magician! With the app alive and kicking, let's weave some test cases. The spell? Making some API calls!

Generate testcases

1. Create Post request

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"John","email":"doe@example.com"}' http://localhost:3000/api/users

This will return the response:

{
  "users": [
    {
      "id": 3,
      "name": "John",
      "email": "doe@example.com",
      "createdAt": "2024-03-27T10:07:30.172Z"
    }
  ]
}

2. Make Get Request

curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/users

Test Record

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

Want to see if everything works as expected?

Run Tests

Time to put things to the test 🧪

sudo -E env PATH=$PATH keploy test -c "npm run dev" --delay 10

Test Record

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

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!✨👩‍💻👨‍💻✨

Wrapping it up 🎉

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. 😊🚀
