🛠️ 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 SystemWithout DockerDocker InstallationPrerequisites
MacOS MacOSNot SupportedSupported- Docker Desktop version must be 4.25.2 or above
- For running Keploy on MacOS natively, refer to Guide
Windows WindowsSupportedSupported- Use WSL wsl --install

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

  1. Open up a terminal window.

  2. Create a bridge network in Docker using the following docker network create command:

docker network create keploy-network
  1. 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"
Downloading and running Keploy in Native

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

  1. Open the terminal Session.
  2. 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

  1. Open the terminal Session
  2. 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

  1. 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

With Arkade

  1. 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
  1. 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! 🎬

Clone a sample user authentication app 🧪

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

Installation 📥

There are 2 ways you can run this sample application.

Using Docker Compose 🐳

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

Lights, Camera, Record! 🎥

Setup the Redis Database 📦

Start the Redis instance using the docker-compose file-

docker compose up redis

Now, we will create the docker image of our application:-

docker build -t gin-app:1.0 .

Capture the test-cases-

keploy record -c "docker run -p 3001:3001 --network <networkName> --name ginRedisApp gin-app:1.0"

🔥Make some API calls. Postman, Hoppscotch or even curl - take your pick!

Let's make URLs short and sweet:

1. Request OTP

curl --location 'localhost:3001/api/getVerificationCode?email=something@gmail.com&username=shivamsourav'

This will return the OTP response:

{
"status": "true",
"message": "OTP Generated successfully",
"otp": "5486"
}

2. Verify OTP

curl --location 'localhost:3001/api/verifyCode' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"otp":2121,
"email":"something@gmail.com"
}'

This will return the OTP verification response:

{
"status": "true",
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ2YWx1ZSI6ImdtYWlsLmNvbSIsImV4cCI6MTY5ODc1ODIyNn0.eVrNACUY93g-5tu8fxb2BEOs1wn2iCe8wVpUYU6OLSE",
"username": "shivamsourav",
"message": "OTP authenticated successfully"
}

🎉 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

Want to see if everything works as expected?

Run Tests

Time to put things to the test 🧪

keploy test -c "sudo docker run -p 3001:3001 --rm --network <networkName> --name ginRedisApp gin-app:1.0" --delay 10

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.😊🚀

Happy coding! ✨👩‍💻👨‍💻✨

**********************************___**********************************

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!🎉

📼 Roll the Tape - Recording Time!

Start the Redis database using docker-compose:

docker compose up redis

We'll create a binary of our application:

go build -o gin-redis

Ready, set, record! Here's how:

sudo -E PATH=$PATH keploy record -c "./gin-redis"

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

Generate testcases

To generate testcases we just need to make some API calls.

1. Request OTP

curl --location 'localhost:3001/api/getVerificationCode?email=something@gmail.com&username=shivamsourav'

This will return the OTP response:

{
"status": "true",
"message": "OTP Generated successfully",
"otp": "5486"
}

2. Verify OTP

curl --location 'localhost:3001/api/verifyCode' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"otp":2121,
"email":"something@gmail.com"
}'

This will return the OTP verification response:

{
"status": "true",
"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ2YWx1ZSI6ImdtYWlsLmNvbSIsImV4cCI6MTY5ODc1ODIyNn0.eVrNACUY93g-5tu8fxb2BEOs1wn2iCe8wVpUYU6OLSE",
"username": "shivamsourav",
"message": "OTP authenticated successfully"
}

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.
