Route table check tool

The route table check tool checks whether the route parameters returned by a router match what is expected. The tool can also be used to check whether a path redirect, path rewrite, or host rewrite match what is expected.

Input

The tool expects two input files:

  1. A v2 router config file (YAML or JSON). The router config file schema is found in config and the config file extension must reflect its file type (for instance, .json for JSON and .yaml for YAML).
  2. A tool config JSON file. The tool config JSON file schema is found in config. The tool config input file specifies urls (composed of authorities and paths) and expected route parameter values. Additional parameters such as additional headers are optional.
Output

The program exits with status EXIT_FAILURE if any test case does not match the expected route parameter value.

The --details option prints out details for each test. The first line indicates the test name.

If a test fails, details of the failed test cases are printed. The first field is the expected route parameter value. The second field is the actual route parameter value. The third field indicates the parameter that is compared. In the following example, Test_2 and Test_5 failed while the other tests passed. In the failed test cases, conflict details are printed.

Test_1
Test_2
default other virtual_host_name
Test_3
Test_4
Test_5
locations ats cluster_name
Test_6

Testing with valid runtime values is not currently supported, this may be added in future work.

Building

The tool can be built locally using Bazel.

bazel build //test/tools/router_check:router_check_tool
Running

The tool takes two input files and an optional command line parameter --details. The expected order of command line arguments is: 1. The router configuration file. 2. The tool configuration json file. 3. The optional details flag.

bazel-bin/test/tools/router_check/router_check_tool router_config.(yaml|json) tool_config.json

bazel-bin/test/tools/router_check/router_check_tool router_config.(yaml|json) tool_config.json --details
Testing

A bash shell script test can be run with bazel. The test compares routes using different router and tool configuration files. The configuration files can be found in test/tools/router_check/test/config/… .

bazel test //test/tools/router_check/...
