Testing

Distributed Bus with Service Map comes with ability to test using real or in memory Message Channels. We can test run the tests using Ecotone Lite test support.

Testing Flow between Services

Suppose we do have two different Services User Service and Ticket Service. From User Service we would like to send Command to create new ticket, whenever something interesting happens.

Therefore using Ecotone Lite we can roll out two different applications and share the channel to test the full flow. Let's start by defining Publishing Service (Application):

# test file

$distributedTicketChannel = SimpleMessageChannelBuilder::createQueueChannel('distributed_ticket');

$userService = EcotoneLite::bootstrapFlowTesting(
            configuration: ServiceConfiguration::createWithDefaults()
                ->withServiceName('user_service')
                ->withExtensionObjects([
                    // distributed service map on the publisher side
                    DistributedServiceMap::initialize()
                        ->withServiceMapping(serviceName: 'ticket_service', channelName: 'distributed_ticket'),
                    // shared in memory channel
                    enableAsynchronousProcessing: [distributedTicketChannel]
                ]),
        )

When we do have Publishing Service, we can now set up Consumer side. Suppose we would like to test such Distributed Command Handler:

# application file

class TicketService
{
    #[Distributed]
    #[CommandHandler('ticket.create')]
    public function createTicket(CreateTicket $command, TicketRepository $ticketRepository): void
    {
        $ticket = Ticket::create($command);
        $ticketRepository->save($ticket);
    }
}

So let's define the Distributed Consumer

# test file
(...)

$ticketRepository = new InMemoryTicketRepository();
$ticketService = EcotoneLite::bootstrapFlowTesting(
            classesToResolve: [TicketService::class],
            containerOrAvailableServices: [
                TicketService::class => new TicketService(),
                TicketRepository::class => $ticketRepository,            
            ]
            configuration: ServiceConfiguration::createWithDefaults()
                ->withServiceName('ticket_service'),
            enableAsynchronousProcessing: [distributedTicketChannel]
        )

As we do have Publishing and Consuming side ready, we can now send Command from User Service.

$userService->getDistributedBus()->convertAndSendCommand(
    'ticket_service',
    'ticket.create',
    new CreateTicket(//data),
);

This as a result will send this Command Message to Distributed Message Channel from which we can consume and verify, if our Ticket was stored correctly:

$ticketService->run('ticket_service');
$this->assertSame(
    1,
    $ticketRepository->count(),
);

Testing with real Message Channels and serialization

We may also test out using real production Message Channels, it's simple as switching to different provider:

$distributedTicketChannel = SqsBackedMessageChannelBuilder::create("distributed_ticket")

We can also test serialization using In Memory Message Channels.
