Testing with Hoverfly and Java Part 2: Delays

On the previous post we implemented json and Java based Hoverfly scenarios..
Now it’s time to dive deeper and use other Ηoverfly features.

A big part of testing has to do with negative scenarios. One of them is delays. Although we always mock a server and we are successful to reproduce erroneous scenarios one thing that is key to simulate in todays microservices driven world is delay.

So let me make a server with a 30 secs delay.

public class SimulateDelayTests {
 
    private Hoverfly hoverfly;
 
    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() {
        var simulation = SimulationSource.dsl(service("http://localhost:8085")
                .get("/delay")
                .willReturn(success("{\"username\":\"test-user\"}", "application/json").withDelay(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)));
 
        var localConfig = HoverflyConfig.localConfigs().disableTlsVerification().asWebServer().proxyPort(8085);
        hoverfly = new Hoverfly(localConfig, SIMULATE);
        hoverfly.start();
        hoverfly.simulate(simulation);
    }
 
    @AfterEach
    void tearDown() {
        hoverfly.close();
    }
 
}

Let’s add the Delay Test

@Test
void testWithDelay() {
   var client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
   var request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
         .uri(URI.create("http://localhost:8085/delay"))
         .build();
   var start = Instant.now();
   var res = client.sendAsync(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString())
         .thenApply(HttpResponse::body)
         .join();
   var end = Instant.now();
   Assertions.assertEquals("{\"username\":\"test-user\"}", res);
 
   var seconds = Duration.between(start, end).getSeconds();
   Assertions.assertTrue(seconds >= 30);
}

Delay simulation is there, up and running, so let’s try to simulate timeouts.

@Test
    void testTimeout() {
        var client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
        var request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
                .uri(URI.create("http://localhost:8085/delay"))
                .timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
                .build();
        assertThrows(HttpTimeoutException.class, () -> {
                    try {
                        client.sendAsync(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString()).join();
                    } catch (CompletionException ex) {
                        throw ex.getCause();
                    }
                }
 
        );
    }

That’s it we got delays and timeouts!
Other test scenarios should contain state which is covered on the next tutorial.
