A gem to black-box test a web server configuration. For example, whether a site's SSL certificate is correctly configured and not expired:
expect('github.com').to have_a_valid_certIt's a tool for doing Test Driven Devops (I just made that up). See my introductory blog post for the backstory.
This library takes a minimalist approach: it simply adds new RSpec matchers. Therefore, you can use your own RSpec writing style; there's no new DSL to learn.
$ gem install rspec-webservice_matchersThese new RSpec matchers:
| Notes | |
|---|---|
| be_up | Looks for a 200, but will follow up to four redirects |
| be_fast | Checks for Google PageSpeed score >= 85. Expects the environment variable WEBSERVICE_MATCHER_INSIGHTS_KEY to contain a Google "server" API key with PageSpeed Insights API enabled. |
| enforce_https_everywhere | Passes if the site will only allow SSL connections. See the EFF project, HTTPS Everywhere |
| have_a_valid_cert | Will fail if there's no cert, or it's expired or incorrectly configured |
| be_status | A low-level matcher to explicitly check for a 200, 503, or any other code |
| redirect_permanently_to | Checks for 301 and a correct destination URL |
| redirect_temporarily_to | Checks for 302 or 307 and a correct destination |
Here's an example which uses them all:
require 'rspec/webservice_matchers'
describe 'My app' do
context 'www.myapp.com' do
it { should be_up }
it { should be_fast }
it { should have_a_valid_cert }
end
it 'serves the "about" page without redirecting' do
expect('http://www.myapp.com/about').to be_status 200
end
it 'only serves via www' do
expect('http://myapp.com').to redirect_permanently_to 'http://www.myapp.com/'
end
it 'forces visitors to use https' do
expect('myapp.com').to enforce_https_everywhere
end
