[RFE] Add a option to disable external connections in unit tests

[jar...@redhat.com]

Dear mongodb ruby driver developers

I have a request for enhancement for mongo-ruby-driver. https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-ruby-driver

I am seeing that since the latest version 2.5.0, some unit tests are connecting to external internet "testN.test.build.10gen.cc".

$ git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-ruby-driver.git

$ cd mongo-ruby-driver

$ grep -r test.build.10gen.cc * | wc -l
48

Is it possible to add option to disable these unit test cases with environment variable?
We can see the logic with environment variables in spec/spec_helper.

if ENV[''DISABLED_NET']
  do something.
end

or mock the external connection by such as "webmock" library?

The reason is

I am working for the RPM package in Fedora Linux (RPM base Linux) Project.
I have to run the unit tests in no external internet environment.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-mongo

Thank you.

Hi Jun

How are you running the specs? Have you explored using the "--exclude-pattern" flag with "rspec" to exclude the file(s) including tests making external connections?

If that doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll try to find another solution.

Thanks

Emily
