gRPC golang server and client testing

[Sankar]

Hi

I have a .proto file which I ran with protoc to generate the _pb.go file. I then wrote a server and a client program that uses the above _pb.go program. Now what is the best way to unit test the server and client pieces ? (complete with mocking, benchmarks for both client and server; end-to-end testing, etc.)

IOW, I am trying to find out the test programs for https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/blob/master/examples/helloworld/greeter_server/main.go and https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/blob/master/examples/helloworld/greeter_client/main.go 

Thanks.

Sankar

Would be interested to learn of if you found a good solution.

Hi，any solution now?  I am looking for the best way too.

Not everybody in the Go community favours the use of mocking tools, so many published solutions don't have any tests of that kind.   Maybe you should write the tests yourself.

I use pegomock for mocking.  (I tried gomock but I found issues that were not fixed.  I also found a couple of issues with pegomock too, but the author fixed them.)

Pegomock tool is a fairly conventional mocking tool.  Given an interface, it produces a concrete class that implements the interface and can be told at runtime how to respond to a method call.  So anything you test has to be defined by an interface.  Of course, if you only have a concrete class, Go allows you to create your own interface that matches it, so that's not a big problem.

If you want some worked examples of pegomock, see my scaffolder https://github.com/goblimey/scaffolder.  It generates a web server with pegomock tests for some of the components.

Hi, did you know how to do the unit testing of grpc now?

[Sankar P]

Hey, Sorry. Nope. We gave up on grpc.
