DESCRIPTION
This distribution provides two testing modules for Nginx C module development:
-
Test::Nginx::Socket (This is highly recommended.)
This library also has the following subclasses:
-
Test::Nginx::LWP (This is obsolete.)
All of them are based on Test::Base.
Usually, Test::Nginx::Socket is preferred because it works on a much lower level and not that fault tolerant like Test::Nginx::LWP.
Also, a lot of connection hang issues (like wrong r->main->count value in nginx
0.8.x) can only be captured by Test::Nginx::Socket because Perl's LWP::UserAgent client
will close the connection itself which will conceal such issues from
the testers.
Test::Nginx automatically starts an nginx instance (from the PATH env)
rooted at t/servroot/ and the default config template makes this nginx
instance listen on the port 1984 by default. One can specify a different
port number by setting his port number to the TEST_NGINX_PORT environment,
as in
export TEST_NGINX_PORT=1989
User Guide
You can find a comprehensive user guide on this test framework in my upcoming book "Programming OpenResty":

INSTALLATION
If you have `cpan` installed, you can simply run the command to install this module:
sudo cpan Test::Nginx
If you want to install from the source code directory directly, you can run
sudo cpan .
If you prefer cpanm to cpan (like I do!), you can replace cpan in the commands above with cpanm.
Otherwise you can install this module in the good old way below:
perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install
