I've been using my Test::Nginx module on CPAN for all my nginx modules' test suite for years: https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::Nginx::Socket We've also been using subclasses of this test framework to drive CloudFlare's Lua business systems' test suites :) Almost all the test suites of the NGINX components listed in the following page for my Amazon EC2 test cluster's test report are driven by Test::Nginx: http://qa.openresty.org All these opensource modules' test suites can serve as live examples. Oh yeah, we definitely need more hands-on tutorials to explain all the powerful features of this test framework. I'll write up something soon :) Best regards, -agentzh _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list nginx-devel@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
