AsyncAPI 3.x: the sampler - #1752
Draft
LautaroPetaccio wants to merge 3 commits into
Draft
Conversation
AsyncApiSampler asks the driver where the document is, reads it, builds one action per publishable message, and samples sequences of them. The first individuals it hands out publish one message each, one per operation, so every operation is tried before the search starts combining them. One sampler for both modes. Where REST and GraphQL fetch the schema themselves in black-box mode, here the document comes through the driver either way, as the driver is what holds the connection to the broker. Seeded test cases are not supported yet, and say so.
Review: what the parser skips was reported to the user and kept for the final report, but nothing checked it; nor that the single-message individuals return after a reset, nor the two other ways start-up can fail. Four tests, and the helper that builds the injector is shared.

Eleventh in the AsyncAPI stack, on top of #1751. Draft, for the same reason: the fitness and the Guice module that make
--problemType ASYNCAPIrun come next.What it does
At start-up,
AsyncApiSamplerasks the driver where the document is, reads it — from a location or as text, whicheverAsyncApiProblemcarried — hands it toAsyncApiActionBuilder, and ends up with one action template per publishable message. Whatever the parser or the builder had to skip is printed for the user and kept in theWarningsAggregatorfor the final report, as the REST sampler does.Sampling is the plain kind: a random individual publishes between one and
maxTestSizemessages, each a copy of a template with its genes initialised. With smart sampling on, the first individuals handed out publish one message each, one per operation, so that every operation has been tried once before the search starts combining them — the same opening move as REST's ad-hoc individuals.One sampler for both modes
REST and GraphQL have an
initForBlackBoxbranch that fetches the schema themselves, because in black-box mode there is no driver. Here there always is one (#1751), so the document arrives the same way in both modes and the sampler never asksconfig.blackBox. One of the tests runs it with--blackBox=trueand another withfalse, against the same fake driver, to hold that.Not here
FitnessFunctionbinding before the injector it produces is usable, soAsyncApiModulearrives with the fitness, when it can be complete. Until thenMain'sASYNCAPIbranch keeps its message.Testing
AsyncApiSamplerTestwires the sampler through Guice and Governator — so@PostConstructruns for real — against a fakeRemoteControllerthat answers only what start-up asks. Ten tests: one action per operation of the NCS document; the same under--blackBox=true; the document fetched from a file the driver names; fifty random individuals within size bounds with every gene initialised and no setup actions; every operation tried once before combining, and again afterresetSpecialInit(); what the parser had to skip reaching theWarningsAggregatorfor the final report; and three ways start-up can fail — a document that is not there, a service that does not start, a driver declaring no AsyncAPI service — each surfacing as aSutProblemException, which is whatMainreports as a problem with the SUT rather than a crash.All AsyncAPI core suites plus the config ones: 157 tests, 0 failures.
