Getting started with Test::Nginx

jenny.lighthart

Hello Openresty developers,

Thank you for putting together such a great bundle of modules for nginx.

I am working on implementing some nginx-lua scripts and need a way to run automated tests on scripts that have dependency onto ngx variables. I have found references to Test::Nginx and think it might be what I need, but am having trouble getting started.

https://github.com/openresty/test-nginx

Can you point me to the documentation or a getting started guide for this perl test tool? What is the simplest example or "hello world" test that can be written.

I appreciate your help,

Jenny

The official manual-like documentation can be found on CPAN:

    https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::Nginx::Socket

And there's some nice tutorials over the web, for example,

    http://www.nginx-discovery.com/2011/03/day-32-moving-to-testnginx.html

That blog has quite some other posts regarding Test::Nginx and
OpenResty in general as well.

A quick google search also finds the following quick introduction to
Test::Nginx in Chinese:
