Features
- Ability to mimic any DNS records (
A
,AAAA
,CNAME
,MX
,NS
,PTR
,SOA
andTXT
) - Automatically converts hostnames to RDNS/Punycode representation
- Lightweight UDP DNS mock server with dynamic/manual port assignment
- Test framework agnostic (it's PORO, so you can use it outside of
RSpec
,Test::Unit
orMiniTest
) - Simple and intuitive DSL
- Only one runtime dependency
Requirements
Ruby MRI 2.5.0+
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile
:
group :development, :test do
gem 'dns_mock', require: false
end
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install dns_mock
Usage
# Example of mocked DNS records, please follow this data structure
records = {
'example.com' => {
a: %w[1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2],
aaaa: %w[2a00:1450:4001:81e::200e],
ns: %w[ns1.domain.com ns2.domain.com],
mx: %w[mx1.domain.com mx2.domain.com:50], # you can specify host(s) or host(s) with priority, use '.:0' for definition null MX record
txt: %w[txt_record_1 txt_record_2],
cname: 'mañana.com', # you can specify hostname in UTF-8. It will be converted to xn--maana-pta.com automatically
soa: [
{
mname: 'dns1.domain.com',
rname: 'dns2.domain.com',
serial: 2_035_971_683,
refresh: 10_000,
retry: 2_400,
expire: 604_800,
minimum: 3_600
}
]
},
'1.2.3.4' => { # You can define RDNS host address without lookup prefix. It will be converted to 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa automatically
ptr: %w[domain_1.com domain_2.com]
}
}
# Public DnsMock interface
# records:Hash, port:Integer, exception_if_not_found:Boolean
# are optional params. By default creates dns mock server with
# empty records. A free port for server will be randomly assigned
# in the range from 49152 to 65535, if record not found exception
# won't raises. Please note if you specify zero port number,
# free port number will be randomly assigned as a server port too.
# Returns current dns mock server
dns_mock_server = DnsMock.start_server(records: records) # => DnsMock::Server instance
# returns current dns mock server port
dns_mock_server.port # => 49322
# interface to setup mock records.
# Available only in case when server mocked records is empty
dns_mock_server.assign_mocks(records) # => true/nil
# interface to reset current mocked records
dns_mock_server.reset_mocks! # => true
# interface to stop current dns mock server
dns_mock_server.stop! # => true
# returns list of running dns mock servers
DnsMock.running_servers # => [DnsMock::Server instance]
# interface to stop all running dns mock servers
DnsMock.stop_running_servers! # => true
RSpec
Require this either in your Gemfile or in RSpec's support scripts. So either:
# Gemfile
group :test do
gem 'rspec'
gem 'dns_mock', require: 'dns_mock/test_framework/rspec'
end
or
# spec/support/config/dns_mock.rb
require 'dns_mock/test_framework/rspec'
DnsMock RSpec helper
Just add DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Helper
if you wanna use shortcut dns_mock_server
for DnsMock server instance inside of your RSpec.describe
blocks:
# spec/support/config/dns_mock.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Helper
end
# your awesome first_a_record_spec.rb
RSpec.describe FirstARecord do
subject(:service) do
described_class.call(
hostname,
dns_gateway_host: 'localhost',
dns_gateway_port: dns_mock_server.port
)
end
let(:hostname) { 'example.com' }
let(:first_a_record) { '1.2.3.4' }
let(:records) { { hostname => { a: [first_a_record] } } }
before { dns_mock_server.assign_mocks(records) }
it { is_expected.to eq(first_a_record) }
end
DnsMock RSpec interface
If you won't use DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Helper
you can use DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Interface
directly instead:
DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Interface.start_server # creates and runs DnsMock server instance
DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Interface.stop_server! # stops current DnsMock server instance
DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Interface.reset_mocks! # resets mocks in current DnsMock server instance
DnsMock::TestFramework::RSpec::Interface.clear_server! # stops and clears current DnsMock server instance
