Community Zero

Gem Version Build Status

Description

Based largely off of Chef Zero, Community Zero is an in-memory Chef Community Site that can be useful for testing. It IS intended to be simple, API compliant, easy to run and test. It is NOT intended to be secure, scalable, performant, scalable, persistent, or production-ready. It does not authentication or authorization (it will never throw a 400, 401, or 403). It does not persist data.

Because Community Zero run in memory, it's super fast and lightweight. This makes it perfect for testing against a "real" Community Site without mocking the entire Internet.

Installation

The server can be installed as a Ruby Gem:

$ gem install community-zero

If you're using bundler, add community-zero as a development dependency:

group :development do
  gem 'community-zero'
end

Or in a .gemspec:

s.add_development_dependency 'community-zero'

You can also clone the source repository and install it using rake install.

Usage

The primary use is an in-memory fake Community site for testing. Here's a simple example:

require 'community_zero/rspec'

This will create a server in the background and give you some nice hooks for accessing the data store to create and manipulate objects for testing. The best example tests are the cucumber tests packaged in the features directory.

Valid Options

You may currently pass the following options to the initializer:

  • host - the host to run on
  • port - the port to run on

CLI (Command Line)

If you don't want to use Community Zero as a library, you can start it using the included executable:

$ community-zero

Note, this will run in the foreground.

Run community-zero --help to see a list of the supported flags and options:

Usage: community-zero [ARGS]
    -H, --host HOST                  Host to bind to (default: 0.0.0.0)
    -p, --port PORT                  Port to listen on (default: 3389)
    -h, --help                       Show this message
        --version                    Show version
