Unix Socket Server Testing Documentation

License Go Version Tests Assertions Coverage

Comprehensive testing documentation for the Unix socket server package, covering test architecture, strategies, performance benchmarks, and best practices for local IPC.


Table of Contents


Overview

The Unix socket server package includes a comprehensive test suite designed to validate functionality, performance, concurrency safety, and robustness under various conditions. The test suite uses BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) style with Ginkgo v2 and Gomega for clear, readable tests.

Test Philosophy:

  1. Atomic Testing: Each test validates a single behavior
  2. Concurrency Safety: All tests run with race detector
  3. Real Resources: Use actual Unix domain sockets, no mocks
  4. Performance Aware: Measure and validate performance characteristics
  5. Comprehensive Coverage: Target >80% code coverage with meaningful tests
  6. Platform-Specific: Tests for Linux and macOS platforms only

Framework & Tools

Ginkgo v2 - BDD Testing Framework

Why Ginkgo over standard Go testing:

  • Hierarchical organization: Describe, Context, It for clear test structure
  • Better readability: Tests read like specifications
  • Rich lifecycle hooks: BeforeEach, AfterEach, BeforeAll, AfterAll
  • Async testing: Eventually, Consistently for time-based assertions
  • Parallel execution: Built-in support for concurrent test runs
  • Focused/Pending specs: Easy debugging with FIt, FDescribe
  • Better reporting: Colored output, progress indicators

Reference: Ginkgo Documentation

Example:

var _ = Describe("Unix Socket Server", func() {
    Context("when starting", func() {
        It("should accept connections", func() {
            // Test logic
        })
    })
})

Gomega - Matcher Library

Advantages over standard assertions:

  • Expressive matchers: Equal, BeNumerically, HaveOccurred, etc.
  • Better error messages: Clear failure descriptions
  • Async assertions: Eventually for polling conditions
  • Custom matchers: Extensible for domain-specific assertions

Reference: Gomega Documentation

Example matchers:

Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())
Expect(srv.IsRunning()).To(BeTrue())
Expect(count).To(Equal(int64(5)))
Eventually(func() bool {
    return srv.IsRunning()
}, 2*time.Second).Should(BeTrue())

gmeasure - Performance Measurement

Why gmeasure:

  • Statistical analysis: Automatic calculation of median, mean, percentiles
  • Integrated reporting: Results embedded in Ginkgo output
  • Sampling control: Configurable sample size and duration
  • Multiple metrics: Duration, memory, custom measurements

Reference: gmeasure Package

Example:

exp := NewExperiment("Server Performance")
exp.Sample(func(idx int) {
    exp.MeasureDuration("startup", func() {
        // Code to measure
    })
}, SamplingConfig{N: 10})

stats := exp.GetStats("startup")
// Provides: Min, Max, Median, Mean, StdDev

Testing Concepts & Standards

Uncovered Code Analysis

High Coverage (>80%):

interface.go:   91.7%  ✅  Server creation and initialization
listener.go:    84.1%  ✅  Accept loop and connection handling  
model.go:       86.7%  ✅  Core server state management
error.go:       100%   ✅  Error definitions

Medium Coverage (60-80%):

context.go:     61.5%  ⚠️   I/O operations and context management

Uncovered Lines: 20.9% (target: <20%)

1. Context Interface Methods (0% coverage)

These are standard context.Context interface implementations that delegate to the underlying context. Low priority for testing as they're thin wrappers:

func (o *sCtx) Deadline() (time.Time, bool)  // 0%
func (o *sCtx) Done() <-chan struct{}         // 0%
func (o *sCtx) Err() error                    // 0%
func (o *sCtx) Value(key any) any             // 0%

Reason: Thin wrappers around embedded context, tested indirectly through integration tests.

Impact: Low - defensive programming for standard interface compliance.

2. Connection State Methods (0% coverage)

Simple accessor methods:

func (o *sCtx) IsConnected() bool     // 0%
func (o *sCtx) RemoteHost() string    // 0%
func (o *sCtx) LocalHost() string     // 0%

Reason: Simple getters, minimal logic to test.

Impact: Minimal - straightforward accessor methods.

3. Error Handling Edge Cases

Partial coverage on error paths:

  • Write error combinations: 61.5%
  • Close error handling: 70%
  • Error callback invocation: 53.8%

Reason: Difficult to trigger specific error conditions in integration tests.

Impact: Low - error paths are defensive, core functionality is well-tested.

atomic.Int64 Connection counter cnt.Add(), cnt.Load()
libatm.Value Callbacks Atomic load/store for callbacks
sync.Mutex Listener Protects net.Listener operations
context.Context Cancellation Thread-safe cancellation propagation

Verified Thread-Safe:

  • All public methods can be called concurrently
  • Connection counter accurate under concurrent load
  • Callbacks registered safely during operation
  • Graceful shutdown works with active connections

Performance Limitations

Known Bottlenecks:

  1. Goroutine-per-Connection: Each connection spawns a goroutine (~8KB stack)
  2. OS Limits: File descriptor limits affect max connections (typically 1024-65535)
  3. Context Switching: High connection counts (>1000) may cause scheduling overhead
  4. TLS Handshake: Adds 2-5ms latency per connection
  5. Handler Complexity: Slow handlers directly impact throughput

Scalability Limits:

  • Maximum tested connections: 100 concurrent (no degradation)
  • Recommended limit: 1,000-10,000 connections
  • Not suitable for: >50,000 simultaneous connections

Concurrency Performance

Concurrent Operations:

Test Goroutines Operations Time Throughput Races
Concurrent Connections 10 100 ~200ms 500 conn/s 0
Concurrent Start/Stop 5 50 ~1s 50 ops/s 0
Echo Operations 10 1000 ~2s 500 ops/s 0

Scalability:

  • Linear scaling up to 100 connections
  • No lock contention (atomic operations)
  • No performance degradation under load
  • Zero race conditions detected

Memory Usage

Per-Connection Memory:

Goroutine stack:      ~8 KB
sCtx structure:       ~1 KB
Application buffers:  Variable (e.g., 4 KB)
────────────────────────────
Total per connection: ~10-15 KB

Memory Scaling:

Connections Memory Usage Notes
100 ~1-2 MB Ideal range
1,000 ~10-15 MB Good
10,000 ~100-150 MB Monitor closely
50,000+ ~500MB-1GB+ Not recommended

Test Templates

Basic Unit Test Template

var _ = Describe("Component", func() {
    var (
        srv scksru.ServerUnix
        ctx context.Context
        cancel context.CancelFunc
    )

    BeforeEach(func() {
        // Setup
        ctx, cancel = context.WithCancel(globalCtx)
        cfg := createDefaultConfig(getTestSocketPath())
        srv, _ = scksru.New(nil, echoHandler, cfg)
    })

    AfterEach(func() {
        // Cleanup
        if srv != nil {
            _ = srv.Close()
        }
        if cancel != nil {
            cancel()
        }
        time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond)  // Allow cleanup
    })

    Context("when doing X", func() {
        It("should behave Y", func() {
            // Test logic with Expect assertions
        })
    })
})

Helper Functions

Common Helpers in helper_test.go:

// Get a free TCP port
port := getFreePort()

// Get test address with free port
addr := getTestAddr()  // "localhost:XXXXX"

// Create default configuration
cfg := createDefaultConfig(addr)

// Create TLS configuration
cfg := createTLSConfig(addr)

// Connect to server
conn := connectToServer(addr)

// Send and receive data
response := sendAndReceive(conn, data)

// Wait for server state
waitForServer(srv, 2*time.Second)
waitForServerStopped(srv, 2*time.Second)
waitForConnections(srv, 5, 2*time.Second)

// Start server in background
startServerInBackground(ctx, srv)

Handler Functions:

echoHandler(c libsck.Context)                 // Echo server
counterHandler(cnt *atomic.Int32)             // Count connections
slowHandler(delay time.Duration)              // Delayed handler
closeHandler(c libsck.Context)                // Immediately close
writeOnlyHandler(msg string)                  // Write-only
readOnlyHandler(c libsck.Context)             // Read-only

Running New Tests

Focus on Specific Tests:

# Run only new tests by pattern
go test -run TestNewFeature -v

# Run specific Ginkgo spec
go test -ginkgo.focus="should handle new feature" -v

# Run tests in specific file (requires build tags or focus)
go test -run TestServerTCP/NewFeature -v

Fast Validation Workflow:

# 1. Run only the new test (fast)
go test -ginkgo.focus="new feature" -v

# 2. If passes, run full suite without race (medium)
go test -v

# 3. If passes, run with race detector (slow)
CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race -v

# 4. Check coverage impact
go test -cover -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -func=coverage.out | grep "new_feature"

Debugging New Tests:

# Verbose output with stack traces
go test -v -ginkgo.v -ginkgo.trace

# Focus and fail fast
go test -ginkgo.focus="new feature" -ginkgo.failFast -v

# With delve debugger
dlv test -- -ginkgo.focus="new feature"

Benchmark Template

Using gmeasure:

var _ = Describe("Benchmarks", Ordered, func() {
    var experiment *gmeasure.Experiment

    BeforeAll(func() {
        experiment = gmeasure.NewExperiment("Operation Name")
        AddReportEntry(experiment.Name, experiment)
    })

    It("should measure performance", func() {
        experiment.Sample(func(idx int) {
            experiment.MeasureDuration("operation", func() {
                // Code to benchmark
            })
        }, gmeasure.SamplingConfig{
            N:        100,              // Sample size
            Duration: 5 * time.Second,  // Max duration
        })

        stats := experiment.GetStats("operation")
        AddReportEntry("Stats", stats)
        
        // Assert performance requirements
        Expect(stats.DurationFor(gmeasure.StatMedian)).To(
            BeNumerically("<", 10*time.Millisecond))
    })
})

Best Practices:

  1. Warmup: Run operations before measuring to stabilize
  2. Realistic Load: Use production-like data sizes
  3. Clean State: Reset between samples if needed
  4. Statistical Significance: Use N >= 50 for reliable results
  5. Timeout: Always set reasonable duration limits
  6. Assertions: Be tolerant (use P50/P95, not min/max)

Best Practices

DO

1. Use free ports:

// ✅ GOOD: Avoid port conflicts
addr := getTestAddr()  // Gets a free port

2. Cleanup resources:

// ✅ GOOD: Always cleanup
defer srv.Close()
defer cancel()
time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond)  // Allow goroutines to finish

3. Use Eventually for async operations:

// ✅ GOOD: Wait for async state changes
Eventually(func() bool {
    return srv.IsRunning()
}, 2*time.Second, 10*time.Millisecond).Should(BeTrue())

4. Test error paths:

// ✅ GOOD: Test both success and failure
It("should fail with invalid address", func() {
    cfg := createDefaultConfig("")
    srv, err := scksrt.New(nil, handler, cfg)
    Expect(err).To(HaveOccurred())
    Expect(srv).To(BeNil())
})

DON'T

1. Don't hardcode ports:

// ❌ BAD: Port conflict in parallel tests
cfg := createDefaultConfig(":8080")

2. Don't forget cleanup:

// ❌ BAD: Resource leak
srv, _ := scksrt.New(nil, handler, cfg)
// Forgot to call srv.Close()

3. Don't use fixed delays for state:

// ❌ BAD: Flaky due to timing
time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
Expect(srv.IsRunning()).To(BeTrue())

// ✅ GOOD: Use Eventually
Eventually(srv.IsRunning, 2*time.Second).Should(BeTrue())

4. Don't test implementation details:

// ❌ BAD: Tests internal structure
Expect(srv.(*tcp.srv).run.Load()).To(BeTrue())

// ✅ GOOD: Test public API
Expect(srv.IsRunning()).To(BeTrue())

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Race Detector Errors

WARNING: DATA RACE

Solution:

  • Run with -race flag: CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race
  • Fix any detected races (use atomic operations, mutexes, or channels)
  • All tests must pass with race detector

2. Port Already in Use

bind: address already in use

Solution:

  • Use getTestAddr() to get free ports
  • Ensure proper cleanup in AfterEach
  • Add time.Sleep() after server close to allow OS to release port

3. Timeout in Eventually

Timed out after 2.000s

Solution:

  • Increase timeout: Eventually(..., 5*time.Second)
  • Check if server is actually starting
  • Verify no errors in server startup
  • Use waitForServerAcceptingConnections() for network readiness

4. Flaky Tests

Symptoms: Tests pass sometimes, fail other times

Solutions:

  • Remove fixed time.Sleep(), use Eventually()
  • Ensure unique ports per test (getTestAddr())
  • Proper resource cleanup
  • Avoid testing timing-dependent behavior

5. Coverage Not Updating

# Ensure coverage file is generated
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...

# Check file exists
ls -lh coverage.out

# View coverage
go tool cover -func=coverage.out

Performance Test Failures

Startup too slow (>1s):

  • Check system load
  • Verify no network issues
  • Ensure ports are available quickly

Echo latency too high (>50ms):

  • Use localhost (not external interfaces)
  • Check for CPU throttling
  • Verify no network congestion
