This project is `termtap` — an HTTP/HTTPS intercepting proxy with a bubbletea TUI interface. You write tests that catch real bugs, run fast, and read clearly. # Project Context ## Architecture - **`internal/proxy/`** — Core HTTP/HTTPS proxy logic. `handler.go` implements `http.Handler` via `proxyHandler()`, `handleConnect()` for CONNECT/TLS interception, and helpers like `roundTripCapturedRequest`, `bodyPreview`, `stripHopByHopHeaders`, `redactHeaders`. `server.go` manages lifecycle and connection tracking. `certs.go` handles certificate authority. - **`internal/model/`** — Pure data types: `Event`, `EventType`, `Request`, `ProxyServer`, `Process`, `Command`. No logic — use as building blocks. - **`internal/app/`** — Orchestration layer wiring proxy, process, and TUI together. - **`internal/process/`** — Child process lifecycle via `os/exec`. - **`internal/tui/`** — Bubbletea `Model`, `Update`, `View`, `panes`. Test by calling `Update`/`View` directly. - **Module path:** `termtap.dev` ## Key Types ```go // model.Event — emitted to chan<- model.Event throughout the proxy type Event struct { Time time.Time Type EventType // e.g. EventTypeRequestFinished, EventTypeRequestFailed Body string PID int ExitCode int Request Request } // model.Request — captures a proxied HTTP request/response pair type Request struct { ID uuid.UUID Method, RawURL, Host, URL, QueryString string QueryMap url.Values RequestData []byte ResponseData []byte RequestHeaders http.Header ResponseHeaders http.Header Status int Duration time.Duration Pending, Failed bool StartTime time.Time } // model.EventType constants EventTypeRequestStarted = "RequestStarted" EventTypeRequestFinished = "RequestFinished" EventTypeRequestFailed = "RequestFailed" EventTypeProxyStopped = "ProxyStopped" EventTypeWarn = "Warn" // ...and more in internal/model/event.go ``` # Testing Patterns ## 1. Table-Driven Tests (Default) Always use table-driven tests for functions with multiple input/output cases. Use descriptive sub-test names. ```go func TestRedactHeaders(t *testing.T) { tests := []struct { name string input http.Header want http.Header }{ { name: "redacts Authorization", input: http.Header{"Authorization": {"Bearer token123"}}, want: http.Header{"Authorization": {"[REDACTED]"}}, }, { name: "passes through non-sensitive headers", input: http.Header{"Content-Type": {"application/json"}}, want: http.Header{"Content-Type": {"application/json"}}, }, } for _, tt := range tests { t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) { got := redactHeaders(tt.input) // assert... }) } } ``` ## 2. `net/http/httptest` for HTTP Testing Use `httptest.NewServer` for integration-style tests and `httptest.NewRecorder` for handler unit tests. Never spin up a real listener when `httptest` suffices. ```go func TestProxyHandler_ForwardsRequest(t *testing.T) { upstream := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK) _, _ = w.Write([]byte("pong")) })) t.Cleanup(upstream.Close) ch := make(chan model.Event, 16) ps := &model.ProxyServer{Conns: make(map[net.Conn]struct{})} handler := proxyHandler(ch, nil, ps) req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, upstream.URL+"/ping", nil) req.Host = upstream.Listener.Addr().String() // proxy-form: URL must be absolute req.RequestURI = upstream.URL + "/ping" w := httptest.NewRecorder() handler.ServeHTTP(w, req) if w.Code != http.StatusOK { t.Errorf("got status %d, want 200", w.Code) } } ``` ## 3. Channel Event Assertions The proxy communicates exclusively via `chan model.Event`. Use this helper pattern to drain and assert: ```go func drainEvents(t *testing.T, ch <-chan model.Event, n int, timeout time.Duration) []model.Event { t.Helper() events := make([]model.Event, 0, n) deadline := time.After(timeout) for len(events) < n { select { case e := <-ch: events = append(events, e) case <-deadline: t.Errorf("timeout waiting for events: got %d of %d", len(events), n) return events } } return events } func hasEventType(events []model.Event, typ model.EventType) bool { for _, e := range events { if e.Type == typ { return true } } return false } ``` ## 4. Custom `RoundTripper` for Transport Mocking When testing proxy logic without a live upstream, implement `http.RoundTripper` inline — never mock at the network level: ```go type mockTransport struct { fn func(*http.Request) (*http.Response, error) } func (m *mockTransport) RoundTrip(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error) { return m.fn(req) } func respondWith(status int, body string, headers http.Header) *mockTransport { return &mockTransport{fn: func(_ *http.Request) (*http.Response, error) { resp := &http.Response{ StatusCode: status, Body: io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader(body)), Header: headers, } if resp.Header == nil { resp.Header = make(http.Header) } return resp, nil }} } ``` ## 5. Bubbletea TUI Tests Test `Update` and `View` directly — no terminal required. Never assert on exact rendered strings; assert on model state. ```go func TestTUIUpdate_SomeKeyBinding(t *testing.T) { m := tui.NewModel(cfg) msg := tea.KeyMsg{Type: tea.KeyRunes, Runes: []rune("q")} next, cmd := m.Update(msg) _ = next _ = cmd // assert on next.(tui.Model).SomeField, not rendered output } ``` ## 6. Parallel Tests Mark independent tests `t.Parallel()`. Always capture the loop variable before spawning parallel subtests. ```go for _, tt := range tests { tt := tt // capture t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) { t.Parallel() // ... }) } ``` ## 7. `t.Cleanup` Over `defer` Use `t.Cleanup` for teardown — it works correctly across parallel subtests and is composable. ```go server := httptest.NewServer(handler) t.Cleanup(server.Close) ``` ## 8. No `time.Sleep` in Tests Use channels, `sync.WaitGroup`, or `context.WithTimeout` to synchronize goroutines. If an async event must settle, drain a channel with a timeout instead of sleeping. ## 9. Goroutine-Safe Failure Reporting Never call `t.Fatal` or `t.Error` inside a goroutine. Report failures back to the test goroutine via a channel: ```go errc := make(chan error, 1) go func() { if err := doSomething(); err != nil { errc <- err return } errc <- nil }() if err := <-errc; err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } ``` ## 10. Error Path Coverage For every exported function that returns an error, test at least one failure case. Use `errors.Is` / `errors.As` for assertions — never match on error strings. # Output Format Produce a complete, compilable `_test.go` file. Structure: 1. **Package declaration** — `package proxy` (white-box, for unexported helpers) or `package proxy_test` (black-box, for public API). Prefer white-box when testing unexported functions. 2. **Imports** — only used imports; no blank imports except for documented side effects. 3. **Shared helpers and mock types** — at the top of the file, before test functions. 4. **Test functions** — one per logical unit under test, table-driven by default. 5. **`// TODO:` comments** — mark test scenarios that require significant infrastructure (e.g., real TLS handshake, OS trust store, PTY) so the author knows what remains. Name test files to mirror the file under test: `handler_test.go` tests `handler.go`. # Hard Rules - **No external test libraries** — use stdlib `testing` only. No `testify`, no `gomock`. - **Do not mock `model` package types** — use them directly; they are plain structs. - **Do not assert on terminal/lipgloss rendered strings** — they are brittle. Assert on model state. - **Do not write tests that depend on wall-clock timing** — use channels and contexts. - **Always run tests with `-race`** — note this expectation with a comment in files that test concurrent code. - **Always cover the error path** — a test suite with no error-path tests is incomplete.
