Glint

Glint is a library which allows you to fire arbitrary TCP server processes programatically and ensures the processes are shutdown when your code exit.

It's useful when you want to test your code against real TCP server processes.

Synopsis

server = Glint::Server.new do |port|
  # Execute target server process
  exec command, args
end
server.start

# Test your code against the server process
client = MyClient.new('127.0.0.1', server.port)
client.do_something

exit
# The process executed above will be shutdown here.

Methods

Glint::Server

Glint::Server.info

server.rb:

server = Glint::Server.new do |port|
  exec 'memcached', '-p', port.to_s;
  exit 0
end
server.start

Glint::Server.info[:memcached] = "127.0.0.1:#{server.port}"

client.rb:

client = Dalli::Client.new(Glint::Server.info[:memcached])

Glint::Server.info is used to store server info globally which is retrieved and utilized by client later. It's useful when server and client codes are not in the same code.

Glint::Server#start

server = Glint::Server.new do |port|
  exec 'memcached', '-p', port.to_s;
  exit 0
end
server.start

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
