Test Suite

This module comes with a Perl-driven test suite. The test cases are declarative too. Thanks to the Test::Nginx module in the Perl world.

To run it on your side:

## It will take a lot of time, but it only needs to be run once.
cpan Test::Nginx

# You need to specify a temporary directory.
# If the directory does not exist it will be created automatically.
# If the directory already exists it will be **removed** first and then created.
export MODULE_TEST_PATH=/path/to/temp/dir

# You need to specify the absolute path to the dynamic module if you have it installed, 
# otherwise you do not need to run this line.
export MODULE_PATH=/path/to/ngx_http_waf_module.so

cd ./test/test-nginx
sh ./init.sh
sh ./start.sh ./t/*.t

Some parts of the test suite requires standard modules proxy, rewrite and SSI to be enabled as well when building Nginx.
