Mock for testing Stored Procedures in Microsoft Azure's DocumentDB

Microsoft Azure's DocumentDB is a great PaaS NoSQL database. My absolute favorite feature is that you can write stored procedures in JavaScript (CoffeeScript in my case) but it's missing a mature way to test your stored procedures. Luckily, JavaScript runs just fine on node.js so your stored procedures will run there with mock data.

This package implements a thin mock for testing stored procedures.

Features

Working

DocumentDBMock implements many of the methods in the DocumentDB's Collection class including:

• getResponse.setBody
• getSelfLink
• createDocument
• readDocument
• replaceDocument
• deleteDocument
• queryDocuments
• readDocuments

Unimplemented

• Attachment operations - should be easy to implement following the patterns for document operations
• Right now, you pretty much have to pre-configure the mock with every response that you expect to get from DocumentDB operations.

Install

npm install -save documentdb-mock

Usage

You can look at the code in the test and stored-procedure folders to see how to use DocumentDBMock.

Basically:

1. Create a module to hold one or more stored procedures. You simply need to exports your function(s).
2. Create your mock with mock = new DocumentDBMock('path/to/stored/procedure')
3. Set mock.nextResources, mock.nextError, mock.nextOptions, and/or mock.nextCollectionOperationQueued to control the response that your stored procedure will see to the next collection operation. Note, nextCollectionOperationQueued is the Boolean that is immediately returned from collection operation calls. Setting this to false allows you to test situations where your stored procedure is defensively timed out by DocumentDB.
4. Call your stored procedure like it was a function from within your test with mock.package.your-stored-procedure()
5. Inspect mock.lastBody to see the output of your stored procedure. You can also inspect mock.lastResponseOptions 'mock.lastCollectionLink, and mock.lastQueryFilter` to see the last values that your stored procedure sent into the most recent collection operation.

As an example, here is a stored procedure that will count all of the documents in a collection:

count = (memo) ->

    collection = getContext().getCollection()

    unless memo?
    memo = {}
    unless memo.count?
    memo.count = 0
    unless memo.continuation?
    memo.continuation = null
    unless memo.example?
    memo.example = null

    stillQueuingOperations = true

    query = () ->

    if stillQueuingOperations
        responseOptions =
        continuation: memo.continuation
        pageSize: 1000

        if memo.filterQuery?
        stillQueuingOperations = collection.queryDocuments(collection.getSelfLink(), memo.filterQuery, responseOptions, onReadDocuments)
        else
        stillQueuingOperations = collection.readDocuments(collection.getSelfLink(), responseOptions, onReadDocuments)

    setBody()

    onReadDocuments = (err, resources, options) ->
    if err
        throw err

    count = resources.length
    memo.count += count
    memo.example = resources[0]
    if options.continuation?
        memo.continuation = options.continuation
        query()
    else
        memo.continuation = null
        setBody()

    setBody = () ->
    getContext().getResponse().setBody(memo)

    query()
    return memo

exports.count = count

Here is a simple nodeunit test of the above stored procedure:

DocumentDBMock = require('documentdb-mock')
mock = new DocumentDBMock('./stored-procedures/countDocuments')

exports.countTest =

  basicTest: (test) ->
    mock.nextResources = [
      {id: 1, value: 10}
      {id: 2, value: 20}
      {id: 3, value: 30}
    ]

    mock.package.count()

    test.equal(mock.lastBody.count, 3)
    test.ok(!mock.lastBody.continuation?)

    test.done()
    

If you want to test the ability of a stored procedure to be restarted:

  testContinuation: (test) ->
    firstBatch = [
      {id: 1, value: 10}
      {id: 2, value: 20}
    ]
    secondBatch = [
      {id: 3, value: 30}
      {id: 4, value: 40}
    ]
    mock.resourcesList = [firstBatch, secondBatch]

    firstOptions = {continuation: 'ABC123'}
    secondOptions = {}
    mock.optionsList = [firstOptions, secondOptions]

    mock.package.count()

    test.equal(mock.lastBody.count, 4)
    test.ok(!mock.lastBody.continuation?)

    # Note, lastResponseOptions is NOT the options returned from a collection operation. 
    # It is the last one you sent in.
    test.equal(mock.lastOptions.continuation, 'ABC123')

    test.done()
    

Here's an example of testing a stored procedure being forceably timed out by DocumentDB and then restarted by you:

  testTimeout: (test) ->
    firstBatch = [
      {id: 1, value: 10}
      {id: 2, value: 20}
    ]
    secondBatch = [
      {id: 3, value: 30}
      {id: 4, value: 40}
    ]
    mock.resourcesList = [firstBatch, secondBatch]

    firstOptions = {continuation: 'ABC123'}
    secondOptions = {}
    mock.optionsList = [firstOptions, secondOptions]

    mock.collectionOperationQueuedList = [true, false, true]

    mock.package.count()

    memo = mock.lastBody

    test.equal(memo.count, 2)
    test.equal(memo.continuation, 'ABC123')

    mock.package.count(memo)

    test.equal(memo.count, 4)

    test.done()
