QaaS.Mocker 2.0.0-alpha.3

QaaS.Mocker

QaaS.Mocker runs configurable mock servers for QaaS workloads.

Supported protocols:

• Http / Https
• Grpc / Grpcs
• Socket
• Optional Redis controller API (ping + runtime commands)

Project Flow

1. Bootstrap.New(args) parses CLI options into MockerOptions.
2. MockerLoader builds InternalContext from YAML + overwrite files/arguments + env variables.
3. ExecutionBuilder validates config, loads hooks, builds:
   • Data sources
   • Transaction stubs
   • Server implementation (HttpServer, GrpcServer, or SocketServer)
   • Optional controller
4. Execution.Start() runs one mode:
   • Run: starts server (and controller when configured)
   • Lint: validates configuration/build path
   • Template: prints or writes a generated template YAML
5. Server state objects route incoming actions/RPCs/messages to transaction stubs and cache input/output for controller consume commands.

Hook loading uses QaaS provider modules (HooksLoaderModule<T>) and resolves hooks from loaded assemblies. This keeps processor integrations pluggable: you can add processors from YAML or by code configuration as long as the assembly containing those ITransactionProcessor implementations is available at runtime.

Solution Layout

• QaaS.Mocker: CLI, bootstrap, execution orchestration
• QaaS.Mocker.Stubs: stub factory + transaction stub execution
• QaaS.Mocker.Servers: HTTP/gRPC/socket servers and state routing
• QaaS.Mocker.Controller: Redis control handlers
• QaaS.Mocker.Example: runnable example configs/processors
• QaaS.Mocker.*.Tests: NUnit unit tests

Code Configuration

ExecutionBuilder supports code-first CRUD operations:

• Data sources: CreateDataSource, ReadDataSource, UpdateDataSource, DeleteDataSource
• Stubs: CreateStub, ReadStub, UpdateStub, DeleteStub
• Server/controller: Read*, Update*, Replace*, DeleteController

TransactionStubBuilder supports configuring processor hook names and configuration objects in code (Configure(object)).

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 10.0.x
• Docker Desktop (optional, for image build/run)
• dotnet dev-certs (included with .NET SDK) for local TLS example

Build And Test

dotnet restore QaaS.Mocker.sln
dotnet build QaaS.Mocker.sln -c Release -warnaserror
dotnet test QaaS.Mocker.sln -c Release --no-build

Run Example Without Any Script

No script is required.

1. Generate a dev certificate file expected by example YAML:

dotnet dev-certs https -ep QaaS.Mocker.Example/Certificates/devcert.pfx -p qaas-dev-cert

2. Trust the certificate (local machine):

dotnet dev-certs https --trust

3. Run HTTPS example:

cd QaaS.Mocker.Example
dotnet run --project . -- mocker.qaas.yaml

4. Verify endpoint:

curl -k https://localhost:8443/health

Run gRPC Example

cd QaaS.Mocker.Example
dotnet run --project . -- mocker.grpc.qaas.yaml

The gRPC service listens on localhost:50051 with TLS and exposes EchoService/Echo.

Build And Run Docker Image

1. Ensure QaaS.Mocker.Example/Certificates/devcert.pfx exists (see cert generation command above).
2. Build image:

docker build -t qaas-mocker-example .

3. Run image (default entrypoint uses mocker.qaas.yaml):

docker run --rm -p 8443:8443 qaas-mocker-example

CI / Publish

Workflow: .github/workflows/ci.yml

• Restores, builds with -warnaserror, and runs tests
• On tags: validates SemVer, packs QaaS.Mocker, pushes NuGet package
