.. _install_tools_route_table_check_tool: Route table check tool ======================= The route table check tool checks whether the route parameters returned by a router match what is expected. The tool can also be used to check whether a path redirect, path rewrite, or host rewrite match what is expected. Usage router_check_tool [-t ] [-c ] [-d] [-p] [--] [--version] [-h] -t , --test-path Path to a tool config JSON file. The tool config JSON file schema is found in :ref:`config `. The tool config input file specifies urls (composed of authorities and paths) and expected route parameter values. Additional parameters such as additional headers are optional. Schema: All internal schemas in the tool are based on :repo:`proto3 `. This is enabled by an extra optional parameter ``--useproto``. This parameter will become the default in the future releases and enables more validation features in the tool. Any new feature addition in validations will be added behind this parameter. Migration: If you are currently using the tool and plan to migrate to use ``--useproto``, change the yaml/json test's schema based on the :repo:`proto `. Few known changes necessary are: ``:authority`` input is now ``authority``. ``:path`` input is now ``path``. ``:method`` input is now ``method``. This is a required property. ``additional_headers``, ``header_fields`` and ``custom_header_fields`` contain ``key`` instead of ``field``. ``tests`` is a root level field in the yaml/json. -c , --config-path Path to a v2 router config file (YAML or JSON). The router config file schema is found in :ref:`config ` and the config file extension must reflect its file type (for instance, .json for JSON and .yaml for YAML). -d, --details Show detailed test execution results. The first line indicates the test name. -p, --useproto Use Proto test file schema -h, --help Displays usage information and exits. (accepted multiple times) If you haven't migrated to the proto schema, the binary accepts the paths to the router config file and the tool config JSON file in that particular order. The ``--details`` parameter can be appended at the end to show the detailed test results. Output The program exits with status EXIT_FAILURE if any test case does not match the expected route parameter value. If a test fails, details of the failed test cases are printed if ``-details`` flag is provided. The first field is the expected route parameter value. The second field is the actual route parameter value. The third field indicates the parameter that is compared. In the following example, Test_2 and Test_5 failed while the other tests passed. In the failed test cases, conflict details are printed. :: Test_1 Test_2 default other virtual_host_name Test_3 Test_4 Test_5 locations ats cluster_name Test_6 Building The tool can be built locally using Bazel. :: bazel build //test/tools/router_check:router_check_tool Running Examples :: bazel-bin/test/tools/router_check/router_check_tool router_config.(yaml|json) tool_config.json bazel-bin/test/tools/router_check/router_check_tool router_config.(yaml|json) tool_config.json --details bazel-bin/test/tools/router_check/router_check_tool -c router_config.(yaml|json) -t tool_config.json --details --useproto Testing A bash shell script test can be run with bazel. The test compares routes using different router and tool configuration files. The configuration files can be found in test/tools/router_check/test/config/... . :: bazel test //test/tools/router_check/...
