injectHTTPFaults
injectHTTPFaults injects HTTP faults in the requests served by a target Service.
Parameters | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
fault | object | description of the http faults to be injected |
duration | string | duration of the disruption |
options (optional) | object | options that control the injection of the fault |
Options
The injection of the fault is controlled by the following options:
Option | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
proxyPort | number | port the agent will use to listen for requests in the target pods ( default 8000 ) |
Note
When injecting faults you may find the following error message during the test execution:
WARN[0035] Request Failed error=“read tcp 172.18.0.1:43564->172.18.255.200:80: read: connection reset by peer”.
This is normal and means that one request was “in transit” at the time the faults were injected causing the request to fail due to a network connection reset.
Example
JavaScript
const fault = {
averageDelay: '50ms',
errorCode: 500,
errorRate: 0.1,
};
disruptor.injectHTTPFaults(fault, '30s');
