Overwriting Fields in iRule about testcl HOT 5 OPEN

@landro hope that this can help elaborate on why it would be a useful feature 🙂

irule.tcl

rule simple {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if {[class match [getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri] equals dg_redirect_map]} {
            set redirect_url [class match -value -- [getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri] equals dg_redirect_map]
            HTTP::uri $redirect_url
            pool pool_traefik
        }
    }
}

test.tcl

package require -exact testcl 1.0.13
namespace import ::testcl::*

it "should rewrite HTTP::uri when matching key of datagroup" {
    class configure dg_redirect_map {
        "sport.blargh.com/video" "/section/video"
    }

    event HTTP_REQUEST
    on HTTP::host return "sport.blargh.com:80"
    on HTTP::uri return "/video"
    on pool pool_traefik return ""
    verify "the URI should be rewritten" "/section/video" eq {HTTP::uri}
    run irule.tcl simple
}

Why would you try to mock out the uri when your're actually hardcoding it? That doesn't make any sense to me. Could you please elaborate on the use case for this?

from testcl.

One use-case that I have is that if a certain HTTP::uri is given we want to rewrite the uri to another value

Thanks for providing this example @ernst-at-tv2 !

figured out that I can actually test this if I do HTTP::uri "/video" in the test.tcl file, i.e. if I remove the on and return

I'm a bit puzzled as to what the difference between doing it like this is? I've hit another snag where I'm testing HTTP::path and that only works when I set HTTP::uri "/video" it won't work with on HTTP::uri return "/video" which wrongly returns / instead of /video

It might be a separate issue, just wanted to mention it.
