esl/escalus

Escalus is an Erlang library designed for testing XMPP servers by providing a framework to create test stories, manage client connections, and assert on XML stanzas. It supports various connection transports and authentication mechanisms, integrating with Common Test to facilitate robust integration testing. The system includes utilities for stanza construction and parsing, along with configuration tools and test suites to verify its own functionality.

A new shell script named log-to-jumplist has been added to the scripts directory. This tool processes log output (specifically targeting Erlang/Elixir-style INFO REPORTs and file/line references) to format it for easy navigation in Vim, allowing users to jump directly to relevant test files and line numbers.

Escalus is introduced as a new Erlang library for testing XMPP servers, providing a framework for creating test stories, managing client connections, and asserting on XML stanzas. The release includes core modules for connection handling (TCP, BOSH, WebSockets), authentication mechanisms (PLAIN, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA-1/256/384/512, X-OAUTH, Anonymous), and user management. It integrates with Common Test and exposes utilities for stanza construction, parsing, and verification, enabling users to write robust integration tests for XMPP-based services.

Added \escalus.hrl\ and \escalus\_xmlns.hrl\ to the project's include directory. The new \escalus.hrl\ defines the \\#client\ record structure used to manage client state, including JID, module, and process identifiers. The \escalus\_xmlns.hrl\ file introduces a comprehensive set of macros for XMPP and XEP namespaces (such as MUC, PubSub, SASL, and Stream Management), providing standardized constants for protocol interactions.

A new Escalus-specific configuration file (priv/escalus.config) has been added to define test user accounts (alice, bob, carol, kate, mike, geralt) and their connection settings, including specific transports like BOSH and WebSocket for certain users.

priv · high confidence

Added new Common Test and EUnit suites to verify escalus functionality: \checkmetrics\_SUITE\ tests metric change scope validation; \component\_SUITE\ tests component PID registration, message handling, and info callbacks; \connection\_SUITE\ tests stanza waiting, timeouts, metadata retrieval, and predicate-based filtering; \escalus\_fresh\_SUITE\ tests fresh user table creation and cleanup; \escalus\_stanza\_SUITE\ tests XML snippet template parsing with various argument types; \escalus\_tcp\_tests\ tests stream management stanza forwarding; \regressions\_SUITE\ tests timeout catching, error handling, stanza peeking, and metadata retrieval; \user\_db\_module\_SUITE\ tests user database module lifecycle; and \csvkv\_tests\ tests CSV key-value parsing. Also added \example\_SUITE\ as a basic messaging story example and \test.config\ for test environment configuration.
