Running autobahn-testsuite to validate remote server

I am struggling with how to run the Dockerized version of the autobahn-testsuite against a remote server and would appreciate some assistance.

Using Python 2 on Windows 10, I could just create a python virtualenv, activate, . pip install the test suite and then run wstest:

wstest -m fuzzingclient -s myfuzzingclient.json

Here is a nerfed copy of my myfuzzingclient.json file:

{
  "outdir": "./reports/servers",
  "servers": [
    {
      "agent": "AutobahnPython",
      "url": "ws://<myserver>.<mydomain.com>:<myport>/echo"
    }
  ],
  "cases": ["*"],
  "exclude-cases": [
    "9.*",
    "12.*",
    "13.*"
  ],
  "exclude-agent-cases": {}
}

Haven’t figured out how to run the equivalent to wstest using the Dockerized Python 3 autobahn-testsuite.

My environment:

  • Windows 10 Pro
  • Docker Desktop for Windows
  • Confirmed Docker runs. Confirmed I can build and run the Docker hello-world example
  • Switched Docker Desktop to use Linux container (and wait until ready)

Following the instructions on https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-testsuite I am able to use that Docker image as a local Web Sockets server and then run testee_client_aio.py client to validate.

Have not figured out how to verify against a remote server’s implementation of web sockets.

The instructions on the autobahn-testsuite home page about 60% of the way down says this:

The following recipe still works, but the new, recommended way is using a Docker toolchain image we provide. Please checkout [this] - much easier and repeatable.

That “this” link points to https://github.com/crossbario/crossbar-docker/tree/master/autobahn-testsuite#usage no longer works. Appears all content from crossbario/crossbar-docker on GitHub was removed.

Any assistance you can lend would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob

The current README.md documentation says that is doable but then points to an archived repo (i.e. crossbar-docker) on github, then shows a Python 2 example of how to use the test suite.

Does anyone still have a copy of the deleted documentation on how to use the Python 3 Docker image to do the equivalent of wstest -m fuzzingclient -s myfuzzingclient.json where myfuzzingclient.json points to a remote server?
