Daniel Nephin 0b5dfee00a state: use runCase pattern for large test
The TestServiceHealthEventsFromChanges function was over 1400 lines.
Attempting to debug test failures in test functions this large is
difficult. It requires scrolling to the line which defines the testcase
because the failure message only includes the line number of the
assertion, not the line number of the test case.

This is an excellent example of where test tables stop working well, and
start being a problem. To mitigate this problem, the runCase pattern can
be used. When one of these tests fails, a failure message will print the
line number of both the test case and the assertion. This allows a
developer to quickly jump to both of the relevant lines, signficanting
reducing the time it takes to debug test failures.

For example, one such failure could look like this:

    catalog_events_test.go:1610: case: service reg, new node
    catalog_events_test.go:1605: assertion failed: values are not equal

Consul CircleCI Discuss

Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.

Consul provides several key features:

  • Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.

  • Service Mesh/Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization. Applications can use sidecar proxies in a service mesh configuration to establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections without being aware of Connect at all.

  • Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.

  • Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.

  • Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.

Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.

Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
