DNS is never mocked in this repository: tests exercise live DNS,
and robustness comes from handling real-world DNS behavior with
tolerant assertions and sensible timeouts, not from mocks.
watcher: drop mockResolver and wire the real iterative resolver
into the tests, querying stable public names (example.com,
www.example.com). Change detection is exercised by seeding the
state store with a synthetic previous observation that live DNS
cannot match (reserved .invalid nameserver names and RFC 5737
documentation addresses); DNS stays live in every run. The port
checker, TLS checker, and notifier remain test doubles since they
are not DNS, keeping notification and state assertions
deterministic against whatever addresses live DNS returns.
resolver: drop the timeoutClient fake DNSClient and the
NewFromLoggerWithClient mock constructor. The timeout test is
replaced by a live query against an RFC 5737 documentation
address where no nameserver can exist, asserting a classified
non-OK response with no records.
TESTING.md: extend the live-DNS policy to every package and
remove the carve-out that permitted DNS mocks in packages that
consume the resolver.
TODO.md: update stale references to hermetic mocked-DNS work to
reflect the no-mocking policy and the current state of
feature/resolver.
Intentionally dropped coverage: the exact StatusTimeout
classification (previously forced by the fake client) is no
longer asserted, because a genuinely unreachable server may fail
fast instead of timing out depending on the network path; the
live test tolerantly accepts any failure classification.
Per review feedback: tests now make real DNS queries against
public DNS (google.com, cloudflare.com) instead of using a
mock DNS client. The DNSClient interface and mock infrastructure
have been removed.
- All 30 resolver tests hit real authoritative nameservers
- Tests verify actual iterative resolution works correctly
- Removed resolver_integration_test.go (merged into main tests)
- Context timeout increased to 60s for iterative resolution
- Extract DNSClient interface from resolver to allow dependency injection
- Convert all resolver methods from package-level to receiver methods
using the injectable DNS client
- Rewrite resolver_test.go with a mock DNS client that simulates the
full delegation chain (root → TLD → authoritative) in-process
- Move 2 integration tests (real DNS) behind //go:build integration tag
- Add NewFromLoggerWithClient constructor for test injection
- Add LookupAllRecords implementation (was returning ErrNotImplemented)
All unit tests are hermetic (no network) and complete in <1s.
Total make check passes in ~5s.
Closes#12
35 tests define the full resolver contract using live DNS queries
against *.dns.sneak.cloud (Cloudflare). Tests cover:
- FindAuthoritativeNameservers: iterative NS discovery, sorting,
determinism, trailing dot handling, TLD and subdomain cases
- QueryNameserver: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NXDOMAIN, per-NS
response model with status field, sorted record values
- QueryAllNameservers: independent per-NS queries, consistency
verification, NXDOMAIN from all NS
- LookupNS: NS record lookup matching FindAuthoritative
- ResolveIPAddresses: basic, multi-A, IPv6, dual-stack, CNAME
following, deduplication, sorting, NXDOMAIN returns empty
- Context cancellation for all methods
- Iterative resolution proof (resolves example.com from root)
Also adds DNSSEC validation to planned future features in README.
