Failiures

[pedromorgan]

This is a feature request as I am using to test a local email system, which is a webapp, with both qt/c++, mobile/phonegap and web interfaces...

Useful would be an option to make random or predictable failures happen, eg

• wrong pass
• wrong user
• long lag
• connection fail

This would be particularily useful to handle these errors on the client side..

-fails="all" (or credentials, lag, connect, et all)

OK, here's what I want as I am hacking away..

I am a little stuck with pylons framework (cos it still works here).. but the turbomail
is difficult to debug... recover/ reply to sended the eror et all

At the same time I am working on a go project, go-mail2ajax
that does this smtp and reads imap.. etc..

So ideally if I had in mailhog a:

Manually:

• ON/OFF = throw user name invalid error
• ON/OFF =throw password wrong error
• ON/OFF =lag letween 1 and 30 seco)
• ON/OFF = throw timeout
• ON/OFF = throw a silly error
  and
• so all the above stuff randomly around 1 in N eg 5

So as a dev, I dont need to change user name, and pass as part of test suite etc..
as MailHog is gonna throw these errors for me.. dont matter which app am developing..

Anyway.. thats the idea in my head..

Eg c+p from a project..
am creating spelling mistakes and calling a crash tantrum in py

##=============================================================
@jsonify
def sms_q(self):

    payload = dict(success = True)

    from random import randrange
    rany = randrange(0, 3)
    if rany == 2:
        throwatantruem


    json_str = h.v(request, "sssjson_payload")  
    if False: #json_str or request.method == "POST":

Added some initial support for this - have a look at JIM.md

I'll close this for now - feel free to open a new feature request if you need Jim to do more 😄
