feat: update content_type_matching logic for binary payloads #429

YOU54F · 2024-05-28T22:40:07Z

fixes #171

Content Type - Detection Mechanisms for Binary Content

pact_matching now performs the following for matching Binary content-types

Determines expected Content-Type header requested by user in test
Read content buffer with infer library, and guess Content-Type based on magic bytes
If unsuccessful
1. Read content buffer with tree_magic_mini library, and guess Content-Type based on shared-mime-info DB
  1. MagicDB is not shipped with pact_matching, due to GPL restrictions, users can add manually
    1. Linux Alpine - apk add shared-mime-info
    2. MacOS brew install shared-mime-info
      1. arm64 MacOS requires tree_magic_mini fork
    3. Linux - Debianapt-get install -y shared-mime-info
If either result returns text/plain, then manually read bytes using detect_content_type_from_bytes function in pact_models
If all of 2, 3, or 4 fails, then throw error, otherwise return Ok

certainly better ways to implement this, but wanted to make sure I had a full round trip in all the consuming languages, and could remove the content-type hacks there.

The plus side is we have consistent behaviour in all of our test examples, on all supported platforms and architectures (win/lin/mac arm64 and amd64) without the use of tree_magic and the existence of shared-mime-info (which is great for container users, and great for avoiding GPL woes)

Rust libraries used:

https:/mbrubeck/tree_magic
- fork https:/you54f/tree_magic (for m1 support), PR raised
https:/bojand/infer
Explore (not used but worth a look at) - https:/ebassi/xdg-mime-rs

Questions

Do we need tree_magic_mini, I don't seem to hit that check in the wild
We probably want some vendored format examples that are harder to detect
Provide user full opt-out of content-type matching, in case of things going weird?

Notes to merger

will need updating in pact_mock_server (use of pact_matching) which is then used in this repo, so I believe we will need to build/release pact_matching to crates.io, update pact_mock_server, release, and then back to pact_ref to do the works there

Looks like infer will handle the most common types, but it has all the checks build in in Rust code, not config, so it is not extensible and will not be able to detect new types unless the crate is updated. So having tree_magic as a fallback is probably a good idea.

👋🏾 Tagged a few of you for review!

Always room for improvement on what is proposed but this gives us

consistent cross platform and cross arch content-type detection with the new crate for the existing raised issues
falls back to the existing behaviour we have today, with additional improvements to also add support for arm64 macos in the tree_magic_mini crate for shared-mime-info db lookups
improved debug logging, so we are aware of which content type lookups are being performed.

The compatibility suite has been updated to test cross platform (windows x86_64 + macos x86_64/arm64 ) and skipped tests for windows have been been re-instated 👍🏾

Happy to make any amendments, as I know this might not be the best solution, especially with respect to my coding style, or the overall (existing) approach to matching in this function, but please be reminded this is a massive improvement over our existing confusing behaviour, and we can always progress forwards.

Just a note, if you want to override a dependency, the easiest way is to use the [patch.crates-io] section in the workspace Cargo.toml

tienvx

LGTM.

I wonder: since this PR is merged, when can we revert custom changes related to the pact_mock_server?

I believe a new version has been released v3.1.5, and this fork is no longer needed

it has been yes! i need to update that comment to reflect, we are consuming 3.1.5 in here now

Two tests are failing on Windows: https:/pact-foundation/pact-reference/actions/runs/9295821959/job/25583357274

All good. Mock server is using the old pact matching. Updated it and ran the tests on Windows, all pass.
