1178396 - Create a standalone (cli) plugin unit test exe

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Metrics: Pipeline, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Trinkala [:trink]]

The tests should be specified as an array of test objects containing a descriptive name and an array of inputs and outputs (specified as Heka message tables). The inputs will all be passed to process_message and when complete the timer_event will be called and the outputs verified.  The tests will also be profiled showing the execution time, maximum memory, instructions, and output size.  

e.g.,
    {
        name = "string concatenation",
        inputs = {
            {ret = 0, msg = {Logger = "host1", Payload = "string1\n", Fields = {payload_type = "txt"}}},
            {ret = 0, msg = {Logger = "host2", Payload = "string2\n", Fields = {payload_type = "txt"}}},
        },
        outputs = {
            {Payload = "string1\nstring2\n", Fields = {payload_type = "txt"}},
        }
    },

Still important but making it unassigned since I am not actively working on it (it will be delayed a week or two by higher priority tasks)
