📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe simulator validates URLs, checks report limits, authenticates with admin credentials, provisions one driver per vehicle, and sends bearer-authenticated reports. The Makefile and documentation support the authenticated local workflow. ChangesAuthenticated simulator workflow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The authenticated simulator can provision per-vehicle drivers and report under separate identities, but redirects may disclose admin credentials or vehicle tokens, and the smoke workflow currently fails against protected endpoints. These issues should be fixed before merge; the port and login-limit documentation inconsistencies should also be corrected. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The auth mechanics here are well built. I checked the login flow against the real handler and it matches on every axis — endpoint path, the {"email","password"} request shape, and the {"token"} response field. The bearerTransport RoundTripper is the right shape for this, the response body is closed and size-limited, and non-200 and empty-token responses are hard failures rather than something the simulator limps past. checkBaseURL refusing plain HTTP to non-loopback hosts is a nice touch I didn't ask for.
One blocker, and it's about whether the change achieves its goal rather than about the auth code itself.
All simulated vehicles share one identity, and the rate limiter is per-driver. login() runs once in main, and the single resulting token goes into one http.Client that every vehicle goroutine shares. Server-side, handlePostLocation keys the limiter on the JWT sub claim, and ratelimit.go builds rate.NewLimiter(rate.Every(5*time.Second), 1) — one report per five seconds, per user, burst 1.
So every simulated vehicle contends for a single bucket. make simulate runs 5 vehicles at a 3s interval for 30s, which attempts roughly 50 reports against a budget of about 7. The bare go run ./cmd/simulator defaults are worse: 10 vehicles, 10s interval, 5 minutes is around 300 attempts against about 60. The PR body's goal is that make simulate works with no extra steps, and as written it trades a 100% 401 failure rate for an ~85% 429 rate. The symptom changes; the simulator still mostly doesn't work.
The fix is one authenticated identity per simulated vehicle — register or seed N driver accounts and log each goroutine in separately, so each gets its own rate-limit bucket. That also makes the simulation more faithful, since real drivers are distinct users. If you'd rather keep a single account for now, the defaults need to fit inside the 5s-per-driver budget, and make simulate should be honest about only simulating one vehicle.
Two smaller things worth folding in while you're here:
docs/development.mddocumentsmake simulateand a custom-vehicles 20 -interval 2sinvocation with no mention of credentials. After this change bothlog.FatalunlessADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_*is set. You updated the Makefile help text; the dev guide needs the same.login()runs once andgenerateJWTissues a 24-hour token, so-duration 0(documented as "run until Ctrl+C") silently degrades to 100% 401s after a day. Fine to leave for a dev tool, but a comment noting it would save someone a confusing afternoon.
Happy to re-review as soon as the identity-per-vehicle piece is in.
POST /api/v1/locations is wrapped in requireAuth, but the simulator only ever set Content-Type, so every report came back 401 and `make simulate` reported 100% failures. Log in once via POST /api/v1/auth/login and attach the returned session token to each request with a RoundTripper, which keeps sendReport's signature unchanged. Credentials come from -email/-password, defaulting to ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_EMAIL and ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD so the same pair that bootstraps the admin also drives the simulator. Missing credentials or a failed login now exit with a clear message instead of starting N vehicles that all 401.
The simulator posts a password to /api/v1/auth/login and then puts the returned token on every report through bearerTransport. Against an http:// destination both go on the wire in cleartext. Reject plain HTTP before login, except for loopback: the default is http://localhost:8080 and that is how the simulator is normally run, so a blanket HTTPS requirement would break the tool for its actual use.
Every simulated vehicle uses the one token from the single login in main, and the server keys its limiter on the JWT sub at one report per 5s, so N vehicles contend for one bucket. make simulate ran 5 vehicles every 3s against a budget of about 6 reports in 30s, so most of the run was 429 counted as failed. The 401 storm the PR removed had become a 429 storm. Default to one vehicle every 6s, which fits the budget, and warn at startup whenever the requested rate cannot fit so the reason is visible rather than showing up as failures. Fixing this properly needs one account per vehicle, and there is no registration endpoint to create them with, so that is left alone.
The custom example ran 20 vehicles every 2s, which is 40x the one report per 5s the server allows for the single shared login.
handlePostLocation keys the rate limiter on the JWT sub claim and ratelimit.go allows one report per driver per 5 seconds, so the single login every vehicle shared put all of them in one bucket. make simulate had already been cut to one vehicle to fit that budget, which is not much of a simulation. The simulator now signs in as the admin it already required, creates one driver account per vehicle through POST /api/v1/admin/users, and logs each one in, so each vehicle reports under its own sub and gets its own allowance. make simulate goes back to 5 vehicles. Startup needs one login per vehicle and the server allows ten per IP per minute, so the logins are staggered and a 429 backs off and retries rather than failing the run, mirroring what cmd/ridersim already does for rider registration. reportBudgetWarning was built around the shared budget and warned whenever interval < vehicles * 5s. The budget is now per vehicle, so it warns only when the interval itself is faster than the per-driver allowance, and the vehicle count no longer enters into it. Also, per review: docs/development.md now covers the credentials and what the simulator does with them, and the note about tokens lasting 24h explains what -duration 0 runs into after a day.

bearerTransport sets Authorization inside RoundTrip, which the client runs again for every redirect hop. That defeats the cross-origin header stripping http.Client normally does, because the stripping applies to headers on the original request and this one is re-added afterwards. A redirect could therefore hand a driver's token, or the admin password on the login hop, to another host. Both the bootstrap client and the per-vehicle clients now refuse any redirect that changes scheme, host or port from the validated base URL. Default ports are made explicit first so http://h and http://h:80 compare equal. Two smaller corrections, both from review: - the login-limit note was off by one. The simulator's own admin login takes a slot, so ten vehicles is eleven logins and already meets the ten-per-IP-per-minute limiter rather than passing it. - make simulate honours PORT, matching make ridersim. It was still hardcoded to 8080. Signed-off-by: Om <omlahore47@gmail.com>

Hey, you were right about that. 457626d gives each vehicle its own driver account now, created through POST /api/v1/admin/users and logged in separately, so each one reports under its own sub. b956507 also moved make simulate off the 3s interval so the defaults fit the 5s budget, and loginWithRetry waits out the per-IP login limiter since a run over ten vehicles hits it. TestProvisionDriversGivesEachVehicleItsOwnIdentity checks the tokens come back distinct. Thanks. |
