DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to make requests to a Catalyst application either without a server, by simulating the environment of an HTTP request using HTTP::Request::AsCGI or remotely if you define the CATALYST_SERVER environment variable. This module also adds a few Catalyst-specific testing methods as displayed in the method section.The get and request functions take either a URI or an HTTP::Request object.
INLINE TESTS WILL NO LONGER WORK
While it used to be possible to inline a whole test app into a ".t" file for a distribution, this will no longer work.The convention is to place your Catalyst test apps into "t/lib" in your distribution. E.g.: "t/lib/TestApp.pm", "t/lib/TestApp/Controller/Root.pm", etc.. Multiple test apps can be used in this way.
Then write your ".t" files like so:
use strict;
use warnings;
use FindBin '$Bin';
use lib "$Bin/lib";
use Test::More tests => 6;
use Catalyst::Test 'TestApp';
METHODS
$content = get( ... )
Returns the content.
my $content = get('foo/bar?test=1');
Note that this method doesn't follow redirects, so to test for a correctly redirecting page you'll need to use a combination of this method and the request method below:
my $res = request('/'); # redirects to /y
warn $res->header('location');
use URI;
my $uri = URI->new($res->header('location'));
is ( $uri->path , '/y');
my $content = get($uri->path);
Note also that the content is returned as raw bytes, without any attempt to decode it into characters.
$res = request( ... );
Returns an HTTP::Response object. Accepts an optional hashref for request header configuration; currently only supports setting 'host' value.
my $res = request('foo/bar?test=1');
my $virtual_res = request('foo/bar?test=1', {host => 'virtualhost.com'});
Alternately, you can pass in an HTTP::Request::Common object to set arbitrary request headers.
my $res = request(GET '/foo/bar',
X-Foo => 'Bar',
Authorization => 'Bearer JWT_HERE',
...
);
($res, $c) = ctx_request( ... );
Works exactly like request, except it also returns the Catalyst context object, $c. Note that this only works for local requests.action_ok($url [, $test_name ])
Fetches the given URL and checks that the request was successful. An optional second argument can be given to specify the name of the test.action_redirect($url [, $test_name ])
Fetches the given URL and checks that the request was a redirect. An optional second argument can be given to specify the name of the test.action_notfound($url [, $test_name ])
Fetches the given URL and checks that the request was not found. An optional second argument can be given to specify the name of the test.content_like( $url, $regexp [, $test_name ] )
Fetches the given URL and returns whether the content matches the regexp. An optional third argument can be given to specify the name of the test.contenttype_is($url, $type [, $test_name ])
Verify the given URL has a content type of $type and optionally specify a test name.SEE ALSO
