NAME

Catalyst::Test - Test Catalyst Applications

SYNOPSIS

     # Helper
     script/test.pl
 
     # Tests
     use Catalyst::Test 'TestApp';
     my $content  = get('index.html');           # Content as string
     my $response = request('index.html');       # HTTP::Response object
     my($res, $c) = ctx_request('index.html');   # HTTP::Response & context object
 
     use HTTP::Request::Common;
     my $response = request POST '/foo', [
         bar => 'baz',
         something => 'else'
     ];
 
     # Run tests against a remote server
     CATALYST_SERVER='http://localhost:3000/' prove -r -l lib/ t/
 
     # Tests with inline apps need to use Catalyst::Engine::Test
     package TestApp;
 
     use Catalyst;
 
     sub foo : Global {
             my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
             $c->res->output('bar');
     }
 
     __PACKAGE__->setup();
 
     package main;
 
     use Test::More tests => 1;
     use Catalyst::Test 'TestApp';
 
     ok( get('/foo') =~ /bar/ );
 
 

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.

The </get> and </request> functions take either a URI or an HTTP::Request object.

METHODS


$content = get( ... )


$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);
 
 

$res = request( ... );


$res = request( ... );

Returns a "HTTP::Response" object.

     my $res = request('foo/bar?test=1');
 
 

FUNCTIONS


($res, $c) = ctx_request( ... );


($res, $c) = ctx_request( ... );

Works exactly like "Catalyst::Test::request", except it also returns the catalyst context object, $c. Note that this only works for local requests.

$res = Catalyst::Test::local_request( $AppClass, $url );


$res = Catalyst::Test::local_request( $AppClass, $url );

Simulate a request using HTTP::Request::AsCGI.

$res = Catalyst::Test::remote_request( $url );


$res = Catalyst::Test::remote_request( $url );

Do an actual remote request using LWP.
