Rocket/lib/src/testing.rs

//! A tiny module for testing Rocket applications.
//!
//! # Enabling
//!
//! The `testing` module is only available when Rocket is compiled with the
//! `testing` feature flag. The suggested way to enable the `testing` module is
//! through Cargo's `[dev-dependencies]` feature which allows features (and
//! other dependencies) to be enabled exclusively when testing/benchmarking your
//! application.
//!
//! To compile Rocket with the `testing` feature for testing/benchmarking, add
//! the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dev-dependencies]
//! rocket = { version = "*", features = ["testing"] }
//! ```
//!
//! Then, in your testing module, `use` the testing types. This typically looks
//! as follows:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[cfg(test)]
//! mod test {
//!   use super::rocket;
//!   use rocket::testing::MockRequest;
//!   use rocket::http::Method::*;
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! The testing methadology is simple:
//!
//!   1. Construct a `Rocket` instance.
//!   2. Construct a request.
//!   3. Dispatch the request using the Rocket instance.
//!   4. Inspect, validate, and verify the response.
//!
//! ## Construct a `Rocket` Instance
//!
//! Constructing a `Rocket` instance for testing is identical to constructing
//! one for launching, except you should not call the `launch` method. That is,
//! use `rocket::ignite`, then mount routes and catchers. That's it!
//!
//! ## Construct a (Mock)Request
//!
//! The [MockRequest](struct.MockRequest.html) object enables the creation of an
//! HTTP request without using any networking. A `MockRequest` object is
//! constructed using the builder pattern. For example, the following code
//! builds a request for submitting a login form with three fields:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use rocket::http::Method::*;
//! # use rocket::testing::MockRequest;
//! # use rocket::http::ContentType;
//! let (username, password, age) = ("user", "password", 32);
//! MockRequest::new(Post, "/login")
//!     .header(ContentType::Form)
//!     .body(&format!("username={}&password={}&age={}", username, password, age));
//! ```
//!
//! ## Dispatch and Validate
//!
//! Finally, requests can be dispatched using the
//! [dispatch_with](struct.MockRequest.html#method.dispatch_with) method on the
//! contructed `MockRequest` instance. The method returns the body of the
//! response. At present, the API does not allow for headers in the response to
//! be examined.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! The following is an example of a complete application with testing.
//!
//! ```rust
//! #![feature(plugin)]
//! #![plugin(rocket_codegen)]
//!
//! extern crate rocket;
//!
//! #[get("/")]
//! fn hello() -> &'static str {
//!     "Hello, world!"
//! }
//!
//! # fn main() {  }
//! #[cfg(test)]
//! mod test {
//!     use super::rocket;
//!     use rocket::testing::MockRequest;
//!     use rocket::http::Method::*;
//!
//!     #[test]
//!     fn test_hello_world() {
//!         let rocket = rocket::ignite().mount("/", routes![super::hello]);
//!         let mut req = MockRequest::new(Get, "/");
//!         let mut response = req.dispatch_with(&rocket);
//!
//!         // Write the body out as a string.
//!         let body_str = response.body().and_then(|b| b.into_string());
//!
//!         // Check that the body contains what we expect.
//!         assert_eq!(body_str, Some("Hello, world!".to_string()));
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
