NAME

       Plack::Test::AnyEvent - Run Plack::Test on AnyEvent-based PSGI applications

VERSION

       version 0.08

SYNOPSIS

         use HTTP::Request::Common;
         use Plack::Test;

         $Plack::Test::Impl = 'AnyEvent'; # or 'AE' for short

         test_psgi $app, sub {
           my ( $cb ) = @_;

           my $res = $cb->(GET '/streaming-response');
           is $res->header('Transfer-Encoding'), 'chunked';
           $res->on_content_received(sub {
               my ( $content ) = @_;

               # test chunk of streaming response
           });
           $res->recv;
         }

DESCRIPTION

       This Plack::Test implementation allows you to easily test your AnyEvent-based PSGI
       applications.  Normally, Plack::Test::MockHTTP or Plack::Test::Server work fine for this,
       but this implementation comes in handy when you'd like to test your streaming results as
       they come in, or if your application uses long-polling.  For non-streaming requests, you
       can use this module exactly like Plack::Test::MockHTTP; otherwise, you can set up a
       content handler and call "$res->recv".  The event loop will then run until the PSGI
       application closes its writer handle or until your test client calls "send" on the
       response.

FUNCTIONS

   test_psgi
       This function behaves almost identically to "test_psgi" in Plack::Test; the main
       difference is that the returned response object supports a few additional methods on top
       of those normally found in an HTTP::Response object:

       $res->recv

       Calls "recv" on an internal AnyEvent condition variable.  Use this after you get the
       response object to run the event loop.

       $res->send

       Calls "send" on an internal AnyEvent condition variable.  Use this to stop the event loop
       when you're done testing.

       $res->on_content_received($cb)

       Sets a callback to be called when a chunk is received from the application.  A single
       argument is passed to the callback; namely, the chunk itself.

EXCEPTION HANDLING

       As of version 0.02, this module handles uncaught exceptions thrown by your code.  If the
       exception occurs before your PSGI application returns a response, or directly in the
       response subroutine ref (if you return a subroutine as your application's response), $cb
       will propagate the exception.  Otherwise, the exception is propagated by "$res->recv".
       Here's an example:

         my $app = sub {
           die 'thrown by $cb';

           return sub {
               my ( $respond ) = @_;

               die 'still thrown by $cb';

               if($streaming) {
                   my $writer = $respond->([
                       200,
                       ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'],
                   ]);

                   die 'still thrown by $cb';

                   my $timer;
                   $timer = AnyEvent->timer(
                       after => 2,
                       cb    => sub {
                           die 'thrown by $res->recv';
                           $writer->write("Ok");
                           $writer->close;
                           undef $timer;
                       },
                   );
               } else {
                   $respond->([
                       200,
                       ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'],
                       ['Ok'],
                   ]);

                   die 'still thrown by $cb';
               }
           };
         };

         test_psgi $app, sub {
           my ( $cb ) = @_;

           my $res = $cb->(GET '/');

           $res->on_content_received(sub {
               ...
           });

           $res->recv;
         };

       Note: The exception handling code may or may not work with your event loop.  Please run
       the tests in this distribution with "PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL" in AnyEvent set to see if it
       works with your event loop of choice.  Patches will be accepted to accommodate loops, as
       long as it doesn't break known good ones.  The known good event loops are:

       Default
       Cocoa
       EV
       Event
       Glib
       Perl

       This list isn't exclusive; ie. just because your event loop isn't on this list doesn't
       mean it doesn't work.  Also, even if your event loop doesn't pass the exception tests, the
       general usage of this module (testing requests, handling streaming results and long
       polling) should work on any AnyEvent loop.  Just don't throw any uncaught exceptions =).
