NAME

       Dancer2::Test - Useful routines for testing Dancer2 apps

VERSION

       version 0.11

DESCRIPTION

       provides useful routines to test Dancer2 apps.

       $test_name is always optional.

FUNCTIONS

   dancer_response ($method, $path, $params, $arg_env);
       Returns a Dancer2::Core::Response object for the given request.

       Only $method and $path are required.

       $params is a hashref with 'body' as a string; 'headers' can be an arrayref or a
       HTTP::Headers object, 'files' can be arrayref of hashref, containing some files to upload:

           dancer_response($method, $path,
               {
                   params => $params,
                   body => $body,
                   headers => $headers,
                   files => [ { filename => '/path/to/file', name => 'my_file' } ],
               }
           );

       A good reason to use this function is for testing POST requests. Since POST requests may
       not be idempotent, it is necessary to capture the content and status in one shot. Calling
       the response_status_is and response_content_is functions in succession would make two
       requests, each of which could alter the state of the application and cause Schrodinger's
       cat to die.

           my $response = dancer_response POST => '/widgets';
           is $response->status, 202, "response for POST /widgets is 202";
           is $response->content, "Widget #1 has been scheduled for creation",
               "response content looks good for first POST /widgets";

           $response = dancer_response POST => '/widgets';
           is $response->status, 202, "response for POST /widgets is 202";
           is $response->content, "Widget #2 has been scheduled for creation",
               "response content looks good for second POST /widgets";

       It's possible to test file uploads:

           post '/upload' => sub { return upload('image')->content };

           $response = dancer_response(POST => '/upload', {files => [{name => 'image', filename => '/path/to/image.jpg'}]});

       In addition, you can supply the file contents as the "data" key:

           my $data  = 'A test string that will pretend to be file contents.';
           $response = dancer_response(POST => '/upload', {
               files => [{name => 'test', filename => "filename.ext", data => $data}]
           });

       You can also supply a hashref of headers:

           headers => { 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' }

   response_status_is ($request, $expected, $test_name);
       Asserts that Dancer2's response for the given request has a status equal to the one given.

           response_status_is [GET => '/'], 200, "response for GET / is 200";

   route_exists([$method, $path], $test_name)
       Asserts that the given request matches a route handler in Dancer2's registry.

           route_exists [GET => '/'], "GET / is handled";

   route_doesnt_exist([$method, $path], $test_name)
       Asserts that the given request does not match any route handler in Dancer2's registry.

           route_doesnt_exist [GET => '/bogus_path'], "GET /bogus_path is not handled";

   response_status_isnt([$method, $path], $status, $test_name)
       Asserts that the status of Dancer2's response is not equal to the one given.

           response_status_isnt [GET => '/'], 404, "response for GET / is not a 404";

   response_content_is([$method, $path], $expected, $test_name)
       Asserts that the response content is equal to the $expected string.

        response_content_is [GET => '/'], "Hello, World",
               "got expected response content for GET /";

   response_content_isnt([$method, $path], $not_expected, $test_name)
       Asserts that the response content is not equal to the $not_expected string.

           response_content_isnt [GET => '/'], "Hello, World",
               "got expected response content for GET /";

   response_content_like([$method, $path], $regexp, $test_name)
       Asserts that the response content for the given request matches the regexp given.

           response_content_like [GET => '/'], qr/Hello, World/,
               "response content looks good for GET /";

   response_content_unlike([$method, $path], $regexp, $test_name)
       Asserts that the response content for the given request does not match the regexp given.

           response_content_unlike [GET => '/'], qr/Page not found/,
               "response content looks good for GET /";

   response_content_is_deeply([$method, $path], $expected_struct, $test_name)
       Similar to response_content_is(), except that if response content and $expected_struct are
       references, it does a deep comparison walking each data structure to see if they are
       equivalent.

       If the two structures are different, it will display the place where they start differing.

           response_content_is_deeply [GET => '/complex_struct'],
               { foo => 42, bar => 24},
               "got expected response structure for GET /complex_struct";

   response_is_file ($request, $test_name);
   response_headers_are_deeply([$method, $path], $expected, $test_name)
       Asserts that the response headers data structure equals the one given.

           response_headers_are_deeply [GET => '/'], [ 'X-Powered-By' => 'Dancer2 1.150' ];

   response_headers_include([$method, $path], $expected, $test_name)
       Asserts that the response headers data structure includes some of the defined ones.

           response_headers_include [GET => '/'], [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ];

   route_pod_coverage()
       Returns a structure describing pod coverage in your apps

       for one app like this:

           package t::lib::TestPod;
           use Dancer2;

           =head1 NAME

           TestPod

           =head2 ROUTES

           =over

           =cut

           =item get "/in_testpod"

           testpod

           =cut

           get '/in_testpod' => sub {
               return 'get in_testpod';
           };

           get '/hello' => sub {
               return "hello world";
           };

           =item post '/in_testpod/*'

           post in_testpod

           =cut

           post '/in_testpod/*' => sub {
               return 'post in_testpod';
           };

           =back

           =head2 SPECIALS

           =head3 PUBLIC

           =over

           =item get "/me:id"

           =cut

           get "/me:id" => sub {
               return "ME";
           };

           =back

           =head3 PRIVAT

           =over

           =item post "/me:id"

           post /me:id

           =cut

           post "/me:id" => sub {
               return "ME";
           };

           =back

           =cut

           1;

       route_pod_coverage;

       would return something like:

           {
               't::lib::TestPod' => {
                   'has_pod'             => 1,
                   'routes'              => [
                       "post /in_testpod/*",
                       "post /me:id",
                       "get /in_testpod",
                       "get /hello",
                       "get /me:id"
                   ],
                   'undocumented_routes' => [
                       "get /hello"
                   ]
               }
           }

   is_pod_covered('is pod covered')
       Asserts that your apps have pods for all routes

           is_pod_covered 'is pod covered'

       to avoid test failures, you should document all your routes with one of the following:
       head1, head2,head3,head4, item.

           ex:

           =item get '/login'

           route to login

           =cut

           if you use:

           any '/myaction' => sub {
               # code
           }

           or

           any ['get', 'post'] => '/myaction' => sub {
               # code
           };

           you need to create pods for each one of the routes created there.

   import
       When Dancer2::Test is imported, it should be passed all the applications that are supposed
       to be tested.

       If none passed, then the caller is supposed to be the sole application to test.

           # t/sometest.t

           use t::lib::Foo;
           use t::lib::Bar;

           use Dancer2::Test apps => ['t::lib::Foo', 't::lib::Bar'];
