Utility functions to help writing tests for a Go-Json-Rest app

Go comes with net/http/httptest to help writing test for an http server. When this http server implements a JSON REST API, some basic checks end up to be always the same. This test package tries to save some typing by providing helpers for this particular use case.

package main

import (
        "github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest/rest"
        "github.com/ant0ine/go-json-rest/rest/test"
        "testing"
)

func TestSimpleRequest(t *testing.T) {
        api := rest.NewApi()
        api.Use(rest.DefaultDevStack...)
        router, err := rest.MakeRouter(
                rest.Get("/r", func(w rest.ResponseWriter, r *rest.Request) {
                        w.WriteJson(map[string]string{"Id": "123"})
                }),
        )
        if err != nil {
               log.Fatal(err)
        }
        api.SetApp(router)
        recorded := test.RunRequest(t, api.MakeHandler(),
                test.MakeSimpleRequest("GET", "http://1.2.3.4/r", nil))
        recorded.CodeIs(200)
        recorded.ContentTypeIsJson()
}
