webtest

go-webtest

features

• handling response by custom interface
• debug tracing when DEBUG=1
• snapshot testing (if update snapshot, SNAPSHOT=1 or SNAPSHOT=<golden file path>)
• json diff with https://github.com/nsf/jsondiff

examples

full test code is here, the test target handler is defined here

with webtest

import (
	"net/http"
	"testing"

	webtest "github.com/podhmo/go-webtest"
	"github.com/podhmo/go-webtest/jsonequal"
	"github.com/podhmo/go-webtest/tripperware"
	"github.com/podhmo/noerror"
)

func TestWithWebtest(t *testing.T) {
	c := webtest.NewClientFromHandler(http.HandlerFunc(Add))
	var want interface{}
	got, err := c.Post("/",
		webtest.WithJSON(bytes.NewBufferString(`{"values": [1,2,3]}`)),
		webtest.WithTripperware(
			tripperware.ExpectCode(t, 200),
			tripperware.GetExpectedDataFromSnapshot(t, &want),
		),
	)

	noerror.Must(t, err)
	defer func() { noerror.Must(t, got.Close()) }()
	noerror.Should(t,
		jsonequal.ShouldBeSame(
			jsonequal.From(got.JSONData()),
			jsonequal.From(want),
		),
	)
}

with try package (shortcut)

import (
	"net/http"
	"testing"

	webtest "github.com/podhmo/go-webtest"
	"github.com/podhmo/go-webtest/try"
)


func TestWithTry(t *testing.T) {
	c := webtest.NewClientFromHandler(http.HandlerFunc(Add))

	var want interface{}
	try.It{
		Code: 200,
		Want: &want,
		ModifyResponse: func(res webtest.Response) (got interface{}) {
			return res.JSONData()
		},
	}.With(t, c,
		"POST", "/",
		webtest.WithJSON(bytes.NewBufferString(`{"values": [1,2,3]}`)),
	)
}

If modify response is not needed, it is also ok, when the response does not include semi-random value (for example the value of now time).

c := webtest.NewClientFromHandler(http.HandlerFunc(Add))

var want interface{}
try.It{
	Code: 200,
	Want: &want,
}.With(t, c,
	"POST", "/",
	webtest.WithJSON(bytes.NewBufferString(`{"values": [1,2,3]}`)),
)

without-webtest (but snapshot testing)

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/json"
	"io/ioutil"
	"net/http"
	"net/http/httptest"
	"reflect"
	"testing"

	"github.com/podhmo/go-webtest/snapshot"
)

func TestWithoutWebtest(t *testing.T) {
	w := httptest.NewRecorder()
	req := httptest.NewRequest("POST", "/", bytes.NewBufferString(`{"values": [1,2,3]}`))
	req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")

	Add(w, req)
	res := w.Result()

	if res.StatusCode != 200 {
		b, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
		t.Fatalf("status code, want 200, but got %d\n response:%s", res.StatusCode, string(b))
	}

	var got interface{}
	decoder := json.NewDecoder(res.Body)
	if err := decoder.Decode(&got); err != nil {
		t.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	want := snapshot.Take(t, &got)
	if !reflect.DeepEqual(want, got) {
		t.Errorf(`want %s, but got %s`, want, got)
	}
}

the location of snapshot data

The snapshot data is saved in testdata/<test function name>.golden (e.g. testdata/TestHandler/try.golden) .

{
  "modifiedAt": "2019-09-07T21:40:30.70331035+09:00",
  "data": {
    "request": {
      "method": "POST",
      "path": "/"
    },
    "response": {
      "data": {
        "result": 6
      },
      "statusCode": 200
    }
  }
}
