[Cppcms-users] UnitTest

[Sab <rim...@gm...>]

Hi Artyom,

I would like to create a UnitTest for my REST-WebHandler classes. Thus, I 
would like to separately test these classes, without a running webserver and 
back engine. So I would like to simulate an incoming CppCMS request(), somehow 
fill header and body with simulated info, pass it to my processing function 
and then read the content of the response() without trying to send it back to 
the server to check if the result is as expected.

Any ideas, where I could start?

Unfortunately there is no such a feature you require.

On the other hand using internal HTTP web server would allow you to use
any HTTP client (libcurl from C++ for example) or any other language.

For example significant part CppCMS unit tests are written in Python using
urllib (IIRC).

Using the internal web server sounds actually like a good idea. I'm already 
using libcurl in my project so this combination could be an easy solution. 

Until now I only used the fcgi interface and the dispathcer of CppCMS so I 
have no experience yet about the server. Can you discribe in some words (or 
point me to example/tutorial), what the simplest way would be to set up the 
internal webserver for my unit tests?

Hi Artyom,

do you see any serious difficulties with introducing a test mode in CppCMS 
that would allow users to fill an http_request object "manually" in a test 
framework and pass it to a cppcms application class, simulating a request from 
a client? The application class could then fill the http_response object and 
pass it back to the test framework for result check. This would be a great way 
to test CppCMS application classes. Do you think, such a "test pad" could be 
integrated in a future release?

No, such a feature is not planned... If you want to implement it, you are more than welcome

Hi Sab,

I too found it useful to test against the application directly and took 
a leaf out of Artyom's tests, namely tc_test.cpp and the related 
dummy_api.h. I attached the cpp file. Feel free to start from there and 
to deliver feedback.

Cheers!
