Catalyst::Test - Test Catalyst Applications # Helper script/test.pl # Tests use Catalyst::Test 'TestApp'; request('index.html'); get('index.html'); use HTTP::Request::Common; my $response = request POST '/foo', [ bar => 'baz', something => 'else' ]; # Run tests against a remote server CATALYST_SERVER='http://localhost:3000/' prove -r -l lib/ t/ # Tests with inline apps need to use Catalyst::Engine::Test package TestApp; use Catalyst; sub foo : Global { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $c->res->output('bar'); } __PACKAGE__->setup(); package main; use Test::More tests => 1; use Catalyst::Test 'TestApp'; ok( get('/foo') =~ /bar/ ); This module allows you to make requests to a Catalyst application either without a server, by simulating the environment of an HTTP request using HTTP::Request::AsCGI or remotely if you define the CATALYST_SERVER environment variable. The </get> and </request> functions take either a URI or an HTTP::Request object.

METHODS

get
Returns the content. my $content = get('foo/bar?test=1'); Note that this method doesn't follow redirects, so to test for a correctly redirecting page you'll need to use a combination of this method and the request method below: my $res = request('/'); # redirects to /y warn $res->header('location'); use URI; my $uri = URI->new($res->header('location')); is ( $uri->path , '/y'); my $content = get($uri->path);

request
Returns a "HTTP::Response" object. my $res = request('foo/bar?test=1');

local_request
Simulate a request using HTTP::Request::AsCGI.

remote_request
Do an actual remote request using LWP. Catalyst, Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst, Test::WWW::Selenium::Catalyst, Test::More, HTTP::Request::Common Catalyst Contributors, see Catalyst.pm This program is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
