Rack::Test src="https://codeclimate.com/badge.png" />[https://codeclimate.com/github/brynary/rack-test]

Description

Rack::Test is a small, simple testing API for Rack apps. It can be used on its own or as a reusable starting point for Web frameworks and testing libraries to build on. Most of its initial functionality is an extraction of Merb 1.0's request helpers feature.

Features

  • Maintains a cookie jar across requests
  • Easily follow redirects when desired
  • Set request headers to be used by all subsequent requests
  • Small footprint. Approximately 200 LOC

Example

require "rack/test"

class HomepageTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
include Rack::Test::Methods

def app
  MyApp.new
end

def test_redirect_logged_in_users_to_dashboard
  authorize "bryan", "secret"
  get "/"
  follow_redirect!

  assert_equal "http://example.org/redirected", last_request.url
  assert last_response.ok?
end

end
