=head1 NAME
Plack::Test - Test PSGI applications with various backends
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Plack::Test;
# named params
test_psgi
app => sub {
my $env = shift;
return [ 200, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ], [ "Hello World" ] ],
},
client => sub {
my $cb = shift;
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://localhost/hello");
my $res = $cb->($req);
like $res->content, qr/Hello World/;
};
use HTTP::Request::Common;
# positional params (app, client)
my $app = sub { return [ 200, [], [ "Hello "] ] };
test_psgi $app, sub {
my $cb = shift;
my $res = $cb->(GET "/");
is $res->content, "Hello";
};
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Plack::Test is an unified interface to test PSGI applications using
standard HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response objects. It also allows you
to run PSGI applications in various ways, by default using C<MockHTTP>
backend but can also use C<Server> backend, which uses one of
L<Plack::Handler> implementations to run the web server to do live HTTP
requests.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over 4
=item test_psgi
test_psgi $app, $client;
test_psgi app => $app, client => $client;
Runs the client test code C<$client> against a PSGI application
C<$app>. The client callback gets one argument C<$cb>, that is a
callback that accepts an HTTP::Request object and returns an
HTTP::Response object.
For the convenience, HTTP::Request given to the callback is
automatically adjusted to the correct protocol (I<http>) and host
names (I<127.0.0.1> by default), so the following code just works.
use HTTP::Request::Common;
test_psgi $app, sub {
my $cb = shift;
my $res = $cb->(GET "/hello");
};

=head1 OPTIONS
You can specify the L<Plack::Test> backend using the environment
variable C<PLACK_TEST_IMPL> or C<$Plack::Test::Impl> package variable.
The available values for the backend are:
=over 4
=item MockHTTP
(Default) Creates a PSGI env hash out of HTTP::Request object, runs
the PSGI application in-process and returns HTTP::Response.
=item Server
Runs one of Plack::Handler backends (C<Standalone> by default) and
sends live HTTP requests to test.
=item ExternalServer
Runs tests against an external server specified in the
C<PLACK_TEST_EXTERNALSERVER_URI> environment variable instead of spawning the
application in a server locally.
=back
For instance, you can test your application with C<ServerSimple> server backends with:
> env PLACK_TEST_IMPL=Server PLACK_SERVER=ServerSimple prove -l t/test.t
