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. This module also adds a few catalyst specific testing methods as displayed in the method section.
The get and request functions take either a URI or an HTTP::Request object.
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);
Returns a HTTP::Response object. Accepts an optional hashref for request header configuration; currently only supports setting 'host' value.
my $res = request('foo/bar?test=1'); my $virtual_res = request('foo/bar?test=1', {host => 'virtualhost.com'});
Works exactly like request, except it also returns the Catalyst context object, $c. Note that this only works for local requests.
$c
Simulate a request using HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
Do an actual remote request using LWP.
Fetches the given URL and check that the request was successful
Fetches the given URL and check that the request was a redirect
Fetches the given URL and check that the request was not found
Fetches the given URL and matches the content against it.
Check for given MIME type
