测试Catalyst REST API的最简单方法是什么？

Question

我正在使用Catalyst :: Controller :: REST构建RESTful Web服务.通常对于Web测试我使用Test :: WWW :: Mechanize,但这似乎更适合"GET/POST HTML RPC"测试.是否有任何测试模块可以使用基本身份验证来测试HTTP,使用GET/POST/PUT/DELETE等和JSON轻松？也许是与Catalyst/PSGI很好地集成的东西,所以我不必启动网络服务器？

Answer 1

Catalyst :: Test是LWP :: UserAgent的子类.以下应该给你正确的想法:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Test::More;
use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp';
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use JSON::Any; # or whatever json module you usually use
my $data = 'some_json_data_here';
my $res = request(
    POST '/some_path',
    Content_Type => 'text/xml',
    Content => $data,
);

my $content = json_decode($res->content); # or whatever, can't remember the interface.
my $expected = "some_data";
is_deeply ( $content, $expected);
