NAME
HTTP::WebTest::SelfTest - Helper package for HTTP::WebTest test suiteSYNOPSIS
use HTTP::WebTest::SelfTest;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides helper routines used by HTTP::WebTest self test suite. Plugin writers may find this module useful for implementation of test suites for their plugins.GLOBAL VARIABLES
This module imports in namespace of test script following global variables.$HOSTNAME
The hostname of the test webserver.$PORT
The port of the test webserver.$URL
The URL of the test webserer.SUBROUTINES
This module imports in namespace of test script following helper subroutines.abs_url($base, $rel)
ReturnReturns absolute URL based on pair of base and relative URLs.
read_file($filename, $ignore_errors)
Reads a file.Parameters
- $filename
- Name of the file.
- $ignore_errors
- (Optional) If true then open file errors are ignored, otherwise they raise an exception. If omit defaults to true.
Returns
Whole content of the file as a string.
write_file($filename, $data)
Writes into a file.Parameters
- $filename
- Name of the file.
- $data
- Data to write into the file.
check_webtest(%params)
Runs a test sequence and compares output with a reference file.Parameters
- webtest => $webtest
- HTTP::WebTest object to be used for running the test sequence.
- tests => $tests
- The test sequence.
- tests => $opts
- The global parameters for the test sequence.
- out_filter => $out_filter
generate_testfile(%params)
Generates test file from template file. I.e. it replaces substring '<<SERVER_URL>>' with value of named parameter "server_url".Parameters
- file => $file
- Filename of test file. Template file is expected to be in file named "$file.in".
- server_url => $server_url
- Test webserver URL.
canonical_output(%params)
Some substrings in test output are unique for each test run. This subroutine "fixes" test output so it becomes repeatable (unless tests get broken).Parameters
- output_ref => $output_ref
- A reference on scalar which contains test output as whole string.
- out_filter => $out_filter
- An optional reference on subroutine which can be used as additional filter. It gets passed test output as its first parameter.
- server_url => $server_url
- Test webserver URL. Normally it is unique for each test run so it gets replaced with "http://http.web.test/".
- server_hostname => $server_hostname
- Test webserver URL. Normally it is unique for each machine where test is run so it gets replaced with "http.web.test".
compare_output(%params)
Tests if a test output matches content of specified reference file. If environment variable "TEST_FIX" is set then the test is always succeed and the content of the reference file is overwritten with current test output.Parameters
- output_ref => $output_ref
- A reference on scalar which contains test output as whole string.
- check_file => $check_file
- Filename of the reference file.
parse_basic_credentials($credentials)
Decodes credentials for Basic authorization scheme according RFC2617.Returns
Returns user/password pair.
DEPRECATED SUBROUTINES
This module imports in namespace of test script following helper subroutines but they are deprecated and may be removed in the future from this module.start_webserver
This subroutine was moved into HTTP::WebTest::Utils but for backward compatibility purposes can be exported from this module.stop_webserver
This subroutine was moved into HTTP::WebTest::Utils but for backward compatibility purposes can be exported from this module.COPYRIGHT
