This is a alpha version of the testsuite. Rather then exchanging requests using an open port the server uses channels to exchange information. This requires the application compiled using Revel v0.20 or newer (This version splits the generated code into a separate file that can be run). Note websocket not supported in this version.
Sample Code file located in github.com/revel/examples/booking/app/controllers/app_test.go
package controllers_test
import (
"github.com/revel/examples/booking/app/tmp/run"
"testing"
"github.com/revel/modules/server-engine/gohttptest/testsuite"
)
func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
testsuite.RevelTestHelper(m, "dev",run.Run)
}
func TestIndex(t *testing.T) {
tester := testsuite.NewTestSuite(t)
tester.Get("/").AssertOk()
}The test consists of two parts, the first is the "helper" to start the Revel server in a new goroutine, the second is your test code.
To run from the command line you need to pass and args argument to
the go test command like the following
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out github.com/revel/examples/booking/app/controllers/ -args -revel.importPath=github.com/revel/examples/booking
