Testing

Dart already has fantastic testing support, through a library of that will make test writing faster. The following functions are exported by , and will make your testing much easier.

connectTo

This function will start app on an available port, and return a TestClient instance (based on ) configured to send requests to the server. The client also supports session manipulation.

main() {
  TestClient client;

  setUp(() async {
    client = await connectTo(myApp);
  });

  // Shut down server, and cancel pending requests
  tearDown(() => client.close());

  test('hello', () async {
    // The server URL is automatically prepended to paths.
    // This returns an http.Response. :)
    var response = await client.get('/hello');
  });
}

isJson

A Matcher that asserts that the given http.Response equals value when decoded as JSON. This uses test.equals internally, so anything that would pass that matcher passes this one.

hasStatus

A Matcher that asserts the given http.Response has the given status code.
