# Combinators and types for testing Snap handlers.

## Types

data RequestBuilder m a

RequestBuilder is a monad transformer that allows you to conveniently build a snap `Request` for testing.

Instances

MonadTrans RequestBuilder |
Monad m => Monad (RequestBuilder m) |
MonadIO m => MonadIO (RequestBuilder m) |

type MultipartParams = [(ByteString, MultipartParam)]

A request body of type "`multipart/form-data`" consists of a set of named form parameters, each of which can by either a list of regular form values or a set of file uploads.

data MultipartParam

Constructors

FormData [ByteString] | a form variable consisting of the given `ByteString` values.
Files [FileData] | a file upload consisting of the given `FileData` values.

Instances

Show MultipartParam |

data FileData

Constructors

FileData |

Fields

fdFileName :: ByteString

  the file's name

fdContentType :: ByteString

  the file's content-type

fdContents :: ByteString

  the file contents

Instances

Show FileData |

data RequestType

The `RequestType` datatype enumerates the different kinds of HTTP requests you can generate using the testing interface. Most users will prefer to use the `get`, `postUrlEncoded`, `postMultipart`, `put`, and `delete` convenience functions.

Constructors

GetRequest |
RequestWithRawBody Method ByteString |
MultipartPostRequest MultipartParams |
UrlEncodedPostRequest Params |
DeleteRequest |

Instances

## Building Requests and testing handlers

buildRequest :: MonadIO m => RequestBuilder m () -> m Request

Runs a `RequestBuilder`, producing the desired `Request`.

runHandler

Arguments

:: MonadIO m |
=> RequestBuilder m () | a request builder
-> Snap a | a web handler
-> m Response |

Given a web handler in the `Snap` monad, and a `RequestBuilder` defining a test request, runs the handler, producing an HTTP `Response`.

### Convenience functions for generating common types of HTTP requests

get

Arguments

:: MonadIO m |
=> ByteString | request path
-> Params | request's form parameters
-> RequestBuilder m () |

Builds an HTTP "GET" request with the given query parameters.

postUrlEncoded

Arguments

:: MonadIO m |
=> ByteString | request path
-> Params | request's form parameters
-> RequestBuilder m () |

Builds an HTTP "POST" request with the given form parameters, using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" MIME type.

postMultipart

Arguments

:: MonadIO m |
=> ByteString | request path
-> MultipartParams | multipart form parameters
-> RequestBuilder m () |

Builds an HTTP "POST" request with the given form parameters, using the "form-data/multipart" MIME type.

put

Arguments

:: MonadIO m |
=> ByteString | request path
-> ByteString | request body MIME content-type
-> ByteString | request body contents
-> RequestBuilder m () |

Builds an HTTP "PUT" request.

postRaw

Arguments

:: MonadIO m |
=> ByteString | request path
-> ByteString | request body MIME content-type
-> ByteString | request body contents
-> RequestBuilder m () |

Builds a "raw" HTTP "POST" request, with the given MIME type and body contents.

delete

Arguments

:: MonadIO m |
=> ByteString | request path
-> Params | request's form parameters
-> RequestBuilder m () |

Builds an HTTP "DELETE" request with the given query parameters.

### Precise control over building Requests

addHeader :: Monad m => CI ByteString -> ByteString -> RequestBuilder m ()

Adds the given header to the request being built.

setContentType :: Monad m => ByteString -> RequestBuilder m ()

Sets the request's `content-type` to the given MIME type.

setHeader :: Monad m => CI ByteString -> ByteString -> RequestBuilder m ()

Sets the given header in the request being built, overwriting any header with the same name already present.

setHttpVersion :: Monad m => (Int, Int) -> RequestBuilder m ()

Sets the test request's http version

setQueryString :: Monad m => Params -> RequestBuilder m ()

Escapes the given parameter mapping and sets it as the request's query string.

setQueryStringRaw :: Monad m => ByteString -> RequestBuilder m ()

Sets the request's query string to be the raw bytestring provided, without any escaping or other interpretation. Most users should instead choose the `setQueryString` function, which takes a parameter mapping.

setRequestPath :: Monad m => ByteString -> RequestBuilder m ()

Sets the request's path. The path provided must begin with a "`/`" and must not contain a query string; if you want to provide a query string in your test request, you must use `setQueryString` or `setQueryStringRaw`. Note that `rqContextPath` is never set by any `RequestBuilder` function.

setRequestType :: MonadIO m => RequestType -> RequestBuilder m ()

Sets the type of the `Request` being built.

setSecure :: Monad m => Bool -> RequestBuilder m ()

Controls whether the test request being generated appears to be an https request or not.

# HUnit Assertions

assertSuccess :: Response -> Assertion

Given a Response, asserts that its HTTP status code is 200 (success).

assert404 :: Response -> Assertion

Given a Response, asserts that its HTTP status code is 404 (Not Found).

assertRedirectTo

Arguments

:: ByteString | The Response should redirect to this URI
-> Response |
-> Assertion |

Given a Response, asserts that its HTTP status code is between 300 and 399 (a redirect), and that the Location header of the Response points to the specified URI.

assertRedirect :: Response -> Assertion

Given a Response, asserts that its HTTP status code is between 300 and 399 (a redirect).

assertBodyContains

Arguments

:: ByteString | Regexp that will match the body content
-> Response |
-> Assertion |

Given a Response, asserts that its body matches the given regular expression.

# Getting response bodies

getResponseBody :: Response -> IO ByteString

# Dumping HTTP Responses

dumpResponse :: Response -> IO ()

Dumps the given response to stdout.

responseToString :: Response -> IO ByteString

Converts the given response to a bytestring.
