Testing with Mars

As Mars tries to achieve a more idiomatic approach to devloping web applications with Go as Revel does, unit tests are written using the standard Go testing package.

On top of this, Mars provides an easy to use TestSuite (github.com/mars/testing)[https://godoc.org/github.com/roblillack/mars/testing] which can be used like this:

package controllers

import (
    "os"
    "path/filepath"
    "runtime"
    "testing"
    "time"

    "github.com/roblillack/mars"
    marst "github.com/roblillack/mars/testing"
)

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
    setupMars()
    retCode := m.Run()
    os.Exit(retCode)
}

func setupMars() {
    _, filename, _, _ := runtime.Caller(0)

    RegisterControllers()
    mars.ViewsPath = filepath.Join("app", "views")
    mars.InitDefaults("dev", filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(filename), "..", ".."))
    mars.DevMode = true

    go mars.Run(0)

    time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
}

func Test_Health(t *testing.T) {
    ts := marst.NewTestSuite()
    ts.Get("/health")
    ts.AssertContains("Ok")
    ts.AssertOk()
}
