Scout

A sample repo showcasing PhoenixTest tests.

How code was created

The code in the project was created with Phoenix generators.

The users resources use regular (non-liveview) pages and controllers. The code was generated with:

mix phx.gen.html Accounts User users name:string age:integer active_at:datetime

The posts resources use LiveView. The code was generated with:

mix phx.gen.live Timeline Post posts body:string draft:boolean published_date:date

Generated tests and PhoenixTest tests

We created counterpart tests to showcase how equivalent tests would look with PhoenixTest.

The comparison isn't 1-1 since controller tests cannot test interactivity but PhoenixTests can. That's just one of the things that makes PhoenixTest so great!
