Opium Testing

opium-testing provides helpers to easily test Opium applications with Alcotest.

Installation

To install opium-testing, you can add it to your dune-project's package stanza:

(package
 (name my_app)
 (depends
  (ocaml
   (>= 4.08))
  (dune
   (>= 2.0))
  rock
  (alcotest :with-test)
  (alcotest-lwt :with-test)
  (opium-testing :with-test)))

And let Dune generate the Opam file for you. Or you can add it directly to your .opam file:

depends: [
  "alcotest" {with-test}
  "alcotest-lwt" {with-test}
  "opium-testing" {with-test}
]

Usage

Here's a sample unit test that tests if the response is the one expected.

open Alcotest
open Lwt.Syntax
open Rock
open Opium_testing

let test_case n f = Alcotest_lwt.test_case n `Quick (fun _switch () -> f ())

let handle_request = handle_request My_app.app

let suite =
  [ ( "POST /create-user"
    , [ test_case "redirects to show when data is valid" (fun () ->
            let req =
              Request.of_json
                ~body:(`Assoc [ "name", `String "Tom" ])
                "/create-user"
                `POST
            in
            let+ res = handle_request req in
            check_status `Found res.status)
      ; test_case "renders errors when data is invalid" (fun () ->
            let req =
              Request.of_json
                ~body:(`Assoc [ "invalid-key", `String "invald-value" ])
                "/create-user"
                `POST
            in
            let+ res = handle_request req in
            check_status `Bad_request res.status;
            check_body_contains "Invalid data" res.body)
      ] )
  ]
;;
