Testing webpy applications
Python Paste has a wsgi wrapper that intercepts requests to your application and enables you to test for the correct responses/status codes etc. Here's a simple example (making sure the helloworld app works correctly).
import web
urls = (
'/(.*)', 'hello' )
class hello:
def GET(self, name):
i = web.input(times=1)
if not name: name = 'world' for c in xrange(int(i.times)):
web.output('Hello,' + name+'!') # you must use web.output
# instead of print
#if __name__ == "__main__": web.run(urls) # don't run as usual
from paste.fixture import TestApp, TestResponse
from web import webpyfunc, wsgifunc
middleware = []
app = wsgifunc(webpyfunc(urls, globals()), *middleware)
app = TestApp(app)
r = app.get("/")
assert "Hello" in r
