# Protevus Test ![Pub Version (including pre-releases)](https://img.shields.io/pub/v/angel3_test?include_prereleases) [![Null Safety](https://img.shields.io/badge/null-safety-brightgreen)](https://dart.dev/null-safety) [![Discord](https://img.shields.io/discord/1060322353214660698)](https://discord.gg/3X6bxTUdCM) [![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/dart-backend/protevus)](https://github.com/dart-backend/protevus/tree/master/packages/test/LICENSE) Testing utility library for Protevus framework. ## TestClient The `TestClient` class is a custom `angel3_client` that sends mock requests to your server. This means that you will not have to bind your server to HTTP to run. Plus, it is an `angel3_client`, and thus supports services and other goodies. The `TestClient` also supports WebSockets. WebSockets cannot be mocked (yet!) within this library, so calling the `websocket()` function will also bind your server to HTTP, if it is not already listening. The return value is a `WebSockets` client instance (from [`package:angel3_websocket`]()); ```dart var ws = await client.websocket('/ws'); ws.service('api/users').onCreated.listen(...); // To receive all blobs of data sent on the WebSocket: ws.onData.listen(...); ``` ## Matchers Several `Matcher`s are bundled with this package, and run on any `package:http` `Response`, not just those returned by Angel. ```dart void test('foo', () async { var res = await client.get('/foo'); expect(res, allOf([ isJson({'foo': 'bar'}), hasStatus(200), hasContentType(ContentType.JSON), hasContentType('application/json'), hasHeader('server'), // Assert header present hasHeader('server', 'protevus'), // Assert header present with value hasHeader('foo', ['bar', 'baz']), // ... Or multiple values hasBody(), // Assert non-empty body hasBody('{"foo":"bar"}') // Assert specific body ])); }); void test('error', () async { var res = await client.get('/error'); expect(res, isAngelHttpException()); expect(res, isAngelHttpException(statusCode: 404, message: ..., errors: [...])) // Optional }); ``` `hasValidBody` is one of the most powerful `Matcher`s in this library, because it allows you to validate a JSON body against a validation schema. Protevus provides a comprehensive [validation library]() that integrates tightly with the `matcher` package that you already use for testing. ```dart test('validate response', () async { var res = await client.get('/bar'); expect(res, hasValidBody(Validator({ 'foo': isBoolean, 'bar': [isString, equals('baz')], 'age*': [], 'nested': someNestedValidator }))); }); ```
