15 # Popcorn testing services
16 #
17 # ## Blackbox testing
18 #
19 # Popcorn allows you to test your apps using nitunit blackbox testing.
20 #
21 # With blackbox testing you compare the output of your program with a result file.
22 #
23 # To get started with blackbox testing, create a nitunit test suite and imports
24 # the `pop_tests` module.
25 #
26 # You then need to build the app that will be tested by nitunit as shown in the
27 # `test_example_hello` method.
28 # Calling `run_test` will automatically set the `host` and `port` used for testing.
29 #
30 # Redefine the `client_test` method to write your scenario.
31 # Here we use `curl` to access some URI on the app.
32 #
33 # ~~~nitish
34 # module test_example_hello is test
35 #
36 # import pop_tests
37 # import example_hello
38 #
39 # class TestExampleHello
40 # super TestPopcorn
41 # test
42 #
43 # fun example_hello is test do
44 # var app = new App
45 # app.use("/", new HelloHandler)
46 # run_test(app)
47 # end
48 #
49 # redef fun client_test do
50 # system "curl -s {host}:{port}"
51 # system "curl -s {host}:{port}/"
52 # system "curl -s {host}:{port}///////////"
53 # system "curl -s {host}:{port}/not_found"
54 # system "curl -s {host}:{port}/not_found/not_found"
55 # end
56 # end
57 # ~~~
58 #
59 # The blackbox testing needs a reference result file against wich the test output
60 # will be compared.
61 # Create your expected result file in `test_example_hello.sav/test_example_hello.res`.
62 #
63 # Test your app by running nitunit:
64 #
65 # ~~~bash
66 # nitunit ./example_hello.nit
67 # ~~~
68 #
69 # See `examples/hello_world` for the complete example.
