View Source Heyya.LiveCase (heyya v0.8.0)

Heyya.LiveCase module provides helper methods that make it easier to write a more linear live view test. It takes care of the fact that there's connection state, view state, and last html state.

It does this by creating a LiveTestSession struct via start/2 that holds the connection, view, and html in a single struct. This is wrapped in an CaseTemplate so that you can use it in your tests.

These ideas origionally came from: https://www.reddit.com/r/elixir/comments/ydyt2m/better_liveview_tests/

This implementation doesn't hide follow (in large part because of the ergonomics of follow_redirect being a macro)

Example

defmodule MyPhoenixWeb.ListLiveTest do
  use Heyya.LiveCase
  use MyPhoenixWeb.ConnCase

  test "widget list with new button", %{conn: conn} do
    start(conn, ~p|/widgets|)
    |> assert_html("Widgets List")
    |> click("a", "New Widgets")
    |> follow(~p|/widgets/new|)
  end
end

Summary

Functions

Asserts that the html in the LiveTestSession matches the provided expected html.

This method will use LiveViewTest.render_async to ensure that all outstanding async operations are completed. By default this will wait the ExUnit default timeout.

This method clicks on an element that's selected via selector then renders the result. Finally returning a new LiveTestSession with updated rendered html

Macro that creates code to follow a redirect. This takes in a LiveTestSession and will assert that a redirect exists.

Sets the form specified by the selector to a new value.

Refute that the html in the LiveTestSession matches the provided html string.

Macro that creates code to start a new LiveTestSession. This takes in a plug connection (Usually from your ConnTest)

Submits the form and renders the result of submitting.
