Plug v1.8.3 Plug.Test View Source
Conveniences for testing plugs.
This module can be used in your test cases, like this:
use ExUnit.Case, async: true
use Plug.Test
Using this module will:
- import all the functions from this module
- import all the functions from the
Plug.Conn
module
By default, Plug tests checks for invalid header keys, e.g. header keys which
include uppercase letters, and raises a Plug.Conn.InvalidHeaderError
when it finds one.
To disable it, set :validate_header_keys_during_test to false on the app config.
config :plug, :validate_header_keys_during_test, true

conn(method, path, params_or_body \\ nil)
View Sourceconn(String.Chars.t(), binary(), params()) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Creates a test connection.
The request method
and path
are required arguments. method
may be any
value that implements to_string/1
and it will properly converted and
normalized (e.g., :get
or "post"
).
The path
is commonly the request path with optional query string but it may
also be a complete URI. When a URI is given, the host and schema will be used
as part of the request too.
The params_or_body
field must be one of:
nil
- meaning there is no body;- a binary - containing a request body. For such cases,
:headers
must be given as option with a content-type; - a map or list - containing the parameters which will automatically set the content-type to multipart. The map or list may contain other lists or maps and all entries will be normalized to string keys;
Examples
conn(:get, "/foo?bar=10")
conn(:get, "/foo", %{bar: 10})
conn(:post, "/")
conn("patch", "/", "") |> put_req_header("content-type", "application/json")
delete_req_cookie(conn, key)
View Sourcedelete_req_cookie(Plug.Conn.t(), binary()) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Deletes a request cookie.
init_test_session(conn, session)
View Sourceinit_test_session(Plug.Conn.t(), %{required(String.t() | atom()) => any()}) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Initializes the session with the given contents.
If the session has already been initialized, the new contents will be merged with the previous ones.
Puts the http protocol.
Puts the peer data.
put_req_cookie(conn, key, value)
View Sourceput_req_cookie(Plug.Conn.t(), binary(), binary()) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Puts a request cookie.
recycle_cookies(new_conn, old_conn)
View Sourcerecycle_cookies(Plug.Conn.t(), Plug.Conn.t()) :: Plug.Conn.t()
Moves cookies from a connection into a new connection for subsequent requests.
This function copies the cookie information in old_conn
into new_conn
,
emulating multiple requests done by clients where cookies are always passed
forward, and returns the new version of new_conn
.
Return the informational requests that have been sent.
This function depends on gathering the messages sent by the test adapter when informational messages, such as an early hint, are sent. Calling this function will clear the informational request messages from the inbox for the process. To assert on multiple informs, the result of the function should be stored in a variable.
Examples
conn = conn(:get, "/foo", "bar=10")
informs = Plug.Test.sent_informs(conn)
assert {"/static/application.css", [{"accept", "text/css"}]} in informs
assert {"/static/application.js", [{"accept", "application/javascript"}]} in informs
Return the assets that have been pushed.
This function depends on gathering the messages sent by the test adapter when assets are pushed. Calling this function will clear the pushed message from the inbox for the process. To assert on multiple pushes, the result of the function should be stored in a variable.
Examples
conn = conn(:get, "/foo?bar=10")
pushes = Plug.Test.sent_pushes(conn)
assert {"/static/application.css", [{"accept", "text/css"}]} in pushes
assert {"/static/application.js", [{"accept", "application/javascript"}]} in pushes
Returns the sent response.
This function is useful when the code being invoked crashes and
there is a need to verify a particular response was sent even with
the crash. It returns a tuple with {status, headers, body}
.
