About

hspec-snap is a library to allow you to write tests against Snap web applications in the context of an hspec test suite.

Usage

The basic usage is that within an hspec test suite, you can insert a block with snap, within which all of the normal spec organization tools work (describe, context, and it), but the content of the actual tests should be tests in the Snap context. These tests can make requests against your application, run arbitrary handler functions, and assert various HTTP statuses, content of HTML pages, or just plain unit tests. You can't mix in other types of tests within the snap block, and you can't share values between different unit tests (a unit test being what's inside an it), but you can have any number of snap blocks, and can make any number of assertions within a unit test block (from HSpec's perspective, though, it is just one test).

To get started, take a look at the test suite within the spec/ directory.

Examples

The easiest examples to look at are in the test suite in the spec/ directory.

Tests

You can run the test suite with stack test if you are using stack, or cabal test if not. When the robots last ran the suite, it:

hspec-snap's Issues

Dependencies on hspec < 2.1

I just built it against 2.1.4 and all the tests pass. Am I missing something here? This restriction is preventing hspec-snap from working with Stackage.

In case of Other status code return ResCode and Text body

If the response code is smaller than 300 or bigger than 400 is not able to make assertions over the text body from the response. Do you think it would be a good idea to look for something on the text on those responses?

beforeEval and afterEval trapping errors

Depend on hspec instead of hspec2

@dbp Hey, Hspec 2.0 is now official, so you can depend on hspec == 2.* instead of hspec2.

snap 1.0

Would you mind having a branch targeting snap 1.0? If you don't already have one in the works I can try to get it working and send a PR along with a script to grab the dependencies from github (until 1.0 gets released).

hspec-snap-0.3.2.7 can't compile its test suite because of missing modules

Citing from http://hydra.cryp.to/build/882874/nixlog/1/raw:

spec/Main.hs:60:18:
    Could not find module ‘Utils’
    Perhaps you meant Util (needs flag -package-key ghc-7.10.1)
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
