apitest package
The apitest package provides methods for testing client-server communication.
It can be used to test http.Handler and build assertions on HTTP responses (status, headers, body).
Example
package yours
import (
"net/http"
"testing"
"github.com/muonsoft/api-testing/apitest"
"github.com/muonsoft/api-testing/assertjson"
)
func TestYourAPI(t *testing.T) {
handler := http.HandlerFunc(func(writer http.ResponseWriter, request *http.Request) {
writer.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
writer.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
writer.Write([]byte(`{"ok":true}`))
})
// HandleGET builds and sends GET request to handler
response := apitest.HandleGET(t, handler, "/example")
response.IsOK()
response.HasContentType("application/json")
response.HasJSON(func(json *assertjson.AssertJSON) {
json.Node("ok").IsTrue()
})
response.Print() // prints response with headers and body
response.PrintJSON() // prints response with headers and indented JSON body
}
assertjson package
The assertjson package provides fluent assertions for JSON values. Nodes are selected via JSON Pointer or path elements. Supports strings, numbers, arrays, objects, UUID, email, URL, time, and JWT.
Example
package yours
import (
"net/http/httptest"
"testing"
"github.com/muonsoft/api-testing/assertjson"
)
func TestYourAPI(t *testing.T) {
recorder := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler := newHTTPHandler()
request := httptest.NewRequest("GET", "/content", nil)
handler.ServeHTTP(recorder, request)
assertjson.Has(t, recorder.Body.Bytes(), func(json *assertjson.AssertJSON) {
json.Node("nullNode").Exists()
json.Node("notExistingNode").DoesNotExist()
json.Node("stringNode").IsString().EqualTo("stringValue")
json.Node("integerNode").IsInteger().EqualTo(123)
json.Node("objectNode").EqualJSON(`{"objectKey": "objectValue"}`)
json.Node("bookstore", "books", 1, "name").IsString().EqualTo("Green book")
json.Node("bookstore", "books", 1).Print() // debug helper
})
}
JSON Lines (NDJSON): use LinesHas or Lines(t, data).Has(...) to assert over multiple JSON objects, one per line:
assertjson.LinesHas(t, body, func(lines *assertjson.AssertJSONLines) {
lines.At(0).Node("id").EqualToTheInteger(1)
lines.At(0).Node("name").EqualToTheString("Alice")
lines.At(1).Node("role").EqualToTheString("admin")
lines.WithLength(2)
})
Подробные примеры по темам (строки, числа, массивы, объекты, UUID, время, JWT и др.) — в EXAMPLES.md. Полный API — pkg.go.dev/github.com/muonsoft/api-testing/assertjson.
assertxml package
The assertxml package provides methods for testing XML values. Nodes are selected via XML Path syntax.
Example
package yours
import (
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
"testing"
"github.com/muonsoft/api-testing/assertxml"
)
func TestYourAPI(t *testing.T) {
recorder := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler := createHTTPHandler()
request, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "/content", nil)
handler.ServeHTTP(recorder, request)
assertxml.Has(t, recorder.Body.Bytes(), func(xml *assertxml.AssertXML) {
// common assertions
xml.Node("/root/stringNode").Exists()
xml.Node("/root/notExistingNode").DoesNotExist()
// string assertions
xml.Node("/root/stringNode").EqualToTheString("stringValue")
})
}
