server-test

Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Procedures

High level interface

with-test-server

with-test-server server-thunk tests-thunkprocedure

Start the server by executing server-thunk, run the tests (tests-thunk) and stop the server.

Here's a usage example with the awful, test and http-client eggs:

The awful application to be tested:

(use awful)

(define-page "/foo"
  (lambda ()
    "foo")
  no-template: #t)

The test program:

(use server-test awful http-client test)

;; The awful application to be tested
(awful-apps (list "foo.scm"))

(with-test-server
 (lambda ()
   (awful-start
    (lambda ()
      (load-apps (awful-apps)))))
 (lambda ()   
   (test "foo"
         (with-input-from-request "http://localhost:8080/foo"
                                  #f
                                  read-string))))

Low level interface

start-test-server

start-test-server thunkprocedure: Start the test server and returns its pid. thunk is the procedure which actually runs the server.

stop-test-server

stop-server pidprocedure: Stops the server whose pid is the given pid.
