Boddle
======

A unit testing tool for Python's bottle library. We wrote this for our
own testing purposes at https://www.hvst.com. Thanks
`brenguyen711 <https://github.com/brenguyen711>`__ for the great name!

Install
-------

::

sudo pip install boddle

Usage
-----

Assuming you have a bottle route like this:

.. code:: python

@bottle.get('/woot')
def woot():
return bottle.request.params['name']

You can unit test it like:

.. code:: python

import unittest
from boddle import boddle

class TestIt(unittest.TestCase):
def testWoot(self):
with boddle(params={'name':'derek'}):
self.assertEqual(woot(), 'derek')

See ```example.py`` <example.py>`__.

Options
~~~~~~~

The Bottle-specific params that are supported are:

+-------------+----------+
| Argument | Notes |
+=============+==========+
| ``params`` | Populate |
| | s |
| | ``reques |
| | t.params |
| | ``. |
| | Takes a |
| | ``dict`` |
| | or list |
| | of |
| | pairs. |
| | Useful |
| | for both |
| | POST and |
| | GET |
| | params. |
+-------------+----------+
| ``path`` | The path |
| | componen |
| | t |
| | of the |
| | url. |
| | Populate |
| | s |
| | ``reques |
| | t.path`` |
| | , |
| | which |
| | always |
| | has a |
| | preceedi |
| | ng |
| | ``/``. |
+-------------+----------+
| ``method`` | POST, |
| | GET, |
| | etc. |
| | Bottle |
| | will |
| | uppercas |
| | e |
| | the |
| | value. |
+-------------+----------+
| ``headers`` | Any HTTP |
| | headers. |
| | Takes a |
| | ``dict`` |
| | . |
+-------------+----------+
| ``json`` | Takes |
| | anything |
| | that can |
| | be |
| | consumed |
| | by |
| | ``json.d |
| | umps()`` |
| | . |
| | Also |
| | sets the |
| | content |
| | type of |
| | the |
| | request. |
+-------------+----------+
| ``url`` | The full |
| | URL, |
| | protocol |
| | , |
| | domain, |
| | port, |
| | path, |
| | etc. |
| | Will be |
| | parsed |
| | until |
| | its |
| | ``urlpar |
| | ts`` |
| | before |
| | populati |
| | ng |
| | ``reques |
| | t.url``. |
+-------------+----------+
| ``body`` | The raw |
| | body of |
| | the |
| | request. |
| | Takes |
| | either a |
| | ``str`` |
| | or a |
| | file-lik |
| | e |
| | object. |
| | ``str``\ |
| | s |
| | will be |
| | converte |
| | d |
| | into |
| | file-lik |
| | e |
| | objects. |
| | Populate |
| | d |
| | ``reques |
| | t.body`` |
| | . |
+-------------+----------+

All other keyword arguments will be assigned to the request object. For
instance, we often do:

.. code:: python

with boddle(current_user=someone):
# code that accesses bottle.request.current_user

You can also nest ``boddle`` calls. For instance:

.. code:: python

with boddle(path='/woot'):
with boddle(params={'name':'derek'}):
# both path and params are set here
# only path is set here

**ALL CHANGES TO ``bottle.request`` ARE REVERTED WHEN THE WITH BLOCK
ENDS.**
