Test::HTTP::Server::SiUser(Contributed Perl DocumTest::HTTP::Server::Simple(3)NAMETest::HTTP::Server::Simple - Test::More functions for
HTTP::Server::Simple
SYNOPSIS
package My::WebServer;
use base qw/Test::HTTP::Server::Simple HTTP::Server::Simple/;
package main;
use Test::More tests => 42;
my $s = My::WebServer->new;
my $url_root = $s->started_ok("start up my web server);
# connect to "$url_root/cool/site" and test with Test::WWW::Mechanize,
# Test::HTML::Tidy, etc
DESCRIPTION
This mixin class provides methods to test an HTTP::Server::Simple-based
web server. Currently, it provides only one such method: "started_ok".
started_ok [$text]
"started_ok" takes an optional test description. The server needs to
have been configured (specifically, its port needs to have been set),
but it should not have been run or backgrounded. "started_ok" calls
"background" on the server, which forks it to run in the background.
Test::HTTP::Server::Simple takes care of killing the server when your
test script dies, even if you kill your test script with an interrupt.
"started_ok" returns the URL "http://localhost:$port" which you can use
to connect to your server.
Note that if the child process dies, or never gets around to listening
for connections, this just hangs. (This may be fixed in a future
version.)
Also, it probably won't work if you use a custom Net::Server in your
server.
pids
Returns the PIDs of the processes which have been started. Since
multiple test servers can be running at one, be aware that this returns
a list.
DEPENDENCIES
Test::Builder, HTTP::Server::Simple, NEXT.
INCOMPATIBILITIES
None reported.
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Installs an interrupt signal handler, which may override any that
another part of your program has installed.
