Catalyst is an elegant MVC Web Application Framework. Test::WWW::Mechanize
|
||
|
|
is a subclass of WWW::Mechanize that incorporates features for web
|
||
|
|
application testing. The Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst module
|
||
|
|
meshes the two to allow easy testing of Catalyst applications
|
||
|
|
without starting up a web server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Testing web applications has always been a bit tricky, normally
|
||
|
|
starting a web server for your application and making real HTTP
|
||
|
|
requests to it. This module allows you to test Catalyst web
|
||
|
|
applications but does not start a server or issue HTTP requests.
|
||
|
|
Instead, it passes the HTTP request object directly to Catalyst.
|
||
|
|
Thus you do not need to use a real hostname: "http://localhost/"
|
||
|
|
will do.
