# Testing
|
|
|
|
Every application should be well tested. Actix-web provides tools to perform unit and
|
|
integration tests.
|
|
|
|
# Unit Tests
|
|
|
|
For unit testing, actix-web provides a request builder type.
|
|
[*TestRequest*][testrequest] implements a builder-like pattern. You can generate a
|
|
`HttpRequest` instance with `to_http_request()` and call your handler with it.
|
|
|
|

# Integration tests
|
|
|
|
There a few methods for testing your application. Actix-web can be used
|
|
to run the application with specific handlers in a real http server.
|
|
|
|
`TestRequest::get()`, `TestRequest::post()` and other
|
|
methods can be used to send requests to the test server.
|
|
|
|
To create a `Service` for testing, use the `test::init_service` method which accepts a
|
|
regular `App` builder.

|
|
If you need more complex application configuration testing should be very similar to creating
|
|
the normal application. For example, you may need to initialize application state. Create an
|
|
`App` with a `data` method and attach state just like you would from a normal application.

# Stream response tests
|
|
|
|
If you need to test stream it would be enough to call `take_body()` and convert a resulting [*ResponseBody*][responsebody]
|
|
to future and execute it.
|
|
For example of testing [*Server Sent Events*][serversentevents].
