DTRequestVerifier
Easy, extensible NSURLRequest verification for unit testing.
Supported properties:
- HTTP method
- Scheme
- Host
- Path
- Query parameters
- Body parameters (Raw, JSON, Plist)
- HTTP header fields
- any other NSURLRequest property via subclassing
Requirements:
- iOS 5
- Mac OS X 10.7
Sample usage with XCTest:
NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"www.google.com/test?query=foo&count=5"]
NSURLRequest * request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
DTRequestVerifier * verifier = [DTRequestVerifier verifier];
verifier.host = @"www.google.com";
verifier.path = @"/test";
verifier.queryParams = @{@"query":@"foo",@"count":@"5"};
XCTAssert([verifier verifyRequest:request]);Advanced example
NSDictionary * parameters = @{@"foo":@"bar", @"apikey":@"12345"};
NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"www.google.com/user/create"];
NSMutableURLRequest * request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
request.HTTPMethod = @"POST";
[request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:[NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameters
options:0
error:nil]];
DTRequestVerifier * verifier = [DTRequestVerifier verifier];
verifier.host = @"www.google.com";
verifier.path = @"/user/create";
verifier.HTTPMethod = @"POST";
verifier.bodyParams = parameters;
XCTAssert([verifier verifyRequest:request]);OHHTTPStubs
Though DTRequestVerifier can be used as a standalone tool, it can also greatly help, when using another testing frameworks, for example OHHTTPStubs.
NSString *path =[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Example" ofType:@"json"];
[OHHTTPStubs stubRequestsPassingTest:^BOOL(NSURLRequest *request) {
return [verifier verifyRequest:request];
}
withStubResponse:^OHHTTPStubsResponse *(NSURLRequest *request) {
return [OHHTTPStubsResponse responseWithFileAtPath:path
statusCode:200
headers:@{@"Content-Type":@"application/json"}];
}];Best practices
AFNetworking 2.0 introduced great request serialization system, that can greatly reduce amount of code needed to create NSURLRequests. You should definitely check it out!
