Create unit test for AssertionContext.Request and Response

Open gavv opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Add a test to expect_test.go that verifies that:

AssertionContext.Request points to correct request
AssertionContext.Response points to correct response

When:

request reports failure (only AssertionContext.Request is set in this case)
response reports failure
child object of response reports failure (e.g. Response.Body)

For example, if you write this code:

req := e.GET("/test")
resp := req.Expect()
body := resp.Body()
body.IsEqual(...)

Then AssertionContext.Request should be set to req and AssertionContext.Response should be set to resp when req, resp, or body reports failure.

To inspect AssertionContext fields, the test should use a custom implementation of AssertionHandler. Then the test should imitate failure, and request, response, or body will invoke AssertionHandler.Failure and pass AssertionContext to it. Here is the point where the test can inspect context.
