Req Mock support?

[Derek Chen-Becker]

I was thinking, it might be nice to have a MockWeb object that performed a lot of the wrapping I discussed in my latest post. Something like

object MockWeb {
  // Init S with a mock request using the given context path and uri
  def apply[T](contextPath : String, uri : String, queryString : String = "")(test : => T)

  // Same, but allow further modification of the backing mock request
  def apply[T](contextPath : String, uri : String, queryString : String = "")(initReq : MockHttpServletRequest => Unit)(test : => T)
}

Thoughts?

It's an expansion of https://www.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/tickets/793-add-support-for-unit-testing-resthelper-without-full-jetty-lift-environment

Do you want to take over the ticket and do some great things with it?

So, in my example I'm using spring-mock because it's easy, but is that reasonable to add as a dependency? I'm thinking that this code would probably want to live in lift-testkit, or maybe some other module (not lift-webkit), so it would most likely only affect people's test scopes, but I could look into providing our own MockHTTPRequest (based on HTTPRequst) if there's a consensus against involving Spring.

I have a pretty strong aversion to bringing anything Spring into Lift.  I have a very, very low opinion of the Spring code quality and over-all design.

I thought Steve Jenson wrote some HTTP mocks back in the day.

I'll take a look. I don't think it will be hard to write our own MockHTTPRequest.

How much functionality is needed in the Mocks? I've done basic mocking
with the Mockito framework supported by specs:

var httpRequest = mock[HTTPRequest]

httpRequest.method returns "GET"
httpRequest.uri returns "/context/"
httpRequest.contextPath returns "/context"
httpRequest.header(anyString()) returns None
httpRequest.sessionId returns None

var httpSession = mock[HTTPSession]
