Can I get a value from a test and use it in the next test?

[Nacho B]

I am trying to make tests for a CRUD app. So after testing if a record has been created, I want to test how it is displayed and then test if it can be deleted succesfully.

In the create record function I get the id (using PostgreSql's RETURNING) and a 'OK' through JSON.

I can test those values using this test:

$t->post_ok('/users' => form => {alias => 'TESTING USER ALIAS'})
    ->status_is(200)
    ->header_is('content-type' => 'application/json')
    ->json_has( 'result' => 'OK' )
    ->json_like( 'last_id' => qr/\d/ )
    ;

    

Now I want to make the tests for the display and the deletion, something like:

$t->get_ok('/users/15')
    ->status_is(200)

    ->content_like(qr /TESTING USER ALIAS/)

    ;

But I need the last_id value that returns (15, in my example), a variable that I can somehow chain from a test to the next.

Any suggestions?

$t->get_ok($your_url)->status_is(...);
my $id = $t->tx->res->json->{your_key};
$t->get_ok("/users/$id")->status_is(...);

Thank you!, Alexey, this is what I need.

Now I have located in the docs (and I have understood) the "Current transaction" attribute. Here is the link, just in caso someone else needs it in the future: http://mojolicio.us/perldoc/Test/Mojo#tx
