tests : redirect & content_like

[amka...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Can please someone say me how to check a content_like, in a mojolicious test script, if a redirects occurs ?

$t = $t->post_ok('/engre' => {Accept => '*/*'} => form => {a => '0.25', z => '10'})->status_is(302)->content_like(qr/principale/);

does not work.

Thanks & best regards,

Amka

See this example in Test::Mojo.

Thanks,

Hello Amka,

Your question is slightly ambiguous, are you trying to test the content/body of the 302 message or the content/body of the message it redirects to? Most people don't include a body on their 302 so I'm going to assume you mean the latter. Assuming that's true, this is how you might test both.

```perl

# set the internal useragent to follow redirects

# in this case I'm only going to allow one since I only expect one

$t->ua->max_redirects(1);

# then test the request and the final response

$t->post_ok('/engre' => {Accept => '*/*'} => form => {a => '0.25', z => '10'})->status_is(200)->content_like(qr/principale/);

# then come back and test that there was a redirect and it was the appropriate status

my $redirect = $t->tx->previous;

ok $redirect, 'got a previous transaction';

is $redirect->res->code, 302, 'got the expected redirect code';

# if you don't care about the exact value you could have tested

ok $redirect->res->is_redirect, 'previous transaction was a redirect';

# however the fact that there was a previous transaction kinda implies that same thing.

```

Of course you could wrap some of that into its own test method, but that's only useful if you are going to do it a lot.

Cheers,

Joel

Hi,

It seems that only

$t->ua->max_redirects(1);

was missing to me.

Thanks a lot, have a nice day  :)
