Test buttons or links in Mojo::Test

[yanni1...@g.ucla.edu]

Hello all,

How do I test if 

a button (e.g. <a href="?msgid=0" class="btn btn-default btn-xs" style="font-size:x-small;color:black" > do not show again</a>) 

or a link (e.g. <a href="/aboutus">About Us</a>) 

works, using Mojo::Test? I want to make sure that when the user clicks on them they can be redirected to the right page, and I want my test object to follow those links and test the content of the new page.

Thanks!

Ni

There is no built in feature for "clicking"  on links yet. We've been discussing it for some time,

but not found the right way to do it yet. You have to do it manually, or use a 3rd party module.

I've always done this manually. Something like this:

$t->get_ok('/')->status_is(200)->element_exists('a[href*="msgid"]');

$t->get_ok($t->tx->res->dom->at('a[href*="msgid"]')->{href})->status_is(302)->header_like(Location => qr{something});

$t->get_ok($t->tx->res->headers->location)->status_is(200)->element_exists_not('a[href*="msgid="]');

I like how it's dynamic, but at the same time very explicit.

Thank you all!
