Test Driven Development of XMLRPCControllers?

[avillena]

Hi!
Does anybody knows how to use paste.fixture facilities to tests and
XMLRPCController, in a similar way to testing regular controllers?
Thanks

I'm not sure if this applies to paste.fixture, but I have done this
with webtest which is the replacement module for paste.fixture
(http://pythonpaste.org/webtest/)
And it is exactly the same as a normal test. except that you will
fetch the response with "response.json" and then do your thing.

sorry my parser corrected that XMLRPC to jsonrpc, I have been doing
this for way too long.
response.xml (Elementree) or response.lxml (lxml) is what you want.

Thanks!
The doubt that remains is how I can send parameters to the
XMLRPCController. Using app.post giving an XML request document by
hand?
Any experience doing that?

Good luck
Agustin

you can pass a dict or a query_string as the second parameter to post,
which will be transformed into the POST data, so my guess is that you
need something in the likes of:
app.post("/url/to/controller/",{'data':xml_obj}) now two things are
uncertain, which is the value of data, I haven't used XMLRPController
that much to know the correct post parameter, and if you need to
escape or stringify xml_obj, I think the last one isn't needed, at
least it isn't for json objects. A quick peak at plyons
XMLRPCCOntroller suggest me you should be using xmlrpclib.dumps to
build a proper body for the request.

Thanks

I'll try this
