使用GoConvey测试REST API

Question

I am writing a simple service and was wondering how should I approach testing the REST API Endpoints using GoConvey?

Ideally I believe I would have to launch my server to test it against, but for some reason I am not able to wrap my head around on how to do it with Go.

I am using the vanilla net/http stack for this service and mgo for the database.

Any idea and help would be very welcomed :)

Thanks!

Answer 1

the net/http/httptest package is useful for creating a server for a specific http.Handler.

Andrew Gerrand's testing talk goes over the httptest.Server and httptest.ResponseRecorder starting slide 12
