So this one is really weird, I'm trying to get a mock response that renders JSON. My test looks like this:
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
"reflect"
"strings"
"testing"
)
...
func TestMessageFromResponse(t *testing.T) {
mc := MyController{}
body := "{ \"message\":\"kthxbai\" }"
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
w.Write([]byte(body))
resp := w.Result()
msg := mc.messageFromResponse(resp)
if msg != "kthxbai" {
t.Errorf("Expected response body to be kthxbai but was %s", msg)
}
}
I'm testing the method messageFromResponse
on MyController
but its not even building. When I run go test
in my project directory, I get the following error:
./my_controller_test.go:115: w.Result undefined (type *httptest.ResponseRecorder has no field or method Result)
I should also mention that I am successfully using httptest.ResponseRecorder
as a writer stub elsewhere in this same file, but it's just failing when I try to access Result()
.
