Testing

1.Add spectator to your shard.yml file as a dependencie.

dependencies:
  grip:
    github: grip-framework/grip

  spectator:
    github: grip-framework/spectator

2.Then run shards to get the dependencies:

$ shards install

3.Now you should require it before your files in your spec/spec_helper.cr

require "../src/your-grip-app"
require "spectator"

For example, your Grip application:

# src/your-grip-app.cr

require "grip"

class Index < Grip::Controllers::Http
  def get(context : Context) : Context
    context
      .text("Hello, World!")
  end
end

class Application < Grip::Application
  def initialize
    super(
      environment: ENV["ENVIRONMENT"]? || "production"
      handlers: [
        Grip::Handlers::HTTP.new,
      ] of HTTP::Handler
    )

    routes()
  end

  def routes()
    get "/", Index
  end
end

4.Now you can easily test your Grip application in your specs.

crystal spec -Dtest

# spec/your-grip-app-spec.cr

describe Index do
  # You can use GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE to call the corresponding route.
  it "renders /" do
    response = get Application.new, "/"
    response.status_code.should eq 200
  end
end
