spec-kemal

Kemal helpers to Crystal's spec for easy testing.

Installation

Add it to your shard.yml.

name: your-kemal-app
version: 0.1.0

dependencies:
  spec-kemal:
    github: kemalcr/spec-kemal
    branch: master
  kemal:
    github: kemalcr/kemal
    branch: master

Usage

Just require it before your files in your spec/spec_helper.cr

require "spec-kemal"
require "../src/your-kemal-app"

Your Kemal application

# src/your-kemal-app.cr

require "kemal"

get "/" do
  "Hello World!"
end

Kemal.run

Now you can easily test your Kemal application in your specs.

KEMAL_ENV=test crystal spec

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

describe "Your::Kemal::App" do

  # You can use get,post,put,patch,delete to call the corresponding route.
  it "renders /" do
    get "/"
    response.body.should eq "Hello World!"
  end

end

Rescue errors

Errors gets rescued by default which results in the Kemal's exception page is rendered.
This may not always be the desired behaviour, e.g. when a JSON parsing error occurs one might expect "[]" and not Kemal's exception page.

Set Kemal.config.always_rescue = false to prevent this behaviour and raise errors instead.
