Usage

Warp = require "warp-node"


describe "topic", ->
  [ warp ] = []
  
  
  
  beforeEach ->
    warp = Warp.create()
    warp.request.url = "GET http://localhost:3000/ping"
    warp.request.repeat = 1
    warp.request.delay = 200
    warp.request.headers = { "x-forwarded-for": "127.0.0.1" }

    # Doing some asynchronous things, like starting a server and than call `warp.activate()`.
    warp.activate()


  
  it "should respond without errors", ->
    warp.execute (err, res, data) -> expect(err).toBeUndefined()


  
  it "should respond with status code 200", ->
    warp.execute (err, res, data) -> expect(res.statusCode).toEqual(200)


  
  it "should respond with 'pong'", ->
    warp.execute (err, res, data) -> expect(data).toEqual("pong")

Reference

Warp.create([options])

Creating a new warp instance. Options is optionally an object with the following properties.

url: "GET http://localhost:3000/ping"   # Defining url for GET or POST requests including port and path
data: "foo"                             # Data to be send using POST requests
encoding: "UTF8"                        # Encoding of given data
resEncoding: "UTF8"                     # Encoding of receiving response
repeat: 5                               # Number of times the request have to be repeated
delay: 200                              # Number of milliseconds the request call have to be delayed

warp.activate()

Activating the warp to get ready to test. This is usefull to starting a server what is mostly asynchonous.

warp.request.url

Getter/Setter, defining url for GET or POST requests including port and path.

warp.request.data

Getter/Setter, data to be send using POST requests.

warp.request.encoding

Getter/Setter, encoding of given data.

warp.request.resEncoding

Getter/Setter, encoding of receiving response.

warp.request.repeat

Getter/Setter, number of times the request have to be repeated. repeat defaults to 1. If it is set to something higher the response data format changes from single values to lists of values for each call. See warp.execute.

warp.request.delay

Getter/Setter, number of milliseconds the request call have to be delayed.

warp.execute (err|errForCalls, res|resForCalls, data|dataForCalls)

Executing the test. Given callback provides the following information as single items. If warp.request.repeat is set to something higher than 1, the provided information are lists containing the data for each repeated request.

• err, error object if something went wrong, else undefined
• res, http response object
• data, string containing received payload
