💖 Plack::Test::MockHTTP — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, the vibe: this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection (perl, obviously, the icon it is), and the module we're hyping up is Plack::Test::MockHTTP. it lives at Plack::...MockHTTP(3) in the manpage index, iykyk. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Plack::Test::MockHTTP — run mocked HTTP tests through PSGI applications 🎀

like. that's literally it. mock the HTTP, test the PSGI, girlboss your way through CI. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so Plack::Test::MockHTTP is a whole utility 💅. here's the tea:

  • you hand it a PSGI application 🫶
  • you also hand it HTTP::Request objects 💌
  • it runs the app, and hands you back an HTTP::Response object, freshly baked out of the PSGI application's response ✨

that's the entire loop. request goes in, response comes out, nobody has to spin up a real server, and your test suite stays cute and fast. no cap.

and if you're like "okay but how do I actually use this module tho??" — bestie, the answer is right next door: go read Plack::Test. it'll walk you through it. this page is just the intro, Plack::Test is the main character 👑.

fr fr, don't try to freestyle the usage from this page alone. the actual how-to is in Plack::Test. this doc is doing the "hey bestie here's what I am" speech, not the tutorial.
