Struct actix_web::test::TestRequest

pub struct TestRequest { /* private fields */ }

Test Request builder.

For unit testing, actix provides a request builder type and a simple handler runner. TestRequest implements a builder-like pattern. You can generate various types of request via TestRequest’s methods:

• TestRequest::to_request creates an actix_http::Request.
• TestRequest::to_srv_request creates a ServiceRequest, which is used for testing middlewares and chain adapters.
• TestRequest::to_srv_response creates a ServiceResponse.
• TestRequest::to_http_request creates an HttpRequest, which is used for testing handlers.

use actix_web::{test, HttpRequest, HttpResponse, HttpMessage};
use actix_web::http::{header, StatusCode};

async fn handler(req: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse {
    if let Some(hdr) = req.headers().get(header::CONTENT_TYPE) {
        HttpResponse::Ok().into()
    } else {
        HttpResponse::BadRequest().into()
    }
}

#[actix_web::test]
async fn test_index() {
    let req = test::TestRequest::default()
        .insert_header(header::ContentType::plaintext())
        .to_http_request();

    let resp = handler(req).await;
    assert_eq!(resp.status(), StatusCode::OK);

    let req = test::TestRequest::default().to_http_request();
    let resp = handler(req).await;
    assert_eq!(resp.status(), StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST);
}

Examples

use actix_web::test::TestRequest;

let req = TestRequest::default().param("foo", "bar");
let req = TestRequest::default().param("foo".to_owned(), "bar".to_owned());

pub fn peer_addr(self, addr: SocketAddr) -> Self

Set peer addr.

pub fn set_payload(self, data: impl Into<Bytes>) -> Self

Set request payload.

pub fn set_form(self, data: impl Serialize) -> Self

Serialize data to a URL encoded form and set it as the request payload.

The Content-Type header is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

pub fn set_json(self, data: impl Serialize) -> Self

Serialize data to JSON and set it as the request payload.

The Content-Type header is set to application/json.

pub fn data<T: 'static>(self, data: T) -> Self

Set application data. This is equivalent of App::data() method for testing purpose.

pub fn app_data<T: 'static>(self, data: T) -> Self

Set application data. This is equivalent of App::app_data() method for testing purpose.

pub fn to_request(self) -> Request
