test-server

Easy testing of a HTTP server

Example

testServer will create a HTTP server for you on a port. It will use the first function you pass as the request handler and fire the second function when the server is done listening.

The second version is passed a version of mikeal's request that turns "/foo" into "http://localhost:PORT/foo". It's also passed a done function to call when you are done testing and want to kill the HTTP server

var testServer = require("test-server")
    , assert = require("assert")

testServer(function (req, res) {
    res.end("beep")
}, function (request, done) {
    request("/", function (err, res, body) {
        assert.equal(body, "beep")
        done()
    })
})

testServer(requestHandler[, options], callback)

The options are

{
    port: Number
    , timeout: Number
    , protocol: "http" || "https"
    , host: someString
}

• port is the port the server will listen on and defaults to 3002
• timeout is the number of milliseconds before the server auto-shutsdown. This defaults to 5000 and is useful to timeout your tests
• protocol is the protocol for calls, the default is http
• host is the domain host to call. It defaults to localhost
