In my case I think I'd like the root app. Here's what I am up to:
create a controller responsible for live-testing the application. So I
was thinking about something like that for this test controller:
class CheckerController(BaseController):
def index(self):
# creating test app
app = config["map"] # ???
app = TestApp(map)
# test entry controller
response = app.get(url(controller='entry', action='index'))
assert "app.js" in response
# test print controller
response = app.get(url(controller='printer', action='info',
var='printCapabilities'))
assert 'printCapabilities' in response
assert '"scales":[' in response
return "green"
Maybe I'm not taking a good direction, and I'd rather use urllib or
something and do actual HTTP requests to the application.
What do you think?
Thanks,
