VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

use MyDancerApp;
use Test::WWW::Mechanize::Dancer;

# Get your standard Test::WWW::Mechanize object
my $mech = Test::WWW::Mechanize::Dancer->new(
    # settings here if required
)->mech;
# Run standard Test::WWW::Mechanize tests
$mech->get_ok('/');

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple wrapper that lets you test your Dancer apps using Test::WWW::Mechanize.

SETTINGS

appdir

Probably the main thing you will want to set, appdir sets the base directory for the app. confdir, views, and public, will be set to appdir, appdir/views, and appdir/public respectively if not set explicitly.

The appdir defaults to the current working directory, which works in most testing cases.

agent

Allows you to set the user agent of the Mechanizer.

confdir

Set the dancer confdir. Will default to appdir if unspecified.

envdir

Allows you to set the directory where Dancer should look for the config files for each environment. Defaults to 'environments' under appdir. Note if your app uses $ENV{DANCER_ENVDIR} you should explicitly pass that value using this option.

environment

Allows you to set the Dancer environment to run your app in. Defaults to 'test'

mech_class

Allows you to override the class used to instantiate the user agent object. Use this to invoke your own class with project-specific test-helper methods. Defaults to 'Test::WWW::Mechanize::PSGI' - which your class should inherit from. Note, it is your responsibility to 'require' the class.

public

Set the public directory for your dancer app. Defaults to appdir/public

views

Set the views directory for your dancer app. Defaults to appdir/views
