Hi #pedestal users, I am in need of guidance regarding the function below
(defn create-servlet
"Creates a servlet given an options map with keyword keys prefixed by namespace e.g.
:io.pedestal.http/interceptors or ::bootstrap/interceptors if the namespace is aliased to bootstrap.
Options:
* :io.pedestal.http/interceptors: A vector of interceptors that defines a service.
Note: Additional options are passed to default-interceptors if :interceptors is not set."
[service-map]
(-> service-map
default-interceptors
service-fn
servlet))asilverman 2019-02-08T21:38:47.034100Z
Can somebody help me understand what is this pattern of use of create-servlet?

@ariel.silverman it’s common to use response-for to test your service implementation. That constructs a servlet request under the covers which is used to exercise your implementation.

@ddeaguiar - Would you be open to helping me out with this subject? I wasn’t really able to find any good resources…

@ariel.silverman sure! Here’s a start. A new pedestal project created via the pedestal-service template contains some initial tests. Here’s a trimmed down version of one of those tests in the ‘Hello World’ sample: https://github.com/pedestal/pedestal/blob/master/samples/hello-world/test/hello_world/service_test.clj#L19-L25

I’ll work on fleshing out the reference for unit testing in the http://pedestal.io docs.

response-for can be used to test all HTTP methods. If you are testing :post you can specify a :body.

Headers can also be passed

@ddeaguiar thank you for your help 🙂 I will review the project for inspiration and clarification and follow up if any questions arise. Thanks again!
