Test WSGI applications using lxml

Project description

Flea helps you test WSGI applications without starting up an HTTP server.

If you already know lxml, you’ll know what makes flea so powerful. Flea is fully integrated with lxml’s xpath api, letting you inspect, modify and navigate HTML documents returned from your WSGI application. Here’s an example session:

>>> agent = TestAgent(my_wsgi_app)
>>> agent.get('/')
>>> print agent.body
<html>
        <body>
                <a href="/sign-in">sign in</a>
        </body>
</html>
>>> agent = agent["//a[.='sign in']"].click()
>>> print agent.request.request_uri
http://localhost/sign-in
>>> agent["//input[@name='username']"].value = 'root'
>>> agent["//input[@name='password']"].value = 'password'
>>> agent = agent["//input[@type='submit']"].submit()
