= thin-async-test

* https://github.com/phiggins/thin-async-test

== DESCRIPTION:

Rack middleware to convince thin-async and rack-test to play nicely.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Allows async thin apps to be tested like regular synchronous ones.
* Doesn't interfere with regular synchronous apps.
* Stops and starts the eventmachine reactor for each test, so test speed suffers.

== SYNOPSIS:

  require 'thin/async'
  
  # Step 1: Make your rack app that uses thin and thin-async's AsyncResponse.
  class MyRackApp
    def call(env)
      response = Thin::AsyncResponse.new(env)
  
      response.headers["X-Foo"] = "bar"
  
      response << "Here's some body..."
  
      EM.add_timer(0.1) do
        response << "long running action"
  
        response.done
      end
      
      response.finish
    end  
  end
  
  # Step 2: Create your test class with rack-test.
  class TestMyRackApp < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase
    include Rack::Test::Methods
  
    # Step 3: Define your app method, but wrap it with a Thin::Async::Test
    def app
      Thin::Async::Test.new(MyRackApp)
    end
  
    # Step 4: You can test your async rack actions like syncronous ones.
    def test_my_rack_app
      get("/")
  
      assert_equal 200, last_response.status 
    end
  end

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Designed to work with thin and thin-async, but could potentially work with other stuff.
* Tested with eventmachine-1.0.0.beta.3 and ruby-1.9.2-p180.
