Wraps a WSGI application in a more convenient interface for testing.

app may be an application, or a Paste Deploy app URI, like 'config:filename.ini#test'.

extra_environ is a dictionary of values that should go into the environment for each request. These can provide a communication channel with the application.

relative_to is a directory, and filenames used for file uploads are calculated relative to this. Also config: URIs that aren't absolute.

Resets the state of the application; currently just clears saved cookies.

Get the given url (well, actually a path like '/page.html').

params:

A query string, or a dictionary that will be encoded into a query string. You may also include a query string on the url.

headers:

A dictionary of extra headers to send.

extra_environ:

A dictionary of environmental variables that should be added to the request.

status:

The integer status code you expect (if not 200 or 3xx). If you expect a 404 response, for instance, you must give status=404 or it will be an error. You can also give a wildcard, like '3*' or '*'.

expect_errors:

If this is not true, then if anything is written to wsgi.errors it will be an error. If it is true, then non-200/3xx responses are also okay.

Returns a webob.Response object.

Do a POST request. Very like the .get() method. params are put in the body of the request.

upload_files is for file uploads. It should be a list of [(fieldname, filename, file_content)]. You can also use just [(fieldname, filename)] and the file content will be read from disk.

Returns a webob.Response object.

Do a PUT request. Very like the .get() method. params are put in the body of the request.

upload_files is for file uploads. It should be a list of [(fieldname, filename, file_content)]. You can also use just [(fieldname, filename)] and the file content will be read from disk.

Returns a webob.Response object.

Do a DELETE request. Very like the .get() method. params are put in the body of the request.

Returns a webob.Response object.

Encodes a set of parameters (typically a name/value list) and a set of files (a list of (name, filename, file_body)) into a typical POST body, returning the (content_type, body).

Executes the given request (req), with the expected status. Generally .get() and .post() are used instead.
