I would like to write a unit test for a controller but I keep getting a runtime error. I found out that it is due to the absence of the Host
on the request, the ClientIP()
method and request body. How can I set them on the test context?
Here is what I got so far. It fails on the line with Host: c.Request.Host
.
Controller:
type loggingControllers struct {
LoggingService services.InterfaceLogging
}
func (l *loggingControllers) RegisterError(c *gin.Context) {
errorEvent := models.Error{
Badges: map[string]string{},
Host: c.Request.Host,
ClientIP: c.ClientIP(),
UserAgent: c.Request.UserAgent(),
Count: 1,
Timestamp: time.Now().Unix(),
}
err := json.NewDecoder(c.Request.Body).Decode(&errorEvent)
if err != nil {
utils.RespondWithError(c, http.StatusInternalServerError, err.Error())
return
}
go l.LoggingService.SaveError(errorEvent)
utils.RespondWithSuccess(c)
}
func GetLoggingControllerMock() loggingControllers {
loggingServiceMock := services.GetLoggingServiceMock()
return loggingControllers{
LoggingService: &loggingServiceMock,
}
}
Unit Test:
func TestLoggingControllers(t *testing.T) {
loggingControllers := GetLoggingControllerMock()
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
c, _ := gin.CreateTestContext(w)
loggingControllers.RegisterError(c)
}
Error Message:
