infrae.wsgi 1.2

Introduction

It basically does the same work than:

• repoze.zope2,

• Zope 2 new builtin WSGI publisher.

Except than:

• It work with real Zope 2 applications and no monkey-patches,

• It pay specially attention to properly implement streaming. You can use your ZODB connection while streaming, (either with the .write method of request, or returning an IResult or an IStreamIterator iterator). ConflictError generate a final error if they happens during a streaming operation, not re-sending things again on the same HTTP connection,

• All ConflictError are properly managed.

• All those cases are tested.

It does not:

• Provide Zope 2 as a collection of WSGI middlewares, as Zope 2 paradigm / code base is not good for it,

• Do all fancy request body changes that old Zope 2 publisher does, as nobody use it anymore since a very long time.

from five import grok

class CorpError(Exception):
    """Custom corporate error.
    """

class CorpErrorMessage(grok.View):
    grok.context(CorpError)
    grok.name('error.html')

    def render(self):
        # aq_parent(self) is where the error happened
        return u'I Failed: %s' % str(self.error.args)

Installation

infrae.wsgi has been and deployed with Paste Deploy and mod_wsgi. It correctly respect the WSGI specification and should work with any WSGI server.

Testing

A layer inheriting of infrae.testing Zope2Layer layer called BrowserLayer let you write functional tests.

It provides both an http function and a Browser class (like the one provided by zope.testbrowser) that you can use, and that will connect to the tested application using the WSGI support provided by this package.

This will let you do functional testing, and things will work exactly like in your browser, as the requests will be processed the same way than they are in real life (which is not really the case with the Testing module of Zope 2).

You will be actually able to test applications that do use streaming:

import unittest

from infrae.wsgi.testing import Browser, BrowserLayer
import corp.testpackage


class CorpTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
   layer = BrowserLayer(corp.testpackage)

   def setUp(self):
       self.root = self.layer.get_application()
       # Create some test content

   def test_feature(self):
       browser = Browser()
       browser.open('http://localhost/somepage')
       self.assertEqual(browser.status, 200)
       ...
