In the previous chapter, we created a URL shortening service. The structure of the URL shortener project we worked on previously looks like this:
├── main.go
├── models
│ └── models.go
└── utils
└── encodeutils.go
2 directories, 3 filesIn the main.go file, we created two API handlers: one for GET and one for POST. We are going to write the unit tests for both of those handlers. Add a file called main_test.go in the root directory of the project:
touch main_test.goIn order to test our API, we need to test our API handlers:
package main_test
import (
"testing"
"net/http"
)
func TestGetOriginalURL(t *testing.T) {
// make a dummy reques
response, err := http.Get("http://localhost:8000/v1/short/1")
if http.StatusOK != response.StatusCode {
t.Errorf("Expected response code %d. Got %d\n", http.StatusOK, response.StatusCode)
}
if err != nil {
t.Errorf("Encountered an error:", err)
}
