Testing Language and Location APIs
To write a test for a location-aware Instant Answer, you'll need to pass the test function an extra parameter - a DDG::Request object, with the location specified. To do this, you'll need to use DDG::Test::Location and use DDG::Request. Here is a working annotated example excerpted from the Spice::Snow Instant Answer test file. The same process should be used for Goodies.
Note that only a small set of locations are available to be simulated for testing. They are defined in DDG::Test::Location.pm.
#!/usr/bin/env perl​use strict;use warnings;use Test::More;use DDG::Test::Spice;​# These two modules are only necessary when testing with the Location API.use DDG::Test::Location;use DDG::Request;​ddg_spice_test([qw( DDG::Spice::Snow )],# This optional argument to ddg_spice_test is a DDG::Request object.# The object constructor takes two arguments of its own:# the query (usually specified in the test_zci),# and a location object - created by test_location (with a country code).DDG::Request->new(query_raw => "is it snowing?",location => test_location("de")) => test_spice('/js/spice/snow/'.'M%C3%B6nchengladbach%2C%20%20Nordrhein-Westfalen%2C%20%20Germany',call_type => 'include',caller => 'DDG::Spice::Snow',),# The DDG::Request is used in place of a query string, and isn't necessary# to be used with every test passed to ddg_spice_test.'is it snowing in new york?' => test_spice('/js/spice/snow/new%20york',call_type => 'include',caller => 'DDG::Spice::Snow',));​done_testing;
To write a test for a locale-aware Instant Answer, you'll need to pass the test function an extra parameter - a DDG::Request object, with the location specified. To do this, you'll need to use DDG::Test::Language and use DDG::Request. Here is a quick annotated example testing the language detect feature of the Translate Instant Answer:
#!/usr/bin/env perl​use strict;use warnings;use Test::More;use DDG::Test::Spice;​# These two modules are only necessary when testing with the Language API.use DDG::Test::Language;use DDG::Request;​ddg_spice_test(["DDG::Spice::Translate::Detect"],# This optional argument to ddg_spice_test is a DDG::Request object.# The two arguments we pass to the constructor are:# the query we're testing against# language object, created by calling test_language with a country code​# Note that the only supported values for test_language are:# "us" (US English), "de" (German) and "my" (Malay)DDG::Request->new(query_raw => "translate good",language => test_language("de"),), test_spice('/js/spice/translate/detect/good/de',caller => "DDG::Spice::Translate::Detect"));​done_testing;
