Document how to set up response validation with Minitest

[TastyPi]

There's lots of great examples on how to use this library with RSpec, but I can't find anything for Minitest. Is there a way to set up Minitest to validate Apipie responses? If so, could it be documented somewhere?

Hi @TastyPi, I'm looking into this myself now as well. Did you ever find any more resources?

I am assuming using Minitest with ApiPie is possible, it's just we lack documentation.

@logeyG I assume it is possible, but I haven't had the time to look into it.

Maybe you could be more specific about what exactly you want to test?
if I take this spec file for example, that tests a validator.

https://github.com/Apipie/apipie-rails/blob/master/spec/lib/validators/array_validator_spec.rb

converting it from rspec to minitest would mean replacing all the expect().to foo by some assert bar; no ?

thanks @mathieujobin for the response

I'm interested in doing something like this as referenced in the docs: https://github.com/Apipie/apipie-rails#example-of-the-manual-mechanism

Our codebase is very tied to Minitest so I don't think introducing RSpec is viable for us to be able to use this.

However based on what you wrote above, I think all that would be required is to convert the following block of code in response_validation_helper.rb to something that is Minitest compatible?

RSpec::Matchers.define :match_declared_responses do
  match do |actual|
    (schema, validation_errors) = subject.send(:schema_validation_errors_for_response)
    valid = (validation_errors == [])
    Apipie::print_validation_errors(validation_errors, schema, response) unless valid

    valid
  end
end

Yes that's correct.

Rspec matcher are just syntaxic sugar...

Définition can be taken pretty much as-is...
