I can't be the first person to want to do this, but I also can't seem
to find a solution. (Perhaps my Google skills are poor today.) How
can I emulate cgi.FieldStorage() for my unit tests so that I don't have
to put a web server in the way?
what I'd like to do is something like
fs = cgi.FieldStorage()
fs["foo"] = "bar"
functionToBeTested(fs)
Any hints/leads/suggestions?
Can't you just pass the FieldStorage some dummy data to parse?
It looks pretty simple.
class FieldStorage:
def __init__(self, fp=None, headers=None, outerboundary="",
environ=os.environ, keep_blank_values=0,
strict_parsing=0):
"""Constructor. Read multipart/* until last part.
Arguments, all optional:
fp : file pointer; default: sys.stdin
(not used when the request method is GET)
headers : header dictionary-like object; default:
taken from environ as per CGI spec
outerboundary : terminating multipart boundary
(for internal use only)
environ : environment dictionary; default: os.environ
keep_blank_values: flag indicating whether blank values in
URL encoded forms should be treated as blank strings.
A true value indicates that blanks should be retained as
blank strings. The default false value indicates that
blank values are to be ignored and treated as if they were
not included.
strict_parsing: flag indicating what to do with parsing errors.
If false (the default), errors are silently ignored.
If true, errors raise a ValueError exception.
