Proper testing url creation

Taure · January 11, 2022, 6:21pm

Hi!

I have just started to learn proper, started to read Fred’s book about it.

But I got stuck when I tried to make a url tester that could try different combinations and characters.

novaframework/routing_tree/blob/master/test/prop_routing_tree.erl

-module(prop_routing_tree).

-include_lib("proper/include/proper.hrl").
-include("../include/routing_tree.hrl").

host_tree(Host, Path, Comparator, Value) ->
    TokenizedPath = string:tokens(Path, "/"),
    #host_tree{hosts = [{Host,
                         #routing_tree{tree = [host_tree_aux(TokenizedPath, Comparator, Value)]}}],
           options = #{convert_to_binary => false,use_strict => false}}.

host_tree_aux([[58|Segment]|Rest], Comparator, Value) when length(Rest) > 0 ->
    #node{segment = Segment,
          value = [],
          children = [host_tree_aux(Rest, Comparator, Value)],
          is_binding = true,
          is_wildcard = false
        };
host_tree_aux([[58|Segment]|Rest], Comparator, Value) when length(Rest) == 0 ->
    #node{segment = Segment,

How could a model look when I want to combine say a binding and none binding.

I will continue read Fred’s book but are happy to get more information about writing this kind of tests.

What about http_uri? I mean http_uri:parse/1 for parse URLs. Looks like this can help you get all data from URL.

It is more generating then parsing.

Want to be able to generate all kinds of url.

Oh, generation of URLs got it - then maybe uri_string:compose_query/1? I use this tool for build URLs in my few projects.
