Examples on Zend_Rest_Controller Unit Testing

I have found a bunch of examples how to unit test Zend_Controller, but I'm looking for examples on Zend_Rest_Controller Unit Testing. Any help is really appreciated. Thank you!

Solution

  • So, basically your question is how to emulate calling PUT and DELETE in your controller tests?
    Since this apparently doesn't work:

    $this->request->setMethod('PUT');

    You can access both these actions with plain HTTP POST by providing _method parameter.

    So to call PUT:

    $this->request->setMethod('POST');
$this->dispatch('articles/123?_method=put');

    To call DELETE:

    $this->request->setMethod('POST');
$this->dispatch('articles/123?_method=delete');
