session

Unit testing Ratpack handlers has many benefits. In the previous post we have learned how to mock Session object to use it with GroovyRequestFixture. Today instead of mocking we will register SessionModule and then we will use a real session object.

Ratpack allows you unit test handlers using GroovyRequestFixture class. The good thing about this approach is that it does not require running the whole application and you can quickly test if the handler does what you expect. However, if you retrieve objects from Raptack’s registry you will run into a problem - registry in this case is empty.
