wireframe_testing

Helper utilities for exercising wireframe applications in tests without opening real sockets. The crate runs a WireframeApp against in-memory duplex streams, captures every frame the app emits, and provides small helpers for encoding or decoding frames so assertions stay focused on behaviour rather than plumbing.

• Drive an app with length-delimited frames or bincode-serialised payloads.
• Collect multi-frame responses into a single buffer for snapshot-style assertions.
• Capture log output during tests with a lightweight logger guard.

Quick start

use wireframe::app::WireframeApp;
use wireframe_testing::{decode_frames, drive_with_bincode, logger};

#[tokio::test]
async fn drives_app() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let _log_guard = logger();
    let app = WireframeApp::new().expect("failed to initialise app");

    let raw = drive_with_bincode(app, 42u8).await?;
    let frames = decode_frames(raw);

    assert_eq!(frames.len(), 1);
    Ok(())
}

Running the tests

• cargo test -p wireframe_testing

The command exercises the helpers in isolation. Run it before publishing changes to ensure the test fixtures continue to match the main wireframe crate's expectations.
