A Crystal web framework that makes building applications fast, simple, and enjoyable. Get started with quick prototyping, less bugs, and blazing fast performance.
This removes the Garnet Spec dependency that relied on selenium driver. This adds a RequestHelper set of macros that provide a harness to test controller tests. The macros create the http request methods to simplify specs.
This also enables the granite test suite which is crucial for a full set of test coverage for Amber.
Alternate Designs
Fix the garnet_spec and selenium driver.
Benefits
Although system or integration tests are valuable, the unit level tests shouldn't be dependent on this library. This separates the 2 concerns. You can still add integration tests using garnet (once its fixed) but they should be a separate set of tests and not tightly coupling the unit tests to these set of dependencies.
Possible Drawbacks
Moving the RequestHelper inside of a module instead of in its own shard may limit reuse of this functionality in other frameworks.
