Add something helps test in prod environment

[lz1998]

There are two environments in our company, test and prod.

• test: We can connect database from our own computer.
• prod: We can't connect database from our own computer.

I can write a unit test to test whether handler works in test environment, but it's not convenient to write a test in prod environment. Is it possible to provide some helpers to convert Json<T> to reqwest::Request? It can helps developers test more conveniently.

Handler:

async fn handle_something(Json(req): axum::Json<Req>) -> Json<Resp> {...}

Test:

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests{
    use super::*;

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_handle_somethind(){
        let req = Req::default();
         // TODO how to switch between "unit test" and "online test" conveniently?
        let resp = handle_something(req).await;
        println("{:?}" ,resp);
    }
}

Are you trying to write a test that connects to your production server? I really would not recommend doing that since you want your tests to be deterministic.

If you really still want yo you'll have to construct requests manually with reqwest. I don't think adding code to axum to make that easier is necessary since axum is a server library and not a client.
