Testing http handler that executes a workflow

Community Support

I have an HTTP handler that executes a workflow.

func () someHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	workflowOptions := client.StartWorkflowOptions{
		ID:        id,
		TaskQueue: c.OrderTasksQueueName,
	}
	we, err = c.TemporalClient.ExecuteWorkflow(context.Background(), workflowOptions, "MyWorkflow")
response := ""
	responseErr := we.Get(context.Background(), &response)
	if responseErr != nil {
		c.Logger.Error("Cannot get workflow result")
	}
	if err != nil {
		w.WriteHeader(http.StatusInternalServerError)
		_, _ = w.Write([]byte("Unable to execute workflow"))
		return
	}

	w.WriteHeader(http.StatusAccepted)

result := fmt.Sprintf("{WorkflowRunID: %s, OrderID: %s, Result: %s}", we.GetRunID(), we.GetID(),
		response)	_, _ = w.Write([]byte(result))
}```

1. How do I write unit tests for this handler. How can I get this workflow to execute without mocking. 
2. Can I mock the workflow execution somehow and just test the handler logic?

Any help is appreciated. 
Thanks

Use the Client mock included in the Go SDK.

Thanks for the reply i was able to mock my workflow execution and now ran into an issue with workflowRun.Get(ctx, valuePtr) function.

How do i mock it ? i have this - workflowRunMock.On("Get", mock.Anything, mock.Anything)
