ct_helper

Helper modules for common_test suites.

Creating temporary static files

This library includes a function that will generate files tailored for testing web servers. The following snippet will create a directory containing all the files and subsequently delete it all.

ct_helper:create_static_dir(Path),
%% do things!
ct_helper:delete_static_dir(Path).

The following files are created. Replace ./ with the Path passed as argument to find the real path of the files.

• ./
• ./directory/
• ./unknown
• ./style.css
• ./index.html
• ./unreadable (mode 0333)

Generating SSL certificates

This library includes a function that allows you to generate SSL certificates for testing purposes. The following snippet can be used to generate certificates and a private key.

{CaCert, Cert, Key} = ct_helper:make_certs().

The resulting CaCert, Cert and Key can be used directly with Erlang functions like ssl:connect/3.

ssl:connect("example.com", 443, [binary, {cert, Cert}, {key, Key}]).
