This works but it makes me add @expose('json') to every method.

In fact, i would like to do something like this:

class MyController(BaseController):
    @expose('some_template.html')
    def foo(self):
          return dict(a=1, b=2)

my_controller = MyController()
response = my_controller.foo()
# test values inside "response" dict

but it's not possible, at least directly

You could expose it as json, which would just render the objects from the dict you return.

E.g.
@expose('json')
def func(self):

return dict(a='blah')

would let you access: /func.json and get:
{"a": "blah"}

Does that help you?

Hi guys,
I'm begging to testing with TG and a question comes up.

WebTest allows us to get the response from a particular URL but that response is the rendered version, the associated template + returning dict from the controller.
Is there a way to get only the dict returned by the controller? My idea is to test the "web side" with Selenium, so the dict is the only information I need at this moment.

Thanks in advance
