Hi, what's the best way for testing a gin route?
I currently have one function where the routes are defined. Here it is:
package router
import (
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
"github.com/gragorther/epigo/handlers"
"github.com/gragorther/epigo/middlewares"
)
func Setup(userUserStore handlers.UserUserStore, groupGroupStore handlers.GroupGroupStore, groupAuthStore handlers.GroupAuthStore, messageAuthStore handlers.MessageAuthStore, messageMessageStore handlers.MessageMessageStore, middlewareUserStore middlewares.UserStore) *gin.Engine {
r := gin.Default()
r.Use(middlewares.ErrorHandler())
userHandler := handlers.NewUserHandler(userUserStore)
authHandler := middlewares.NewAuthMiddleware(middlewareUserStore)
groupHandler := handlers.NewGroupHandler(groupGroupStore, groupAuthStore)
messageHandler := handlers.NewMessageHandler(messageMessageStore, messageAuthStore)
// user stuff
r.POST("/user/register", userHandler.RegisterUser)
r.POST("/user/login", userHandler.LoginUser)
r.GET("/user/profile", authHandler.CheckAuth, userHandler.GetUserProfile)
r.PUT("/user/setEmailInterval", authHandler.CheckAuth, userHandler.SetEmailInterval)
// groups
r.DELETE("/user/groups/delete/:id", authHandler.CheckAuth, groupHandler.DeleteGroup)
r.POST("/user/groups/add", authHandler.CheckAuth, groupHandler.AddGroup)
r.GET("/user/groups", authHandler.CheckAuth, groupHandler.ListGroups) // list groups
r.PATCH("/user/groups/edit/:id", authHandler.CheckAuth, groupHandler.EditGroup)
// lastMessages
r.POST("/user/lastMessages/add", authHandler.CheckAuth, messageHandler.AddLastMessage)
r.GET("/user/lastMessages", authHandler.CheckAuth, messageHandler.ListLastMessages)
r.PATCH("/user/lastMessages/edit/:id", authHandler.CheckAuth, messageHandler.EditLastMessage)
r.DELETE("/user/lastMessages/delete/:id", authHandler.CheckAuth, messageHandler.DeleteLastMessage)
return r
}
so, my question is, how can I test just one route? should I run this function in every test and send a request to a route with httptest? Or should I set up my handlers like it's described at https://gin-gonic.com/en/docs/testing/
(like this)
func postUser(router *gin.Engine) *gin.Engine {
router.POST("/user/add", func(c *gin.Context) {
var user User
c.BindJSON(&user)
c.JSON(200, user)
})
return router
}
let me know if you have any other questions about my code.

It's not even a loophole, this is how ActivityPub is designed
