Testing Echo Requests including middleware

[safaci2000]

I've moved some authorization pattern out of the body of my request call into a middleware layer, Is there a pattern which would allow me to validate the request call including middleware?

For example:

tasksGroup.GET("/force", ctrl.TaskForce, customMiddleware.HasRole(authConfg.AdminScope))

this is my test code currently, or a snippet of it. This all works great unless I use middlware and then it all goes out the window. Can I invoke the same middlware layer into the tests?

for _, tc := range tests {
  e := echo.New()
  request := test_tooling.GetSampleCaptureRequest("ipv6")
  path := tc.endpoint + tc.params
  req := httptest.NewRequest(tc.method, path, strings.NewReader(string(stringReq)))
  req.Header.Set(echo.HeaderContentType, echo.MIMEApplicationJSON)
  rec := httptest.NewRecorder()
  c := e.NewContext(req, rec)	  
  h  := createCaptureTestHandler()
  err = h.CreateCapture(c)
}

e.ServeHTTP(rec, req) will execute whole middleware chain

func TestTest(t *testing.T) {
	e := echo.New()
	
	e.GET("/", func(c echo.Context) error {
		return c.String(http.StatusNotImplemented, "OK")
	})

	req := httptest.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/?tags=1&tags=2", nil)
	rec := httptest.NewRecorder()

	e.ServeHTTP(rec, req)

	assert.Equal(t, http.StatusNotImplemented, rec.Code)
	assert.Equal(t, "OK", rec.Body.String())
}

Oh that's great! Thank you for providing this! I'll validate this on Monday but this looks very promising!
