=head1 DESCRIPTION
By inheriting from L<Test::WWW::Mechanize>, this module provides two
key benefits over using L<Maypole::CLI> in test scripts. First, it
inherits a plethora of methods for testing web content. Second,
cookies are handled transparently, allowing you to test applications
that use cookie-based sessions and authentication.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Test::WWW::Mechanize::Maypole 'BeerDB';
$ENV{MAYPOLE_TEMPLATES} = 'path/to/templates';
my $mech = Test::WWW::Mechanize::Maypole->new;
#
# basic tests:
#
$mech->get_ok( "http://localhost/beerdb/"; );
is( $mech->ct, "text/html" );
$mech->content_contains( 'This is the frontpage' );
#
# logging in and storing cookies:
#
$mech->get_ok("http://localhost/beerdb/customer/buybeer";);
$mech->content_contains( 'Login to BeerDB', 'got login page' );
# specify which form we're interested in
$mech->form_number(1); # the 1st form
# fill in credentials
$mech->field( 'username' => 'landlord' );
$mech->field( 'password' => 'handpump' );
# get a HTTP::Response back
my $response = $mech->click_button( name => 'submit' );
like( $response->content, qr/Shop for beer/, 'got customer/buybeer page' );
# check our cookies give access to other pages
$mech->get_ok( "http://localhost/beerdb/customer/edit"; );
$mech->content_contains( 'Update your details', "got customer
account edit page");
# ... see Test::WWW::Mechanize for many more test methods
