While writing some patches for taxonomy_autocomplete, I found myself unable to easily write SimpleTest cases to test it, since it changes the browser header and outputs JSON.
I tried to test by buffering the output of the function, but had problems because json_decode didn't always successfully convert the result to a non-null object, even when the JSON result appeared valid.
This would be easier to test if the code in the taxonomy_autocomplete function broken out into a helper function that would return an array. This way, the helper function could be tested without dealing with JSON, and the taxonomy_autocomplete function could just serve as the callback to serve JSON to the browser.
The code would look something like this:
<?php
function taxonomy_autocomplete($vid, $string='') {
$matches = _taxonomy_autocomplete($vid, $string);
drupal_json($matches);
}
function _taxonomy_autocomplete($vid, $string='') {
// insert code from old taxonomy_autocomplete, but return the array of matches instead of outputting JSON.
}
?>
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on this?
