The Ktor 2.0 tests environment and its testApllicationn and externalServices is a great improvment !
Unfortunately I have a problem to test external services with timeouts. I don't know if I miss something or if it is a bug.

package com.example

import io.ktor.client.*
import io.ktor.client.plugins.*
import io.ktor.client.request.*
import io.ktor.http.*
import io.ktor.server.application.*
import io.ktor.server.response.*
import io.ktor.server.routing.*
import io.ktor.server.testing.*
import kotlin.test.Test
import kotlin.test.assertEquals


fun Application.configureRouting(httpClient: HttpClient) {
    routing {
        get("/test") {
            httpClient.get("<http://fake.site.io/toto>") {
                timeout {
                    requestTimeoutMillis = 100
                }
            }
            call.respondText("Hello World!")
        }
    }
}


class ApplicationTest {
    @Test
    fun testRoot() = testApplication {

        val myClient = createClient {
            install(HttpTimeout)
        }

        application {
            configureRouting(myClient)
        }

        externalServices {
            hosts ("<http://fake.site.io>") {
                routing {
                    get("/toto") {
                        call.respond(HttpStatusCode.OK)
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        myClient.get("/test").apply {
            assertEquals(HttpStatusCode.OK, status)
        }
    }
}

When I execute this code, I receive this exception.

Each engine has a list of capabilities that can include HttpTimeout , WebSocketCapability , and WebSocketExtensionsCapability . Unfortunately, the engine that is used for testing a server doesn’t support HttpTimeout capability.

[Laurent SOULET]

Ok. The problem is that I don't need to test the timeout feature but just test that my route is called and because of this timeout set in the request builder I can't test the call of the route.
Is there a possible workaround ?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Unfortunately, I can’t find a workaround. I’ve created an issue to address this problem.

[Laurent SOULET]

Thanks a lot 👍
