can i use the test host directly without using withTestApplication?

[christophsturm]

i have unit tests that spin up ktor on a random port and send request to it, and i want to convert them to use the test host for performance reasons

[christophsturm]

something like

val testApplication = ...
testApplication.handleRequest(...)
testApplication.close()

[mp]

AFAIK the point of the test infrastructure is to not open a port etc.

[christophsturm]

exactly. and i already got it working

[christophsturm]

val te = TestApplicationEngine(environment = createTestEnvironment {
                module(Application::main)
            }) {}.apply { start() }

            te.handleRequest(...)
            te.stop(0, 0, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
