Websocket support (django channels)

Is it possible to configure behave-django to test django apps with channels integrated?

For WSGI there is wsgiref used right in the documentation:

import threading
from wsgiref import simple_server
from selenium import webdriver
from my_application import model
from my_application import web_app

def before_all(context):
    context.server = simple_server.WSGIServer(('', 8000))
    context.server.set_app(web_app.main(environment='test’))
    context.thread = threading.Thread(target=context.server.serve_forever) context.thread.start()
    context.browser = webdriver.Chrome() 

However Django channels is using ASGI and daphne: http://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/asgi.html

Currently I’m deploying my app (for debugging) by:

$ venv/bin/daphne <app>.asgi:channel_layer --port 80 --bind 0.0.0.0 -v2
$ venv/bin/python manage.py runworker --settings=<app>.settings -v2

How can I configure behave-django to use daphne (and use runworker…)

I tried to set “context.server” in “before_all”, googled a lot but I still can’t figure it out.

Should I override DjangoBehaveTestSuiteRunner and if so, how?

Sorry @UrAvgProgrammer but I haven’t looked at Channels since early 2017 when we decided to drop channels and move to a polling solution based on vanilla Django.

Hello all, @proofit404 has contributed a significant amount of work for a ChannelLiveServerTestCase in https://github.com/django/channels/pull/497. 🥇

Please clone the changes, try the code, and give feedback! As soon as we have confirmed that this works as needed it’s probably going to be merged into django/channel master. Hurry! 🚀 Thank you.
