Testing Url Mappings

If you have to support legacy urls, want some quick feedback when putting your url mappings together or want to verify the parameters are being parsed correctly, here's a little grails integration-test snippet that you may find useful:

def grailsUrlMappingsHolderBean

void testMappingForPersonController() {
def mappingInfo = grailsUrlMappingsHolderBean.match('/person/pain')
assertEquals 'person', mappingInfo.controllerName
assertEquals 'show', mappingInfo.actionName
assertEquals 'pain', mappingInfo.parameters.id
}

The grails testing plugin provides custom assertions for doing this and more (assertUrlMapping etc.).
