=== The Basics

Tag libraries and GSP pages can be tested with the
`grails.testing.web.taglib.TagLibUnitTest` trait.

[source,groovy]
.grails-app/taglib/demo/SampleTagLib.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/grails-app/taglib/demo/SampleTagLib.groovy[tags=basic_declaration;hello_world,indent=0]
----

[source,groovy]
.src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy[tags=basic_declaration;test_simple_tag_as_method,indent=0]
----

Adding the `TagLibUnitTest` trait to a test causes a new `tagLib` field to be
automatically created for the TagLib class under test.  The `tagLib` property can
be used to test calling tags as function calls. The return value of a function
call is either a `org.grails.buffer,StreamCharBuffer`
instance or the object returned from the tag closure when
`returnObjectForTags` feature is used.

To test a tag which accepts parameters, specify the parameter values as named
arguments to the method call.

[source,groovy]
.grails-app/taglib/demo/SampleTagLib.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/grails-app/taglib/demo/SampleTagLib.groovy[tags=basic_declaration;say_hello,indent=0]
----
[source,groovy]
.src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy[tags=basic_declaration;test_tag_as_method_with_parameters,indent=0]
----

Alternatively, tags may be tested with the `applyTemplate` method which accepts
a `String` parameter that will be evaluated as if it were source code in a GSP.

[source,groovy]
.src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy[tags=basic_declaration;test_simple_tag_with_applyTemplate,indent=0]
----

The `applyTemplate` method accepts an optional second argument which is a `Map`
containing model variables which may be accessed in the GSP snippet that is
past as the first argument to `applyTemplate` as shown below.

[source,groovy]
.grails-app/taglib/demo/SampleTagLib.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/grails-app/taglib/demo/SampleTagLib.groovy[tags=basic_declaration;render_some_number,indent=0]
----
[source,groovy]
.src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/src/test/groovy/demo/SampleTagLibSpec.groovy[tags=basic_declaration;test_with_model,indent=0]
----

NOTE: The String being passed as the first argument to `applyTemplate` includes
a Groovy String expression (`"${x + y}"`) that needs to be evaluated when the GSP snippet is
evaluated, not when the code in the test is evaluated.  Because of that it is
important that the containing String be surrounded by single quotes, not double
quotes.  `'<demo:renderSomeNumber value="${x + y}"/>'` works.
`"<demo:renderSomeNumber value='${x + y}'/>"` would not.

=== Mocking Tag Libraries

In order to test a tag library which invokes tags from another tag library,
the second tag library needs to be explicitly mocked by invoking the
`mockTagLib` method.

[source,groovy]
.grails-app/taglib/demo/FirstTagLib.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/grails-app/taglib/demo/FirstTagLib.groovy[tags=basic_declaration,indent=0]
----

[source,groovy]
.grails-app/taglib/demo/SecondTagLib.groovy
----
include::{functionalSourceDir}/demo33/grails-app/taglib/demo/SecondTagLib.groovy[tags=basic_declaration,indent=0]
----

[source,groovy]
