Make artificially set parameter available from validator

[usr345]

I use Mojolicious command for testing a controller function. I artificially set the params for the controller inside a command:

`sub run {
my ($self, @Args) = @_;

$self->app->controller_class('WWW::Orders');
my $c = $self->app->build_controller;

$c->param('name' => 'test');
$c->process_order();

}
`

Controller function looks like this:

`sub process_order {
my $c = shift;

my $v = $c->validation;
print Dumper($v->param('name')); # prints undef
print Dumper($c->param('name')); # prints "test"

`

Is it possible to set the parameter so it was available from the validator?

Controller actions are normally tested using Test::Mojo or manually with Mojolicious::Command::get, in either case loaded from the application and passed the route to the action.

I understand that my case is not a usual one. I have 2 databases: one is my small personal database and another is a big development one used by other programmers. I am trying to write closed tests that will use only my small database. But I can't write a GET request cause it will require copying a lot of extra tables from the main database to process.

I found that I can set parameters for the controller. Validator parameters is the only thing left.

You have direct access to the validation parameters. See https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojolicious/Validator/Validation input and output. I sometimes use this to give optional elements a default value if they we not chosen, or to overwrite a user choice.
