How can I fake request.POST and GET params for unit testing in Flask?

Question

I would like to fake request parameters for unit testing. How can I achieve this in Flask?

If you prefer to use test_request_context:

import unittest
from myapp import extract_query_params

testapp = flask.Flask(__name__)

class TestFoo(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_happy(self):
        with testapp.test_request_context('?limit=1&offset=2'):
            limit, offset = extract_query_params(['limit', 'offset'])
            self.assertEquals(limit, 1)
            self.assertEquals(offset, 2)
