How to register a browser layer programmatically

I know that a browser layer can be registered using GenericSetup and one XML file, but I need to make it programmatically.

Is this possible?

Solution

  • Here you go:

    >>> from plone.browserlayer.tests.interfaces import IMyProductLayer
>>> from plone.browserlayer import utils
>>> IMyProductLayer in utils.registered_layers()
False

>>> utils.register_layer(IMyProductLayer, name='my.product')
>>> IMyProductLayer in utils.registered_layers()
True

    If you just want to have a browser layer present in a test request, you can use the ZCA and directly provide the browser layer interface to a test request:

    from zope.interface import directlyProvides
from my.product.interfaces import IMyProductBrowserLayer
directlyProvides(self.request, IMyProductBrowserLayer)
