Usage

As a context manager for requests Session instances

The requests_staticmock

import requests
import requests_staticmock

session = requests.Session()
with requests_staticmock.mock_session_with_fixtures(session, 'tests/fixtures', 'http://test_context.com'):
    # will return a response object with the contents of tests/fixtures/test.json
    response = new_session.request('get', 'http://test_context.com/test.json')

As an adapter

You can inject the requests_staticmock adapter into an existing (or new) requests session to mock out a particular URL or domain, e.g.

import requests
from requests_staticmock import Adapter

session = requests.Session()
special_adapter = Adapter('fixtures')
session.mount('http://specialwebsite.com', special_adapter)
session.request('http://normal.com/api/example') # works as normal
session.request('http://specialwebsite.com') # returns static mocks

Class adapter

Instead of using a static asset adapter, you can use an adapter that expects an internal method to respond with a string, e.g.

GET /test/example.xml will call method _test_example_xml(self, request)

GET /test/example.xml?query=param will call method _test_example_xml(self, request)

This can be used via requests_staticmock.ClassAdapter or the context manager

import requests
import requests_staticmock


class MyTestClass(requests_staticmock.BaseMockClass):
    def _api_v1_idea(self, request):
        return "woop woop"

session = requests.Session()
with requests_staticmock.mock_session_with_class(session, MyTestClass, 'http://test_context.com'):
    # will return a response object with the contents 'woop woop'
    response = new_session.request('get', 'http://test_context.com/api/v1/idea')

Class adapter with unpacked requests

The class adapter supports unpacking of the following components, just add these keyword arguments to your callback methods and the class adapter will match them to the arguments.

  • method - The HTTP verb, e.g. GET
  • url - The full URL
  • params - The dict with the request parameters
  • headers - The request headers
  • body - The request body text
import requests
import requests_staticmock

class_session = Session()
class TestMockClass(BaseMockClass):
    def _api_v1_idea(self, method, params, headers):
        if params['special'] == 'value':
            return 'yes'
    def _api_v1_brillo(self, url, body):
        if json.loads(body)['special'] == 'value':
            return 'yes'

a = ClassAdapter(TestMockClass)

session = requests.Session()
with requests_staticmock.mock_session_with_class(session, MyTestClass, 'http://test_context.com'):
    response = new_session.request('get', 'http://test_context.com/api/v1/idea')
