A socket mock framework

Versioning

Starting from 3.7.0, Mocket major version will follow the same numbering pattern as Python’s and therefore indicate the most recent Python version that is supported.

Support it

Star the project on GitHub, Buy Me a Coffee clicking the button below or, even better, contribute with patches or documentation.

Thanks to @felixonmars Mocket is available in the Arch Linux repository.

How to use it

Read these three blog posts if you want to have a big picture of what Mocket is capable of:

• https://medium.com/p/mocket-is-alive-and-is-fighting-with-us-b2810d52597a

• https://hackernoon.com/make-development-great-again-faab769d264e

• https://hackernoon.com/httpretty-now-supports-asyncio-e310814704c6

The starting point to understand how to use Mocket to write a custom mock is the following example:

• https://github.com/mindflayer/mocketoy

As next step, you are invited to have a look at both the implementation of the two mocks it provides:

• HTTP mock (similar to HTTPretty) - https://github.com/mindflayer/python-mocket/blob/master/mocket/mockhttp.py

• Redis mock (basic implementation) - https://github.com/mindflayer/python-mocket/blob/master/mocket/mockredis.py

Please also have a look at the huge test suite:

• Tests module at https://github.com/mindflayer/python-mocket/tree/master/tests

Installation

Using pip:

$ pip install mocket

Speedups

Mocket uses xxhash when available instead of hashlib.md5 for creating hashes, you can install it as follows:

$ pip install mocket[speedups]

Issues

When opening an Issue, please add few lines of code as failing test, or -better- open its relative Pull request adding this test to our test suite.

Quick example of its HTTP mock

Let’s create a new virtualenv with all we need:

$ virtualenv example
$ source example/bin/activate
$ pip install pytest requests mocket

As second step, we create an example.py file as the following one:

import json

from mocket import mocketize
from mocket.mockhttp import Entry
import requests
import pytest


@pytest.fixture
def response():
    return {
        "integer": 1,
        "string": "asd",
        "boolean": False,
    }


@mocketize  # use its decorator
def test_json(response):
    url_to_mock = 'https://testme.org/json'

    Entry.single_register(
        Entry.GET,
        url_to_mock,
        body=json.dumps(response),
        headers={'content-type': 'application/json'}
    )

    mocked_response = requests.get(url_to_mock).json()

    assert response == mocked_response

# OR use its context manager
from mocket import Mocketizer

def test_json_with_context_manager(response):
    url_to_mock = 'https://testme.org/json'

    Entry.single_register(
        Entry.GET,
        url_to_mock,
        body=json.dumps(response),
        headers={'content-type': 'application/json'}
    )

    with Mocketizer():
        mocked_response = requests.get(url_to_mock).json()

    assert response == mocked_response

Let’s fire our example test:

$ py.test example.py

HTTPretty compatibility layer

Mocket HTTP mock can work as HTTPretty replacement for many different use cases. Two main features are missing:

• URL entries containing regular expressions;

• response body from functions.

Two features which are against the Zen of Python, at least imho (mindflayer), but of course I am open to call it into question.

Example:

import json

import aiohttp
import asyncio
import async_timeout
from unittest import TestCase

from mocket.plugins.httpretty import HTTPretty, httprettified


class AioHttpEntryTestCase(TestCase):
    @httprettified
    def test_https_session(self):
        url = 'https://httpbin.org/ip'
        HTTPretty.register_uri(
            HTTPretty.GET,
            url,
            body=json.dumps(dict(origin='127.0.0.1')),
        )

        async def main(l):
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=l) as session:
                with async_timeout.timeout(3):
                    async with session.get(url) as get_response:
                        assert get_response.status == 200
                        assert await get_response.text() == '{"origin": "127.0.0.1"}'

        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        loop.set_debug(True)
        loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))

What about the other socket animals?

Using Mocket with asyncio based clients:

$ pip install aiohttp

Example:

class AioHttpEntryTestCase(TestCase):
    @mocketize
    def test_http_session(self):
        url = 'http://httpbin.org/ip'
        body = "asd" * 100
        Entry.single_register(Entry.GET, url, body=body, status=404)
        Entry.single_register(Entry.POST, url, body=body*2, status=201)

        async def main(l):
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=l) as session:
                with async_timeout.timeout(3):
                    async with session.get(url) as get_response:
                        assert get_response.status == 404
                        assert await get_response.text() == body

                with async_timeout.timeout(3):
                    async with session.post(url, data=body * 6) as post_response:
                        assert post_response.status == 201
                        assert await post_response.text() == body * 2

        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))

# or again with a unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase
from mocket.async_mocket import async_mocketize

class AioHttpEntryTestCase(IsolatedAsyncioTestCase):
    @async_mocketize
    async def test_http_session(self):
        url = 'http://httpbin.org/ip'
        body = "asd" * 100
        Entry.single_register(Entry.GET, url, body=body, status=404)
        Entry.single_register(Entry.POST, url, body=body * 2, status=201)

        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            with async_timeout.timeout(3):
                async with session.get(url) as get_response:
                    assert get_response.status == 404
                    assert await get_response.text() == body

            with async_timeout.timeout(3):
                async with session.post(url, data=body * 6) as post_response:
                    assert post_response.status == 201
                    assert await post_response.text() == body * 2
                    assert Mocket.last_request().method == 'POST'
                    assert Mocket.last_request().body == body * 6

Works well with others

Using Mocket as pook engine:

$ pip install mocket[pook]

Example:

import pook
from mocket.plugins.pook_mock_engine import MocketEngine

pook.set_mock_engine(MocketEngine)

pook.on()

url = 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar'
status = 404
response_json = {'error': 'foo'}

mock = pook.get(
    url,
    headers={'content-type': 'application/json'},
    reply=status,
    response_json=response_json,
)
mock.persist()

requests.get(url)
assert mock.calls == 1

resp = requests.get(url)
assert resp.status_code == status
assert resp.json() == response_json
assert mock.calls == 2
