Check remote calls via request

Project description

Build Status PyPI

A tool to check for remote calls via the requests module.

Find out which external apis your code is calling.

Optionally:
  • Find where calls are taking place.

  • Capture the responses and response status codes.

  • Filter by domain

  • Run as a server for parallel tests

2.x Notes:
  • Now mocks the send() method on requests’ HTTPAdapter class.

  • Now monitor-requests instead of MonitorRequests

Installation

pip install monitor-requests

Usage

import unittest
import monitor_requests
from example import example_method

class ExampleTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        cls.monitor = monitor_requests.Monitor()

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        print('External calls for example:')
        # Optionally pass tracebacks=False to skip outputing tracebacks
        # Report will call .stop() by default.
        cls.monitor.report(tracebacks=False)

    def test_example_method(self):
        result = example_method()
        self.assertEqual(result.status_code, 200)

if __name__ == 'main':
    unittest.main()

To filter what domains are captured:

# Only capture facebook and google requests:
monitor = monitor_requests.Monitor(
    domains=['facebook\.com', 'google\.com']
)

To set this up inside a django test runner: (This will only work at the suite level if running tests in serial. Depending on your setup you may need to run with –parallel=1). Alternatively there are instructions further down on how to use Server Moder to push data asynchronously to an included tornado data server.

def run_suite(self, suite, **kwargs):
    monitor = monitor_requests.Monitor()
    test_result = super(ReelioTestRunner, self).run_suite(suite, **kwargs)
    monitor.report()
    return test_result

To set up inside a py.test session fixture:

@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def session_fixture():
    monitor = monitor_requests.Monitor()
    yield
    monitor.report()

To write to a file:

@classmethod
def tearDownClass(cls):
    with open('output.txt', 'w') as f:
        cls.monitor.report(output=f)

For finer tuned control over output:

  • Use debug=True to show urls, responses, and tracebacks.

  • Use urls=True to show urls.

  • Use tracebacks=True or respones=True to show tracebacks or responses (urls will be shown as well, as both tracebacks and responses are organized by url).

*Server Mode*

If you want to activate monitor_requests for an entire test suite running parallel, you can run the included tornado server to persist request data:

monitor_requests_server --port=9003
def run_suite(self, suite, **kwargs):
    # Make sure to turn off mocking at the suit or session level.
    monitor = monitor_requests.Monitor(server_port=9003, mocking=False)
    test_result = super(ReelioTestRunner, self).run_suite(suite, **kwargs)
    monitor.report()
    return test_result

You will need to do additional calls in your TestCase classes:

class ExampleTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        # Same port, and same domain filtering if applicable.
        cls.monitor = monitor_requests.Monitor(server_port=9003)

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        # Make sure to stop the mocking in the tear down.
        cls.monitor.stop()

Note that here there is no tearDownClass and no call to either stop() or report(). That only happens at the session level.
