pook 0.1.7

HTTP traffic mocking and expectations made easy

pook

Versatile, expressive and hackable utility library for HTTP traffic mocking and expectations made easy in Python.

Heavily inspired by gock.

Note: still beta quality library. More docs, examples and better test coverage are still a work in progress.

Features

• Simple, expressive and fluent API.

• Provides both Pythonic and chainable DSL API styles.

• Full-featured HTTP response definitions and expectations.

• Matches any HTTP protocol primitive (URL, method, query params, headers, body…).

• Full regular expressions capable mock expectations matching.

• Supports most popular HTTP clients via interceptor adapters.

• Configurable volatile, persistent or TTL limited mocks.

• Works with any testing framework/engine (unittest, pytest, nosetests…).

• First-class JSON & XML support matching and responses.

• Supports JSON Schema body matching.

• Works in both runtime and testing environments.

• Can be used as decorator and/or via context managers.

• Supports real networking mode with optional traffic filtering.

• Map/filter mocks easily for generic or custom mock expectations.

• Custom user-defined mock matcher functions.

• Simulated raised error exceptions.

• Network delay simulation (only available for aiohttp).

• Pluggable and hackable API.

• Customizable HTTP traffic mock interceptor engine.

• Ideal for painless test doubles.

• Does not support WebSocket traffic mocking.

• Works with Python +2.7 and +3.0 (including PyPy).

• Dependency-less: just 2 small dependencies for JSONSchema and XML tree comparison.

Supported HTTP clients

• ✔ urllib3 / requests

• ✔ aiohttp

• ✔ urllib / http.client

• ✘ pycurl (see #16)

New HTTP clients can be supported in the future. PRs are welcome too.

Note: only recent HTTP client package versions were tested.

Installation

Using pip package manager (requires pip 1.8+):

pip install --upgrade pook

Or install the latest sources from Github:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/h2non/pook.git#egg=pook

Getting started

See ReadTheDocs documentation:

API

See annotated API reference documention.

Examples

See examples documentation for full featured code and use case examples.

Basic mocking:

import pook
import requests

@pook.activate
def test_my_api():
    mock = pook.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar', reply=404, response_json={'error': 'foo'})

    resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
    assert resp.status_code == 404
    assert resp.json() == {"error": "not found"}
    assert mock._matches == 1

Using the chainable API DSL:

import pook
import requests

@pook.on
def test_my_api():
    mock = (pook.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
              .reply(404)
              .json({'error': 'not found'}))

    resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
    assert resp.json() == {"error": "not found"}
    assert mock._matches == 1

Using the decorator:

import pook
import requests

@pook.get('http://httpbin.org/status/500', reply=204)
@pook.get('http://httpbin.org/status/400', reply=200)
def fetch(url):
    return requests.get(url)

res = fetch('http://httpbin.org/status/400')
print('#1 status:', res.status_code)

res = fetch('http://httpbin.org/status/500')
print('#2 status:', res.status_code)

Simple unittest integration:

import pook
import unittest
import requests


class TestUnitTestEngine(unittest.TestCase):

    @pook.activate
    def test_request(self):
        pook.get('server.com/foo').reply(204)
        res = requests.get('http://server.com/foo')
        self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 204)

    def test_request_with_context_manager(self):
        with pook.use():
            pook.get('server.com/bar', reply=204)
            res = requests.get('http://server.com/bar')
            self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 204)

Using the context manager for isolated HTTP traffic interception blocks:

import pook
import requests

# Enable HTTP traffic interceptor
with pook.use():
    pook.get('http://httpbin.org/status/500', reply=204)

    res = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/status/500')
    print('#1 status:', res.status_code)

# Interception-free HTTP traffic
res = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/status/200')
print('#2 status:', res.status_code)

Example using Hy language (Lisp dialect for Python):

(import [pook])
(import [requests])

(defn request [url &optional [status 404]]
  (doto (.mock pook url) (.reply status))
  (let [res (.get requests url)]
    (. res status_code)))

(defn run []
  (with [(.use pook)]
    (print "Status:" (request "http://server.com/foo" :status 204))))

;; Run test program
(defmain [&args] (run))
