Integrates the Hoverfly HTTP proxy into Pytest
Project description
Pytest Hoverfly Wrapper
This pytest
plugin allows easy integration of Hoverfly into your tests. Hoverfly is a proxy server that can intercept requests and return custom responses. More info on Hoverfly: https://hoverfly.io/
Installation
Clone the repository and then install using setup.py
:
python setup.py install
This will also automatically install the plugin's dependencies. Alternatively, install via pip
:
pip install pytest-hoverfly-wrapper
Testing
The quickest way is to run tox:
pip install tox
tox -e <py35/py36/etc>
You can also run in pytest to make use of its debugging tools: (Assumes you have a virtual environment set up for a compatible Python version - see setup.py for compatible versions)
python setup.py install
pip install -r requirements-test.txt
pytest tests/
end_to_end
tests the plugin's integration with a Pytest framework: each test consists of a pytest script that gets
fed into pytester and run inside a virtual Pytest environment. The result of that is asserted against. The reason we
need this is to test failure modes, which would cause the test to fail.
unit
contains tests for individual functions.
Usage example
Cache responses to external services
Adding the setup_hoverfly
fixture will stand up a Hoverfly server instance running on port 8500. You can then use this
as a proxy that saves the responses to any requests make via the proxy. If the test passes, the saved responses will be dumped
to file, which will be used when the test runs again.
# Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points)
from pytest_hoverfly_wrapper import GeneratedSimulation
import requests
import pytest
@pytest.mark.simulated(GeneratedSimulation(file="some_file.json"))
def test_something(setup_hoverfly):
proxy_port = setup_hoverfly[1]
proxies = {
"http": "http://localhost:{}".format(proxy_port),
"https": "http://localhost:{}".format(proxy_port),
}
requests.get("https://urlwedontwanttospam.com", proxies=proxies)
After running the test for the first time, you will find a file located at ./test_data/generated/some_file.json
,
containing all the requests made using the proxy, as well as the responses to them. Upon running the test the second time,
the test will load the file and attempt to match requests to the list in the file. If a successful match is found, the matching
response will be served. If not, the request will be made to its original target and the target's response will be served instead.
Completely fake responses
You can also specify your own custom responses.
# Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points)
from pytest_hoverfly_wrapper import StaticSimulation
import requests
import pytest
@pytest.mark.simulated(StaticSimulation(files=["google_returns_404.json"]))
def test_something(setup_hoverfly):
proxy_port = setup_hoverfly[1]
proxies = {
"http": "http://localhost:{}".format(proxy_port),
"https": "http://localhost:{}".format(proxy_port),
}
r = requests.get("http://google.com", proxies=proxies)
assert r.status_code == 404

Hoverfly crashes
Occasionally, the Hoverfly proxy might crash mid-test. If this happens, the test will raise HoverflyCrashException
,
which gives you clarity of why the test failed and can be caught in your testing framework as part of some test retrying
logic.
Logging
pytest-hoverfly-wrapper
uses the in-built logging
module for logs. To import the logger:
import logging
from pytest_hoverfly_wrapper import LOGGER_NAME
hoverfly_logger = logging.getLogger(LOGGER_NAME)
Then customise the logger as necessary.
Debugging
In all scenarios, when a response is sent by Hoverfly rather than a remote server, that response will have the Hoverfly-Cache-Served
header set. This differentiates the two types of response, and helps debug situations where you think a response is being served by Hoverfly
but isn't, e.g. when Hoverfly fails to match the request even though you're expecting it to.
At the end of the test, the plugin will create a network.json
file containing the list of all requests made (and responses received)
during the test, including parameters and headers.
