🐍🧪Pytest plugin

The plugin works by applying monkeypatches of interceptors for different libraries using a wrapper response.activate. The interceptors when applied can capture, prevent or mock the connection request.

The available interceptors are listed in response.available method.

Example of using the decorator:

import urllib3
from pytest_response import response

response.configure(remote=True, capture=True, response=False)

@response.activate("urllib3")
def get_url():
    http = urllib3.PoolManager()
    url = "https://www.python.org"

    # Since the interceptors are in response mode, the response data and headers
    # will be spoofed with saved data in the database;
    # if the query comes back empty, this request will
    # error out with :class:`pytest_response.exceptions.ResponseNotFound`
    res = http.request("GET", url)
    assert res.status == 200
    assert res.data

Handling requests:

• Block remote requests:

  all requests are allowed by default; one can disable them using --remote-block flag

$ pytest --remote-block

• Capture remote requests:

  the requests can be captured in a sqlite3 database using --remote-capture arg

$ pytest --remote-capture

• Mock remote requests:

  the requests can be mocked using --remote-response

$ pytest --remote-response

🐱‍👤Standalone package

The tools implemented in this package can be easily ported to any other application, with mimial config required.

from pytest_response import response

response.setup_database({DUMP FILE})
response.post({INTERCEPTOR})
...
response.unpost()
