A utility library for mocking out the `requests` Python library.

.. note::

Responses requires Python 2.7 or newer, and requests >= 2.0


Installing
----------

``pip install responses``


Basics
------

The core of ``responses`` comes from registering mock responses:

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

@responses.activate
def test_simple():
responses.add(responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar',
json={'error': 'not found'}, status=404)

resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')

assert resp.json() == {"error": "not found"}

assert len(responses.calls) == 1
assert responses.calls[0].request.url == 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar'
assert responses.calls[0].response.text == '{"error": "not found"}'

If you attempt to fetch a url which doesn't hit a match, ``responses`` will raise
a ``ConnectionError``:

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

from requests.exceptions import ConnectionError

@responses.activate
def test_simple():
with pytest.raises(ConnectionError):
requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')

Lastly, you can pass an ``Exception`` as the body to trigger an error on the request:

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

@responses.activate
def test_simple():
responses.add(responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar',
body=Exception('...'))
with pytest.raises(Exception):
requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')


Response Parameters
-------------------

Responses are automatically registered via params on ``add``, but can also be
passed directly:

.. code-block:: python

import responses

responses.add(
responses.Response(
method='GET',
url='http://example.com',
)
)

The following attributes can be passed to a Response mock:

method (``str``)
The HTTP method (GET, POST, etc).

url (``str`` or compiled regular expression)
The full resource URL.

match_querystring (``bool``)
Include the query string when matching requests.
Enabled by default if the response URL contains a query string,
disabled if it doesn't or the URL is a regular expression.

body (``str`` or ``BufferedReader``)
The response body.

json
A Python object representing the JSON response body. Automatically configures
the appropriate Content-Type.

status (``int``)
The HTTP status code.

content_type (``content_type``)
Defaults to ``text/plain``.

headers (``dict``)
Response headers.

stream (``bool``)
Disabled by default. Indicates the response should use the streaming API.


Dynamic Responses
-----------------

You can utilize callbacks to provide dynamic responses. The callback must return
a tuple of (``status``, ``headers``, ``body``).

.. code-block:: python

import json

import responses
import requests

@responses.activate
def test_calc_api():

def request_callback(request):
payload = json.loads(request.body)
resp_body = {'value': sum(payload['numbers'])}
headers = {'request-id': '728d329e-0e86-11e4-a748-0c84dc037c13'}
return (200, headers, json.dumps(resp_body))

responses.add_callback(
responses.POST, 'http://calc.com/sum',
callback=request_callback,
content_type='application/json',
)

resp = requests.post(
'http://calc.com/sum',
json.dumps({'numbers': [1, 2, 3]}),
headers={'content-type': 'application/json'},
)

assert resp.json() == {'value': 6}

assert len(responses.calls) == 1
assert responses.calls[0].request.url == 'http://calc.com/sum'
assert responses.calls[0].response.text == '{"value": 6}'
assert (
responses.calls[0].response.headers['request-id'] ==
'728d329e-0e86-11e4-a748-0c84dc037c13'
)

You can also pass a compiled regex to `add_callback` to match multiple urls:

.. code-block:: python

import re, json

from functools import reduce

import responses
import requests

operators = {
'sum': lambda x, y: x+y,
'prod': lambda x, y: x*y,
'pow': lambda x, y: x**y
}

@responses.activate
def test_regex_url():

def request_callback(request):
payload = json.loads(request.body)
operator_name = request.path_url[1:]

operator = operators[operator_name]

resp_body = {'value': reduce(operator, payload['numbers'])}
headers = {'request-id': '728d329e-0e86-11e4-a748-0c84dc037c13'}
return (200, headers, json.dumps(resp_body))

responses.add_callback(
responses.POST,
re.compile('http://calc.com/(sum|prod|pow|unsupported)'),
callback=request_callback,
content_type='application/json',
)

resp = requests.post(
'http://calc.com/prod',
json.dumps({'numbers': [2, 3, 4]}),
headers={'content-type': 'application/json'},
)
assert resp.json() == {'value': 24}

test_regex_url()


If you want to pass extra keyword arguments to the callback function, for example when reusing
a callback function to give a slightly different result, you can use ``functools.partial``:

.. code-block:: python

from functools import partial

...

def request_callback(request, id=None):
payload = json.loads(request.body)
resp_body = {'value': sum(payload['numbers'])}
headers = {'request-id': id}
return (200, headers, json.dumps(resp_body))

responses.add_callback(
responses.POST, 'http://calc.com/sum',
callback=partial(request_callback, id='728d329e-0e86-11e4-a748-0c84dc037c13'),
content_type='application/json',
)


Responses as a context manager
------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

def test_my_api():
with responses.RequestsMock() as rsps:
rsps.add(responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar',
body='{}', status=200,
content_type='application/json')
resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')

assert resp.status_code == 200

# outside the context manager requests will hit the remote server
resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
resp.status_code == 404

Responses as a pytest fixture
-----------------------------

.. code-block:: python

@pytest.fixture
def mocked_responses():
with responses.RequestsMock() as rsps:
yield rsps

def test_api(mocked_responses):
mocked_responses.add(
responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar',
body='{}', status=200,
content_type='application/json')
resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
assert resp.status_code == 200

Assertions on declared responses
--------------------------------

When used as a context manager, Responses will, by default, raise an assertion
error if a url was registered but not accessed. This can be disabled by passing
the ``assert_all_requests_are_fired`` value:

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

def test_my_api():
with responses.RequestsMock(assert_all_requests_are_fired=False) as rsps:
rsps.add(responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar',
body='{}', status=200,
content_type='application/json')


Multiple Responses
------------------

You can also add multiple responses for the same url:

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

@responses.activate
def test_my_api():
responses.add(responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar', status=500)
responses.add(responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar',
body='{}', status=200,
content_type='application/json')

resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
assert resp.status_code == 500
resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
assert resp.status_code == 200


Using a callback to modify the response
---------------------------------------

If you use customized processing in `requests` via subclassing/mixins, or if you
have library tools that interact with `requests` at a low level, you may need
to add extended processing to the mocked Response object to fully simulate the
environment for your tests. A `response_callback` can be used, which will be
wrapped by the library before being returned to the caller. The callback
accepts a `response` as it's single argument, and is expected to return a
single `response` object.

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

def response_callback(resp):
resp.callback_processed = True
return resp

with responses.RequestsMock(response_callback=response_callback) as m:
m.add(responses.GET, 'http://example.com', body=b'test')
resp = requests.get('http://example.com')
assert resp.text == "test"
assert hasattr(resp, 'callback_processed')
assert resp.callback_processed is True


Passing thru real requests
--------------------------

In some cases you may wish to allow for certain requests to pass thru responses
and hit a real server. This can be done with the 'passthru' methods:

.. code-block:: python

import responses

@responses.activate
def test_my_api():
responses.add_passthru('https://percy.io')

This will allow any requests matching that prefix, that is otherwise not registered
as a mock response, to passthru using the standard behavior.


Viewing/Modifying registered responses
--------------------------------------

Registered responses are available as a private attribute of the RequestMock
instance. It is sometimes useful for debugging purposes to view the stack of
registered responses which can be accessed via ``responses.mock._matches``.

The ``replace`` function allows a previously registered ``response`` to be
changed. The method signature is identical to ``add``. ``response``s are
identified using ``method`` and ``url``. Only the first matched ``response`` is
replaced.

.. code-block:: python

import responses
import requests

@responses.activate
def test_replace():

responses.add(responses.GET, 'http://example.org', json={'data': 1})
responses.replace(responses.GET, 'http://example.org', json={'data': 2})

resp = requests.get('http://example.org')

assert resp.json() == {'data': 2}


``remove`` takes a ``method`` and ``url`` argument and will remove *all*
matched ``response``s from the registered list.

Finally, ``clear`` will reset all registered ``response``s
