Quick Start

Here's a simple example of how to use the library in your Robot Framework tests:

*** Settings ***
Library    FastHTTPMock
Library    RequestsLibrary

*** Test Cases ***
Mock Simple API Response
    Start Mock Server port=8000
    
    # Define mock interaction
    ${request}=    Create Dictionary   method=GET  path=/api/users
    ${response}=    Create Dictionary  status=200  body={"users": ["user1", "user2"]}
    ${id}=    Add Mock Interaction    ${request}    ${response}
    
    # Make request to mock server
    ${resp}=    GET    http://localhost:8000/api/users
    Should Be Equal As Strings    ${resp.status_code}    200
    
    # Verify the interaction
    Verify Interaction Called    ${id}    1
    [Teardown]    Stop Mock Server

Advanced Usage

Multiple Endpoints Example

*** Test Cases ***
Mock Multiple API Endpoints
    Start Mock Server    port=8000
    
    # Mock GET endpoint
    ${get_request}=    Create Dictionary   method=GET  path=/api/users/1
    ${get_response}=    Create Dictionary  status=200  body={"id": 1, "name": "John Doe"}
    ${get_id}=    Add Mock Interaction    ${get_request}    ${get_response}
    
    # Mock POST endpoint
    ${post_request}=    Create Dictionary  method=POST path=/api/users
    ${post_response}=    Create Dictionary    status=201  body={"message": "User created"}
    ${post_id}=    Add Mock Interaction    ${post_request}    ${post_response}
    
    # Test both endpoints
    ${get_resp}=    GET    http://localhost:8000/api/users/1
    Should Be Equal As Strings    ${get_resp.status_code}    200
    ${post_resp}=    POST    http://localhost:8000/api/users
    Should Be Equal As Strings    ${post_resp.status_code}    201
    [Teardown]    Stop Mock Server
