testcontainers-mockserver

A Testcontainers module for MockServer in Python.

Starts a mockserver/mockserver Docker container, waits for readiness, and provides convenient accessors for the mapped host, port, and URL.

Installation

pip install testcontainers-mockserver

Usage

from testcontainers_mockserver import MockServerContainer
import requests

with MockServerContainer() as mockserver:
    url = mockserver.get_url()  # e.g. "http://localhost:49152"

    # Create an expectation
    requests.put(f"{url}/mockserver/expectation", json={
        "httpRequest": {"method": "GET", "path": "/hello"},
        "httpResponse": {"statusCode": 200, "body": "world"},
    })

    # Match it
    resp = requests.get(f"{url}/hello")
    assert resp.text == "world"
