Requests-testing

A utility library for mocking out the requests Python library.

Starting with requests-testing

Here is a simple example:

import requests
import requests_testing


@requests_testing.activate
def example():
    requests_testing.add(request={'url': 'http://example.com'}, response={'body': 'ok'})
    resp = requests.get('http://example.com')

    assert resp.text == 'ok'
    assert len(requests_testing.calls) == 1
    assert requests_testing.calls[0].request.url == 'http://example.com/'

If your attempts to fetch a url which doesn't hit a match, ConnectionError will raise:

import requests
import requests_testing

from requests.exceptions import ConnectionError

@responses.activate
def test_error():
    with pytest.raises(ConnectionError):
        requests.get('http://example.com')
