Mockasite

⚠️ Work in Progress: This project is currently under development.

Description

Record and serve back a mock version of a website. It is particularly useful to work with a mock when using website automation tools like Selenium. The mock helps to avoid unnecessary interactions with a website's actual servers during development and testing phases.

Key Features

• Traffic Capture: Records web interactions for later use, capturing the dynamic behavior of the site.

• Mock Server: Replays captured data, offering a functioning interactive mock of the original website running in a browser for testing and development purposes.

• Export Standalone Server: Provides the capability to export a standalone server setup. This is ideal for integrating the mock website into other projects or for isolated testing environments.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing Mockasite, ensure that you have the build package installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install build

Then run the following command in the project's root directory to install mockasite:

make install

Usage

• Capture Mode: Use mockasite --capture to record and serve back a mock version of a website. To open the browser to a specific URL use --url <URL>.

• Review Capture: Use mockasite --review-capture to review the last capture.

• Delete Capture: Use mockasite --delete-capture to delete the last capture.

• Process: Use mockasite --process to process the last capture. This will extract and dump HTTP request and response data into a structured directory format.

• Review Processed: Use mockasite --review-processed to review processed files.

• Delete Processed: Use mockasite --delete-processed to delete processed files.

• Playback Mode: Use mockasite --playback to replay processed data as a functioning interactive mock of the original site.

• Export Functionality: Use mockasite --export to export a standalone server that serves the mock website.
