Httpsrv

Simple http server for API mocking during automated testing Plays nicely with httpsrvvcr library for automated request recording

Example usage

A typical usage pattern would probably look like the one below.

Using requests library:

import unittest
import requests
from httpsrv import Server

server = Server(8080).start()

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        server.reset()

    def test_should_get_hello(self):
        # this means that server will respond once upon GET request
        # further GET requests on this path will get 500
        server.on('GET', '/').text('hello')
        res = requests.get('http://localhost:8080')
        assert res.text == 'hello'

    def test_should_always_respond_to_options(self):
        # this means that any OPTIONS request will get status 200
        # such behavior is particulary useful when mocking preflight queries
        server.always('OPTIONS').status(200)
        res = requests.get('http://localhost:8080')
        assert res.status_code == 200
