I am currently trying to write unit tests for my python code using Moto & #mock_dynamodb2 . So far it's been working for me to test my "successful operation" test cases. But I'm having trouble getting it to work for my "failure cases".
In my test code I have:
#mock_dynamodb2
class TestClassUnderTestExample(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
ddb = boto3.resource("dynamodb", "us-east-1")
self.table = ddb.create_table(<the table definition)
self.example_under_test = ClassUnderTestExample(ddb)
def test_some_thing_success(self):
expected_response = {<some value>}
assert expected_response = self.example_under_test.write_entry(<some value>)
def test_some_thing_success(self):
response = self.example_under_test.write_entry(<some value>)
# How to assert exception is thrown by forcing put item to fail?
The TestClassUnderTestExample would look something like this:
class ClassUnderTestExample:
def __init__(self, ddb_resource=None):
if not ddb_resource:
ddb_resource = boto3.resource('dynamodb')
self.table = ddb_resource.Table(.....)
def write_entry(some_value)
ddb_item = <do stuff with some_value to create sanitized item>
response = self.table.put_item(
Item=ddb_item
)
if pydash.get(response, "ResponseMetadata.HTTPStatusCode") != 200:
raise SomeCustomErrorType("Unexpected response from DynamoDB when attempting to PutItem")
return ddb_item
I've been completely stuck when it comes to actually mocking the .put_item operation to return a non-success value so that I can test that the ClassUnderTestExample will handle it as expected and throw the custom error. I've tried things like deleting the table before running the test, but that just throws an exception when getting the table rather than an executed PutItem with an error code.
I've also tried putting a patch for pydash or for the table above the test but I must be doing something wrong. I can't find anything in moto's documentation. Any help would be appreciated!
The goal of Moto is to completely mimick AWS' behaviour, including how to behave when the user supplies erroneous inputs. In other words, a call to put_item() that fails against AWS, would/should also fail against Moto.
There is no build-in way to force an error response on a valid input.
It's difficult to tell from your example how this can be forced, but it looks like it's worth playing around with this line to create an invalid input:
ddb_item = <do stuff with some_value to create sanitized item>
Yes, you can. Use mocking for this. Simple and runnable example:
from unittest import TestCase
from unittest.mock import Mock
from uuid import uuid4
import boto3
from moto import mock_dynamodb2
def create_user_table(table_name: str) -> dict:
return dict(
TableName=table_name,
KeySchema=[
{
'AttributeName': 'id',
'KeyType': 'HASH'
},
],
AttributeDefinitions=[
{
'AttributeName': 'id',
'AttributeType': 'S'
},
],
BillingMode='PAY_PER_REQUEST'
)
class UserRepository:
table_name = 'users'
def __init__(self, ddb_resource):
if not ddb_resource:
ddb_resource = boto3.resource('dynamodb')
self.table = ddb_resource.Table(self.table_name)
def create_user(self, username):
return self.table.put_item(Item={'id': str(uuid4), 'username': username})
#mock_dynamodb2
class TestUserRepository(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
ddb = boto3.resource("dynamodb", "us-east-1")
self.table = ddb.create_table(**create_user_table('users'))
self.test_user_repo = UserRepository(ddb)
def tearDown(self):
self.table.delete()
def test_some_thing_success(self):
user = self.test_user_repo.create_user(username='John')
assert len(self.table.scan()['Items']) == 1
def test_some_thing_failure(self):
self.test_user_repo.table = table = Mock()
table.put_item.side_effect = Exception('Boto3 Exception')
with self.assertRaises(Exception) as exc:
self.test_user_repo.create_user(username='John')
self.assertTrue('Boto3 Exception' in exc.exception)
I am a beginner when it comes to writing tests and mocking.
I have a created two modules. One module object (Site) creates another object from my second module (Item) on init. The Item object makes a call to an API endpoint to get some data using requests.
I want to Mock the API call I am making so I can test things like a bad response and importantly have control over the response data.
I have simplified my code and put below. When I run the test I get back the actual response data and not what I have mocked.
I have a feeling I am not putting my Mock in the right place. Also, I have seen lots of people saying to use #unittest.patch annotation. I am not clear if I should be using that here.
So I am looking for how to get _get_range_detail to actually return a Mocked response from requests and also just general feedback on if it looks like I am approaching this the right way.
# hello_world.py
from mymodule.site import Site
sites = [
dict(
name="site1",
ranges=[
"range1",
"range2"
]
)
]
site_object = Site(sites[0]['name'], sites[0]['ranges'])
for i in site_object.get_ranges_objects():
print(i.range_detail)
# site.py
from mymodule.item import Item
class Site:
def __init__(self, name, ranges):
self.name = name
self.ranges = ranges
self.ranges_objects = []
for my_range in ranges:
self.ranges_objects.append(Item(my_range))
def get_ranges_objects(self):
return self.ranges_objects
# item.py
import requests
class Item:
def __init__(self, range_name):
self.range_name = range_name
self.range_detail = self._get_range_detail(self.range_name)
def _get_range_detail(self, range_name):
uri = "https://postman-echo.com/get?some_cool_value=real_value"
try:
r = requests.get(uri)
if r.status_code == 200:
return r.json()['args']
else:
return None
except Exception as e:
print(e)
exit(1)
# test_site.py
import pytest
from mymodule.site import Site
from unittest import mock
from mymodule.item import requests
def test_get_ranges_objects():
sites = [
dict(
name="site1",
ranges=[
"range1",
"range2"
]
)
]
requests = mock.Mock()
requests.status_code = 200
requests.json.return_value = {
'args': {'some_mock_value': 'mocky'}
}
site_object = Site(sites[0]['name'], sites[0]['ranges'])
assert site_object.name == "site1"
assert isinstance(site_object.ranges_objects, list)
assert site_object.ranges_objects[0].range_detail == dict(some_mock_value='mocky')
You can use pytest-mock. it makes mocking in pytest simple. (pip install pytest-mock)
You should replace requests.get. Simply
requests_get = mock.patch('requests.get').start()
If you use pytest-mock,
requests_get = mocker.patch('requests.get')
Rewrote test case using pytest-mock
# test_site.py
import pytest
from mymodule.site import Site
from unittest import mock
#pytest.fixture
def requests_get(mocker):
requests_get = mocker.patch('requests.get')
yield requests_get
def test_get_ranges_objects(mocker, requests_get):
response = mocker.MagicMock()
response.status_code = 200
response.json.return_value = {'args': {'some_mock_value': 'mocky'}}
requests_get.return_value = response
sites = [
dict(
name="site1",
ranges=[
"range1",
"range2"
]
)
]
site_object = Site(sites[0]['name'], sites[0]['ranges'])
assert site_object.name == "site1"
assert isinstance(site_object.ranges_objects, list)
assert site_object.ranges_objects[0].range_detail == {'some_mock_value': 'mocky'}
I have made some changes to a functionality which is breaking the unit tests. Previously i had a common.py containing the function request_url:
import requests
def request_url(method, url):
return _request_url(method, url)
def _request_url(method, url):
return requests.request(method, url)
And this was the test:
#mock.patch("requests.request", autospec=True)
def test_request_url_200(self, mock_request):
response = mock.MagicMock()
response.status_code = 200
method = mock.sentinel.method
path = "url"
result = common.request_url(
method,
path
)
self.assertListEqual([
mock.call(
mock.sentinel.method,
"url"
),
], list(mock_request.mock_calls))
self.assertListEqual([mock.call.raise_for_status()], list(response.mock_calls))
self.assertEqual(mock_request.return_value, result)
After the changes in functionality, instead of simply calling requests.request, i have first initiated a session, mounted a TLS Adapter and then called the session's request function like this:
def _request_url(method, url):
session = requests.session()
adapter = TlsAdapter(ssl.OP_NO_TLSv1 | ssl.OP_NO_TLSv1_1)
session.mount("https://", adapter)
return response = session.request(method, url)
Here, i am not sure how to exactly mock session.request since that is available through the session variable. I tried patching requests.session.request but that does not work here.
Does anyone have any idea how can this function be mocked?
thanks!
I think the reason in #mock.patch(...). You set autospec=True, but your mock_request doesn't return data(in your case everytime - Mock). The documentation says:
If you set autospec=True then the mock will be created with a spec
from the object being replaced. All attributes of the mock will also
have the spec of the corresponding attribute of the object being
replaced. ...
Try to call:
print(mock_request.return_value) # <MagicMock name='request()()' id='4343989392'>
# or
# print(mock_request.return_value.return_value) # <MagicMock name='request()()()' id='4344191568'>
As you can see requests.request was 'mocked' but doesn't return any data. You can set expected data using return_value or side_effect. Here an example:
from unittest import TestCase
import mock
from common import request_url
class MyTestExample(TestCase):
def test_request_url_1(self):
mocked_request = mock.patch('requests.request', side_effect=['one', 'two', 'tree', ])
mocked_request.start()
# request_url(...) will return item from list
self.assertEqual('one', request_url('test', 'url'))
self.assertEqual('two', request_url('test', 'url'))
self.assertEqual('tree', request_url('test', 'url'))
mocked_request.stop()
def test_request_url_2(self):
result = {'my': 'dict'}
mocked_request = mock.patch('requests.request', return_value=result)
mocked_request.start()
# request_url(...) will return static data
self.assertEqual(result, request_url('test', 'url'))
self.assertEqual(result, request_url('test', 'url'))
self.assertEqual(result, request_url('test', 'url'))
mocked_request.stop()
So, you need just describe expected data. Also you can mock API using httpretty.
Hope this helps.
I am trying to use Pythons mock package to mock Pythons requests module. What are the basic calls to get me working in below scenario?
In my views.py, I have a function that makes variety of requests.get() calls with different response each time
def myview(request):
res1 = requests.get('aurl')
res2 = request.get('burl')
res3 = request.get('curl')
In my test class I want to do something like this but cannot figure out exact method calls
Step 1:
# Mock the requests module
# when mockedRequests.get('aurl') is called then return 'a response'
# when mockedRequests.get('burl') is called then return 'b response'
# when mockedRequests.get('curl') is called then return 'c response'
Step 2:
Call my view
Step 3:
verify response contains 'a response', 'b response' , 'c response'
How can I complete Step 1 (mocking the requests module)?
This is how you can do it (you can run this file as-is):
import requests
import unittest
from unittest import mock
# This is the class we want to test
class MyGreatClass:
def fetch_json(self, url):
response = requests.get(url)
return response.json()
# This method will be used by the mock to replace requests.get
def mocked_requests_get(*args, **kwargs):
class MockResponse:
def __init__(self, json_data, status_code):
self.json_data = json_data
self.status_code = status_code
def json(self):
return self.json_data
if args[0] == 'http://someurl.com/test.json':
return MockResponse({"key1": "value1"}, 200)
elif args[0] == 'http://someotherurl.com/anothertest.json':
return MockResponse({"key2": "value2"}, 200)
return MockResponse(None, 404)
# Our test case class
class MyGreatClassTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
# We patch 'requests.get' with our own method. The mock object is passed in to our test case method.
#mock.patch('requests.get', side_effect=mocked_requests_get)
def test_fetch(self, mock_get):
# Assert requests.get calls
mgc = MyGreatClass()
json_data = mgc.fetch_json('http://someurl.com/test.json')
self.assertEqual(json_data, {"key1": "value1"})
json_data = mgc.fetch_json('http://someotherurl.com/anothertest.json')
self.assertEqual(json_data, {"key2": "value2"})
json_data = mgc.fetch_json('http://nonexistenturl.com/cantfindme.json')
self.assertIsNone(json_data)
# We can even assert that our mocked method was called with the right parameters
self.assertIn(mock.call('http://someurl.com/test.json'), mock_get.call_args_list)
self.assertIn(mock.call('http://someotherurl.com/anothertest.json'), mock_get.call_args_list)
self.assertEqual(len(mock_get.call_args_list), 3)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
Important Note: If your MyGreatClass class lives in a different package, say my.great.package, you have to mock my.great.package.requests.get instead of just 'request.get'. In that case your test case would look like this:
import unittest
from unittest import mock
from my.great.package import MyGreatClass
# This method will be used by the mock to replace requests.get
def mocked_requests_get(*args, **kwargs):
# Same as above
class MyGreatClassTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
# Now we must patch 'my.great.package.requests.get'
#mock.patch('my.great.package.requests.get', side_effect=mocked_requests_get)
def test_fetch(self, mock_get):
# Same as above
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
Enjoy!
Try using the responses library. Here is an example from their documentation:
import responses
import requests
#responses.activate
def test_simple():
responses.add(responses.GET, 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar',
json={'error': 'not found'}, status=404)
resp = requests.get('http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar')
assert resp.json() == {"error": "not found"}
assert len(responses.calls) == 1
assert responses.calls[0].request.url == 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar'
assert responses.calls[0].response.text == '{"error": "not found"}'
It provides quite a nice convenience over setting up all the mocking yourself.
There's also HTTPretty:
It's not specific to requests library, more powerful in some ways though I found it doesn't lend itself so well to inspecting the requests that it intercepted, which responses does quite easily
There's also httmock.
A new library gaining popularity recently over the venerable requests is httpx, which adds first-class support for async. A mocking library for httpx is: https://github.com/lundberg/respx
Here is what worked for me:
import mock
#mock.patch('requests.get', mock.Mock(side_effect = lambda k:{'aurl': 'a response', 'burl' : 'b response'}.get(k, 'unhandled request %s'%k)))
I used requests-mock for writing tests for separate module:
# module.py
import requests
class A():
def get_response(self, url):
response = requests.get(url)
return response.text
And the tests:
# tests.py
import requests_mock
import unittest
from module import A
class TestAPI(unittest.TestCase):
#requests_mock.mock()
def test_get_response(self, m):
a = A()
m.get('http://aurl.com', text='a response')
self.assertEqual(a.get_response('http://aurl.com'), 'a response')
m.get('http://burl.com', text='b response')
self.assertEqual(a.get_response('http://burl.com'), 'b response')
m.get('http://curl.com', text='c response')
self.assertEqual(a.get_response('http://curl.com'), 'c response')
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
this is how you mock requests.post, change it to your http method
#patch.object(requests, 'post')
def your_test_method(self, mockpost):
mockresponse = Mock()
mockpost.return_value = mockresponse
mockresponse.text = 'mock return'
#call your target method now
Here is a solution with requests Response class. It is cleaner IMHO.
import json
from unittest.mock import patch
from requests.models import Response
def mocked_requests_get(*args, **kwargs):
response_content = None
request_url = kwargs.get('url', None)
if request_url == 'aurl':
response_content = json.dumps('a response')
elif request_url == 'burl':
response_content = json.dumps('b response')
elif request_url == 'curl':
response_content = json.dumps('c response')
response = Response()
response.status_code = 200
response._content = str.encode(response_content)
return response
#mock.patch('requests.get', side_effect=mocked_requests_get)
def test_fetch(self, mock_get):
response = requests.get(url='aurl')
assert ...
If you want to mock a fake response, another way to do it is to simply instantiate an instance of the base HttpResponse class, like so:
from django.http.response import HttpResponseBase
self.fake_response = HttpResponseBase()
I started out with Johannes Farhenkrug's answer here and it worked great for me. I needed to mock the requests library because my goal is to isolate my application and not test any 3rd party resources.
Then I read up some more about python's Mock library and I realized that I can replace the MockResponse class, which you might call a 'Test Double' or a 'Fake', with a python Mock class.
The advantage of doing so is access to things like assert_called_with, call_args and so on. No extra libraries are needed. Additional benefits such as 'readability' or 'its more pythonic' are subjective, so they may or may not play a role for you.
Here is my version, updated with using python's Mock instead of a test double:
import json
import requests
from unittest import mock
# defube stubs
AUTH_TOKEN = '{"prop": "value"}'
LIST_OF_WIDGETS = '{"widgets": ["widget1", "widget2"]}'
PURCHASED_WIDGETS = '{"widgets": ["purchased_widget"]}'
# exception class when an unknown URL is mocked
class MockNotSupported(Exception):
pass
# factory method that cranks out the Mocks
def mock_requests_factory(response_stub: str, status_code: int = 200):
return mock.Mock(**{
'json.return_value': json.loads(response_stub),
'text.return_value': response_stub,
'status_code': status_code,
'ok': status_code == 200
})
# side effect mock function
def mock_requests_post(*args, **kwargs):
if args[0].endswith('/api/v1/get_auth_token'):
return mock_requests_factory(AUTH_TOKEN)
elif args[0].endswith('/api/v1/get_widgets'):
return mock_requests_factory(LIST_OF_WIDGETS)
elif args[0].endswith('/api/v1/purchased_widgets'):
return mock_requests_factory(PURCHASED_WIDGETS)
raise MockNotSupported
# patch requests.post and run tests
with mock.patch('requests.post') as requests_post_mock:
requests_post_mock.side_effect = mock_requests_post
response = requests.post('https://myserver/api/v1/get_widgets')
assert response.ok is True
assert response.status_code == 200
assert 'widgets' in response.json()
# now I can also do this
requests_post_mock.assert_called_with('https://myserver/api/v1/get_widgets')

This worked for me, although I haven't done much complicated testing yet.
import json
from requests import Response
class MockResponse(Response):
def __init__(self,
url='http://example.com',
headers={'Content-Type':'text/html; charset=UTF-8'},
status_code=200,
reason = 'Success',
_content = 'Some html goes here',
json_ = None,
encoding='UTF-8'
):
self.url = url
self.headers = headers
if json_ and headers['Content-Type'] == 'application/json':
self._content = json.dumps(json_).encode(encoding)
else:
self._content = _content.encode(encoding)
self.status_code = status_code
self.reason = reason
self.encoding = encoding
Then you can create responses :
mock_response = MockResponse(
headers={'Content-Type' :'application/json'},
status_code=401,
json_={'success': False},
reason='Unauthorized'
)
mock_response.raise_for_status()
gives
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: http://example.com
One possible way to work around requests is using the library betamax, it records all requests and after that if you make a request in the same url with the same parameters the betamax will use the recorded request, I have been using it to test web crawler and it save me a lot time.
import os
import requests
from betamax import Betamax
from betamax_serializers import pretty_json
WORKERS_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
CASSETTES_DIR = os.path.join(WORKERS_DIR, u'resources', u'cassettes')
MATCH_REQUESTS_ON = [u'method', u'uri', u'path', u'query']
Betamax.register_serializer(pretty_json.PrettyJSONSerializer)
with Betamax.configure() as config:
config.cassette_library_dir = CASSETTES_DIR
config.default_cassette_options[u'serialize_with'] = u'prettyjson'
config.default_cassette_options[u'match_requests_on'] = MATCH_REQUESTS_ON
config.default_cassette_options[u'preserve_exact_body_bytes'] = True
class WorkerCertidaoTRT2:
session = requests.session()
def make_request(self, input_json):
with Betamax(self.session) as vcr:
vcr.use_cassette(u'google')
response = session.get('http://www.google.com')
https://betamax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Can you use requests-mock instead?
Suppose your myview function instead takes a requests.Session object, makes requests with it, and does something to the output:
# mypackage.py
def myview(session):
res1 = session.get("http://aurl")
res2 = session.get("http://burl")
res3 = session.get("http://curl")
return f"{res1.text}, {res2.text}, {res3.text}"
# test_myview.py
from mypackage import myview
import requests
def test_myview(requests_mock):
# set up requests
a_req = requests_mock.get("http://aurl", text="a response")
b_req = requests_mock.get("http://burl", text="b response")
c_req = requests_mock.get("http://curl", text="c response")
# test myview behaviour
session = requests.Session()
assert myview(session) == "a response, b response, c response"
# check that requests weren't called repeatedly
assert a_req.called_once
assert b_req.called_once
assert c_req.called_once
assert requests_mock.call_count == 3
You can also use requests_mock with frameworks other than Pytest - the documentation is great.
Using requests_mock is easy to patch any requests
pip install requests-mock
from unittest import TestCase
import requests_mock
from <yourmodule> import <method> (auth)
class TestApi(TestCase):
#requests_mock.Mocker()
def test_01_authentication(self, m):
"""Successful authentication using username password"""
token = 'token'
m.post(f'http://localhost/auth', json= {'token': token})
act_token =auth("user", "pass")
self.assertEqual(act_token, token)
I will add this information since I had a hard time figuring how to mock an async api call.
Here is what I did to mock an async call.
Here is the function I wanted to test
async def get_user_info(headers, payload):
return await httpx.AsyncClient().post(URI, json=payload, headers=headers)
You still need the MockResponse class
class MockResponse:
def __init__(self, json_data, status_code):
self.json_data = json_data
self.status_code = status_code
def json(self):
return self.json_data
You add the MockResponseAsync class
class MockResponseAsync:
def __init__(self, json_data, status_code):
self.response = MockResponse(json_data, status_code)
async def getResponse(self):
return self.response
Here is the test. The important thing here is I create the response before since init function can't be async and the call to getResponse is async so it all checked out.
#pytest.mark.asyncio
#patch('httpx.AsyncClient')
async def test_get_user_info_valid(self, mock_post):
"""test_get_user_info_valid"""
# Given
token_bd = "abc"
username = "bob"
payload = {
'USERNAME': username,
'DBNAME': 'TEST'
}
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token_bd,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
async_response = MockResponseAsync("", 200)
mock_post.return_value.post.return_value = async_response.getResponse()
# When
await api_bd.get_user_info(headers, payload)
# Then
mock_post.return_value.post.assert_called_once_with(
URI, json=payload, headers=headers)
If you have a better way of doing that tell me but I think it's pretty clean like that.
The simplest way so far:
from unittest import TestCase
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
from .utils import method_foo
class TestFoo(TestCase):
#patch.object(utils_requests, "post") # change to desired method here
def test_foo(self, mock_requests_post):
# EXPLANATION: mocked 'post' method above will return some built-in mock,
# and its method 'json' will return mock 'mock_data',
# which got argument 'return_value' with our data to be returned
mock_data = Mock(return_value=[{"id": 1}, {"id": 2}])
mock_requests_post.return_value.json = mock_data
method_foo()
# TODO: asserts here
"""
Example of method that you can test in utils.py
"""
def method_foo():
response = requests.post("http://example.com")
records = response.json()
for record in records:
print(record.get("id"))
# do other stuff here
For those, who don't want to install additional libs for pytest, there is an example. I will duplicate it here with some extension, based on examples above:
import datetime
import requests
class MockResponse:
def __init__(self, json_data, status_code):
self.json_data = json_data
self.status_code = status_code
self.elapsed = datetime.timedelta(seconds=1)
# mock json() method always returns a specific testing dictionary
def json(self):
return self.json_data
def test_get_json(monkeypatch):
# Any arguments may be passed and mock_get() will always return our
# mocked object, which only has the .json() method.
def mock_get(*args, **kwargs):
return MockResponse({'mock_key': 'mock_value'}, 418)
# apply the monkeypatch for requests.get to mock_get
monkeypatch.setattr(requests, 'get', mock_get)
# app.get_json, which contains requests.get, uses the monkeypatch
response = requests.get('https://fakeurl')

To avoid installing other dependencies you should create a fake response. This FakeResponse could be a child of Response (I think this is a good approach because it's more realistic) or just a simple class with the attributes you need.
Simple Fake class
class FakeResponse:
status_code = None
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.status_code = 500
self.text = ""
Child of Response
class FakeResponse(Response):
encoding = False
_content = None
def __init__(*args, **kwargs):
super(FakeResponse).__thisclass__.status_code = 500
# Requests requires to be not be None, if not throws an exception
# For reference: https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/3698#issuecomment-261115119
super(FakeResponse).__thisclass__.raw = io.BytesIO()
Just a helpful hint to those that are still struggling, converting from urllib or urllib2/urllib3 to requests AND trying to mock a response- I was getting a slightly confusing error when implementing my mock:
with requests.get(path, auth=HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'pass'), verify=False) as url:
AttributeError: __enter__
Well, of course, if I knew anything about how with works (I didn't), I'd know it was a vestigial, unnecessary context (from PEP 343). Unnecessary when using the requests library because it does basically the same thing for you under the hood. Just remove the with and use bare requests.get(...) and Bob's your uncle.
For pytest users there is a convinient fixture from https://pypi.org/project/pytest-responsemock/
For example to mock GET to http://some.domain you can:
def test_me(response_mock):
with response_mock('GET http://some.domain -> 200 :Nice'):
response = send_request()
assert result.ok
assert result.content == b'Nice'
I will demonstrate how to detach your programming logic from the actual external library by swapping the real request with a fake one that returns the same data. In your view if external api call then this process is best
import pytest
from unittest.mock import patch
from django.test import RequestFactory
#patch("path(projectname.appname.filename).requests.post")
def test_mock_response(self, mock_get, rf: RequestFactory):
mock_get.return_value.ok = Mock(ok=True)
mock_get.return_value.status_code = 400
mock_get.return_value.json.return_value = {you can define here dummy response}
request = rf.post("test/", data=self.payload)
response = view_name_view(request)
expected_response = {
"success": False,
"status": "unsuccessful",
}
assert response.data == expected_response
assert response.status_code == 400
If using pytest:
>>> import pytest
>>> import requests
>>> def test_url(requests_mock):
... requests_mock.get('http://test.com', text='data')
... assert 'data' == requests.get('http://test.com').text
