# Reference
## testing query strings
```python
import requests
from sure import expect
import httpretty
def test_one():
httpretty.enable() # enable HTTPretty so that it will monkey patch the socket module
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.GET, "http://yipit.com/login",
body="Find the best daily deals")
requests.get('http://yipit.com/login?email=user@github.com&password=foobar123')
expect(httpretty.last_request()).to.have.property("querystring").being.equal({
"email": "user@github.com",
"password": "foobar123",
})
httpretty.disable() # disable afterwards, so that you will have no problems in code that uses that socket module
```
## Using the decorator
**YES** we've got a decorator
```python
import requests
import httpretty
@httpretty.activate
def test_one():
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.GET, "http://yipit.com/",
body="Find the best daily deals")
response = requests.get('http://yipit.com')
assert response.text == "Find the best daily deals"
```
the `@httpretty.activate` is a short-hand decorator that wraps the
decorated function with httpretty.enable() and then calls
httpretty.disable() right after.
## Providing status code
```python
import requests
from sure import expect
import httpretty
@httpretty.activate
def test_github_access():
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.GET, "http://github.com/",
body="here is the mocked body",
status=201)
response = requests.get('http://github.com')
expect(response.status_code).to.equal(201)
```
## Providing custom headers
**and all you need is to add keyword args in which the keys are always lower-cased and with underscores `_` instead of dashes `-`**
For example, let's say you want to mock that server returns `content-type`.
To do so, use the argument `content_type`, **all the keyword args are taken by HTTPretty and transformed in the RFC2616 equivalent name**.
```python
@httpretty.activate
def test_some_api():
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.GET, "http://foo-api.com/gabrielfalcao",
body='{"success": false}',
status=500,
content_type='text/json')
response = requests.get('http://foo-api.com/gabrielfalcao')
expect(response.json()).to.equal({'success': False})
expect(response.status_code).to.equal(500)
```
### Adding extra headers and forcing headers
You can pass the `adding_headers` argument as a dictionary and your
headers will be
[united](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)) to the
existing headers.
```python
@httpretty.activate
def test_some_api():
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.GET, "http://foo-api.com/gabrielfalcao",
body='{"success": false}',
status=500,
content_type='text/json',
adding_headers={
'X-foo': 'bar'
})
response = requests.get('http://foo-api.com/gabrielfalcao')
expect(response.json()).to.equal({'success': False})
expect(response.status_code).to.equal(500)
```
Although there are some situation where some headers line
`content-length` will be calculated by HTTPretty based on the
specified fake response body.
So you might want to *"force"* those headers:
```python
@httpretty.activate
def test_some_api():
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.GET, "http://foo-api.com/gabrielfalcao",
body='{"success": false}',
status=500,
content_type='text/json',
forcing_headers={
'content-length': '100'
})
response = requests.get('http://foo-api.com/gabrielfalcao')
expect(response.json()).to.equal({'success': False})
expect(response.status_code).to.equal(500)
```
You should, though, be careful with it. The HTTP client is likely to
rely on the content length to know how many bytes of response payload
should be loaded. Forcing a `content-length` that is bigger than the
action response body might cause the HTTP client to hang because it is
waiting for data. Read more in the "caveats" session on the bottom.
## rotating responses
Same URL, same request method, the first request return the first
httpretty.Response, all the subsequent ones return the last (status 202).
Notice that the `responses` argument is a list and you can pass as
many responses as you want.
```python
import requests
from sure import expect
@httpretty.activate
def test_rotating_responses():
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.GET, "http://github.com/gabrielfalcao/httpretty",
responses=[
httpretty.Response(body="first response", status=201),
httpretty.Response(body='second and last response', status=202),
])
response1 = requests.get('http://github.com/gabrielfalcao/httpretty')
expect(response1.status_code).to.equal(201)
expect(response1.text).to.equal('first response')
response2 = requests.get('http://github.com/gabrielfalcao/httpretty')
expect(response2.status_code).to.equal(202)
expect(response2.text).to.equal('second and last response')
response3 = requests.get('http://github.com/gabrielfalcao/httpretty')
expect(response3.status_code).to.equal(202)
expect(response3.text).to.equal('second and last response')
```
## streaming responses
Mock a streaming response by registering a generator response body.
```python
import requests
from sure import expect
import httpretty
# mock a streaming response body with a generator
def mock_streaming_tweets(tweets):
from time import sleep
for t in tweets:
sleep(.5)
yield t
@httpretty.activate
def test_twitter_api_integration(now):
twitter_response_lines = [
'{"text":"If @BarackObama requests to follow me one more time I\'m calling the police."}\r\n',
'\r\n',
'{"text":"Thanks for all your #FollowMe1D requests Directioners! We\u2019ll be following 10 people throughout the day starting NOW. G ..."}\r\n'
]
TWITTER_STREAMING_URL = "https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json"
# set the body to a generator and set `streaming=True` to mock a streaming response body
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.POST, TWITTER_STREAMING_URL,
body=mock_streaming_tweets(twitter_response_lines),
streaming=True)
# taken from the requests docs
# http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#streaming-requests
response = requests.post(TWITTER_STREAMING_URL, data={'track':'requests'},
auth=('username','password'), prefetch=False)
#test iterating by line
line_iter = response.iter_lines()
for i in xrange(len(twitter_response_lines)):
expect(line_iter.next().strip()).to.equal(twitter_response_lines[i].strip())
```
## dynamic responses through callbacks
Set a callback to allow for dynamic responses based on the request.
```python
import requests
from sure import expect
import httpretty
@httpretty.activate
def test_response_callbacks():
def request_callback(method, uri, headers):
return (200, headers, "The {} response from {}".format(method, uri))
httpretty.register_uri(
httpretty.GET, "https://api.yahoo.com/test",
body=request_callback)
response = requests.get('https://api.yahoo.com/test')
expect(response.text).to.equal('The GET response from https://api.yahoo.com/test')
```
## matching regular expressions
You can register a
[compiled regex](http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#re.compile)
and it will be matched against the requested urls.
```python
@httpretty.activate
def test_httpretty_should_allow_registering_regexes():
u"HTTPretty should allow registering regexes"
httpretty.register_uri(
httpretty.GET,
re.compile("api.yipit.com/v2/deal;brand=(\w+)"),
body="Found brand",
)
response = requests.get('https://api.yipit.com/v2/deal;brand=GAP')
expect(response.text).to.equal('Found brand')
expect(httpretty.last_request().method).to.equal('GET')
expect(httpretty.last_request().path).to.equal('/v1/deal;brand=GAP')
```
By default, the regexp you register will match the requests without looking at
the querystring. If you want the querystring to be considered, you can set
`match_querystring=True` when calling `register_uri`.
## expect for a response, and check the request got by the "server" to make sure it was fine.
```python
import requests
from sure import expect
import httpretty
@httpretty.activate
def test_yipit_api_integration():
httpretty.register_uri(httpretty.POST, "http://api.yipit.com/foo/",
body='{"repositories": ["HTTPretty", "lettuce"]}')
response = requests.post('http://api.yipit.com/foo',
'{"username": "gabrielfalcao"}',
headers={
'content-type': 'text/json',
})
expect(response.text).to.equal('{"repositories": ["HTTPretty", "lettuce"]}')
expect(httpretty.last_request().method).to.equal("POST")
expect(httpretty.last_request().headers['content-type']).to.equal('text/json')
```
## checking if is enabled
```python
httpretty.enable()
httpretty.is_enabled().should.be.true
httpretty.disable()
httpretty.is_enabled().should.be.false
```
