There is a cyclical reference here where the matcher holds a list of requests in history and the requests hold a reference to the matcher. Break this using a weakref so that it can be cleaned up easily. In practice I don't see this being a problem as people will want to test that value as part of the test where the mock is still active. There has not been a release with this functionality so there is no compatibility change. Change-Id: Id1669ea40a48d09432367646a0004866947ff72b
requests-mock
Intro
requests-mock provides a building block to stub out the HTTP requests portions of your testing code. You should checkout the docs for more information.
The Basics
Everything in requests eventually goes through an adapter to do the transport work. requests-mock creates a custom adatper that allows you to predefine responses when certain URIs are called.
There are then a number of methods provided to get the adapter used.
A simple example:
>>> import requests
>>> import requests_mock
>>> session = requests.Session()
>>> adapter = requests_mock.Adapter()
>>> session.mount('mock', adapter)
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com', text='data')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com')
>>> resp.status_code, resp.text
(200, 'data')Obviously having all URLs be mock:// prefixed isn't going to useful, so you can use requests_mock.mock to get the adapter into place.
As a context manager:
>>> with requests_mock.mock() as m:
... m.get('http://test.com', text='data')
... requests.get('http://test.com').text
...
'data'Or as a decorator:
>>> @requests_mock.mock()
... def test_func(m):
... m.get('http://test.com', text='data')
... return requests.get('http://test.com').text
...
>>> test_func()
'data'For more information checkout the docs.
