Aioresponses is a helper to mock/fake web requests in python aiohttp package.
For requests module there are a lot of packages that help us with testing (eg. httpretty, responses, requests-mock).
When it comes to testing asynchronous HTTP requests it is a bit harder (at least at the beginning). The purpose of this package is to provide an easy way to test asynchronous HTTP requests.
$ pip install aioresponses- Python 3.5.3+
- aiohttp>=2.0.0,<4.0.0
To mock out HTTP request use aioresponses as a method decorator or as a context manager.
Response status code, body, payload (for json response) and headers can be mocked.
Supported HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE and OPTIONS.
import aiohttp
import asyncio
from aioresponses import aioresponses
@aioresponses()
def test_request(mocked):
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
mocked.get('http://example.com', status=200, body='test')
session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
resp = loop.run_until_complete(session.get('http://example.com'))
assert resp.status == 200for convenience use payload argument to mock out json response. Example below.
as a context manager
import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aioresponses import aioresponses
def test_ctx():
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
with aioresponses() as m:
m.get('http://test.example.com', payload=dict(foo='bar'))
resp = loop.run_until_complete(session.get('http://test.example.com'))
data = loop.run_until_complete(resp.json())
assert dict(foo='bar') == dataaioresponses allows to mock out any HTTP headers
import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aioresponses import aioresponses
@aioresponses()
def test_http_headers(m):
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
m.post(
'http://example.com',
payload=dict(),
headers=dict(connection='keep-alive'),
)
resp = loop.run_until_complete(session.post('http://example.com'))
# note that we pass 'connection' but get 'Connection' (capitalized)
# under the neath `multidict` is used to work with HTTP headers
assert resp.headers['Connection'] == 'keep-alive'allows to register different responses for the same url
import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aioresponses import aioresponses
@aioresponses()
def test_multiple_responses(m):
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
m.get('http://example.com', status=500)
m.get('http://example.com', status=200)
resp1 = loop.run_until_complete(session.get('http://example.com'))
resp2 = loop.run_until_complete(session.get('http://example.com'))
assert resp1.status == 500
assert resp2.status == 200allows to passthrough to a specified list of servers
import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aioresponses import aioresponses
@aioresponses(passthrough=['http://backend'])
def test_passthrough(m, test_client):
session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
# this will actually perform a request
resp = loop.run_until_complete(session.get('http://backend/api'))aioresponses allows to throw an exception
import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession, HttpProcessingError
from aioresponses import aioresponses
@aioresponses()
def test_how_to_throw_an_exception(m, test_client):
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
session = ClientSession()
m.get('http://example.com/api', exception=HttpProcessingError('test'))
# calling
# loop.run_until_complete(session.get('http://example.com/api'))
# will throw an exception.- Easy to mock out HTTP requests made by aiohttp.ClientSession
Due to the fact that get, post, put, delete methods from aiohttp are in deprecation mode and they are NOT supported by this package.
