Testing OAuth token-exchange flows — mocked or live?

[amaziahub]

Curious how the test suite handles OAuth/token-exchange flows here — mocking the token endpoint responses, or hitting a real/sandboxed auth server?

Asking because I built mimicker (https://github.com/mimickerhq/mimicker), a lightweight pure-Python HTTP mock server, and one of the features (sequenced responses — a different result per call) was built specifically for simulating token refresh/retry behavior across multiple requests. Seemed like a natural fit for what httpx_auth does, so wanted to ask rather than assume it's needed — might already be a solved problem here.

Hello, the test suite is not issuing any outgoing call. All HTTP calls are mocked using pytest-httpx offering all possible features you would want in case of testing HTTP queries and response.
Thanks for the proposal though !
