Description
MockProvider
currently offers an option showWarnings
with the following description:
When a request fails to match a mock, a warning is logged to the console to indicate the mismatch. Set this to
false
to silence these warnings.The default value is
true
.
The problem is that it's insufficient for robust testing because showing a warning doesn't fail the tests.
For reliable integration tests, no network request should actually hit the network. A warning is easily missed in the tests output logs and unfortunately we're shipping that code because the tests passed while we didn't want them to. This often leaves a plethora of garbage in the tests output logs that we need to fix after the fact...
What we need is an option to fail the tests on such occasion:
throwExceptionOnRequestMatchMiss
When a request fails to match a mock, throws an exception. This will allow your test framework to fail a test and fix the problem before it's pushed to
production
. Set totrue
to activate this functionality.The default value is
false
.
I know such feature exists in MSW (Mocked Server Worker) and other solutions for mocking requests at the network layer. It would be a nice addition to the MockedProvider
.
