Version 1.0.0 will be released once httpx is considered as stable (release of 1.0.0).
However current state can be considered as stable.
Once installed, httpx_mock
pytest
fixture will make sure every httpx
request will be replied to with user provided responses.
- Add responses
- Add dynamic responses
- Raising exceptions
- Check requests
- Do not mock some requests
- Migrating
You can register responses for both sync and async HTTPX
requests.
import pytest
import httpx
def test_something(httpx_mock):
httpx_mock.add_response()
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.get("http://test_url")
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_something_async(httpx_mock):
httpx_mock.add_response()
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
response = await client.get("http://test_url")
If all registered responses are not sent back during test execution, the test case will fail at teardown.
This behavior can be disabled thanks to the assert_all_responses_were_requested
fixture:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def assert_all_responses_were_requested() -> bool:
return False
Default response is a HTTP/1.1 200 (OK) without any body.
In case more than one response match request, the first one not yet sent (according to the registration order) will be sent.
In case all matching responses have been sent, the last one (according to the registration order) will be sent.
You can add criteria so that response will be sent only in case of a more specific matching.
url
parameter can either be a string, a python re.Pattern instance or a httpx.URL instance.
Matching is performed on the full URL, query parameters included.
Order of parameters in the query string does not matter, however order of values do matter if the same parameter is provided more than once.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_url(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(url="http://test_url?a=1&b=2")
with httpx.Client() as client:
response1 = client.delete("http://test_url?a=1&b=2")
response2 = client.get("http://test_url?b=2&a=1")
Use method
parameter to specify the HTTP method (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD) to reply to.
method
parameter must be a string. It will be upper cased so it can be provided lower cased.
Matching is performed on equality.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_post(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(method="POST")
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.post("http://test_url")
def test_put(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(method="PUT")
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.put("http://test_url")
def test_delete(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(method="DELETE")
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.delete("http://test_url")
def test_patch(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(method="PATCH")
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.patch("http://test_url")
def test_head(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(method="HEAD")
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.head("http://test_url")
Use match_headers
parameter to specify the HTTP headers to reply to.
Matching is performed on equality for each provided header.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_headers_matching(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(match_headers={'user-agent': 'python-httpx/0.18.0'})
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.get("http://test_url")
Use match_content
parameter to specify the full HTTP body to reply to.
Matching is performed on equality.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_content_matching(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(match_content=b"This is the body")
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.post("http://test_url", content=b"This is the body")
Use json
parameter to add a JSON response using python values.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_json(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(json=[{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}])
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").json() == [{"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}]
Note that the content-type
header will be set to application/json
by default in the response.
Use data
parameter to reply with a custom body by providing bytes or UTF-8 encoded string.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_str_body(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(data="This is my UTF-8 content")
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").text == "This is my UTF-8 content"
def test_bytes_body(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(data=b"This is my bytes content")
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").content == b"This is my bytes content"
Use data
parameter to stream chunks that you specify.
As long as your data is an iterable it will stream your data.
import httpx
import pytest
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_sync_streaming(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(data=[b"part 1", b"part 2"])
with httpx.Client() as client:
with client.stream(method="GET", url="http://test_url") as response:
assert list(response.iter_raw()) == [b"part 1", b"part 2"]
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_async_streaming(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(data=[b"part 1", b"part 2"])
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
async with client.stream(method="GET", url="http://test_url") as response:
assert [part async for part in response.aiter_raw()] == [b"part 1", b"part 2"]
Use files
parameter (and optionally data
parameter as a dictionary) to send multipart response.
You can specify boundary
parameter to specify the multipart boundary to use.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_multipart_body(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(data={"key1": "value1"}, files={"file1": "content of file 1"}, boundary=b"2256d3a36d2a61a1eba35a22bee5c74a")
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").text == '''--2256d3a36d2a61a1eba35a22bee5c74a\r
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="key1"\r
\r
value1\r
--2256d3a36d2a61a1eba35a22bee5c74a\r
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file1"; filename="upload"\r
Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r
\r
content of file 1\r
--2256d3a36d2a61a1eba35a22bee5c74a--\r
'''
Use status_code
parameter to specify the HTTP status code of the response.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_status_code(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(status_code=404)
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").status_code == 404
Use headers
parameter to specify the extra headers of the response.
Any valid httpx headers type is supported, you can submit headers as a dict (str or bytes), a list of 2-tuples (str or bytes) or a httpx.Header
instance.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_headers_as_str_dict(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(headers={"X-Header1": "Test value"})
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").headers["x-header1"] == "Test value"
def test_headers_as_str_tuple_list(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(headers=[("X-Header1", "Test value")])
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").headers["x-header1"] == "Test value"
def test_headers_as_httpx_headers(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(headers=httpx.Headers({b"X-Header1": b"Test value"}))
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").headers["x-header1"] == "Test value"
Cookies are sent in the set-cookie
HTTP header.
You can then send cookies in the response by setting the set-cookie
header with the value following key=value format.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_cookie(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(headers={"set-cookie": "key=value"})
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.get("http://test_url")
assert dict(response.cookies) == {"key": "value"}
def test_cookies(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(headers=[("set-cookie", "key=value"), ("set-cookie", "key2=value2")])
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.get("http://test_url")
assert dict(response.cookies) == {"key": "value", "key2": "value2"}
Use http_version
parameter to specify the HTTP protocol version of the response.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_http_version(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response(http_version="HTTP/2.0")
with httpx.Client() as client:
assert client.get("http://test_url").http_version == "HTTP/2.0"
You can perform custom manipulation upon request reception by registering callbacks.
Callback should expect at least two parameters:
- request: The received
httpx.Request
. - extensions: The extensions (including the timeouts) linked to the request.
If all callbacks are not executed during test execution, the test case will fail at teardown.
This behavior can be disabled thanks to the assert_all_responses_were_requested
fixture:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def assert_all_responses_were_requested() -> bool:
return False
Callback should return a httpcore
response (as a tuple), you can use pytest_httpx.to_response
function to create such a tuple.
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock, to_response
def test_dynamic_response(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
def custom_response(request: httpx.Request, *args, **kwargs):
return to_response(
json={"url": str(request.url)},
)
httpx_mock.add_callback(custom_response)
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.get("http://test_url")
assert response.json() == {"url": "http://test_url"}
You can simulate HTTPX exception throwing by raising an exception in your callback.
This can be useful if you want to assert that your code handles HTTPX exceptions properly.
import httpx
import pytest
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_exception_raising(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
def raise_timeout(request, extensions: dict):
raise httpx.ReadTimeout(f"Unable to read within {extensions['timeout']}", request=request)
httpx_mock.add_callback(raise_timeout)
with httpx.Client() as client:
with pytest.raises(httpx.ReadTimeout):
client.get("http://test_url")
Note that default behavior is to send an httpx.TimeoutException
in case no response can be found. You can then test this kind of exception this way:
import httpx
import pytest
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_timeout(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
with httpx.Client() as client:
with pytest.raises(httpx.TimeoutException):
client.get("http://test_url")
In case more than one callback match request, the first one not yet executed (according to the registration order) will be executed.
In case all matching callbacks have been executed, the last one (according to the registration order) will be executed.
You can add criteria so that callback will be sent only in case of a more specific matching.
url
parameter can either be a string, a python re.Pattern
instance or a httpx.URL
instance.
Matching is performed on the full URL, query parameters included.
Use method
parameter to specify the HTTP method (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD) executing the callback.
method
parameter must be a string. It will be upper cased so it can be provided lower cased.
Matching is performed on equality.
Use match_headers
parameter to specify the HTTP headers executing the callback.
Matching is performed on equality for each provided header.
Use match_content
parameter to specify the full HTTP body executing the callback.
Matching is performed on equality.
The best way to ensure the content of your requests is still to use the match_headers
and / or match_content
parameters when adding a response.
In the same spirit, ensuring that no request was issued does not necessarily requires any code.
In any case, you always have the ability to retrieve the requests that were issued.
As in the following samples:
import httpx
from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
def test_many_requests(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response()
with httpx.Client() as client:
response1 = client.get("http://test_url")
response2 = client.get("http://test_url")
requests = httpx_mock.get_requests()
def test_single_request(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
httpx_mock.add_response()
with httpx.Client() as client:
response = client.get("http://test_url")
request = httpx_mock.get_request()
def test_no_request(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):
assert not httpx_mock.get_request()
You can add criteria so that requests will be returned only in case of a more specific matching.
url
parameter can either be a string, a python re.Pattern instance or a httpx.URL instance.
Matching is performed on the full URL, query parameters included.
Use method
parameter to specify the HTTP method (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, HEAD) of the requests to retrieve.
method
parameter must be a string. It will be upper cased so it can be provided lower cased.
Matching is performed on equality.
Use match_headers
parameter to specify the HTTP headers executing the callback.
Matching is performed on equality for each provided header.
Use match_content
parameter to specify the full HTTP body executing the callback.
Matching is performed on equality.
By default, pytest-httpx
will mock every request.
But, for instance, in case you want to write integration tests with other servers, you might want to let some requests go through.
To do so, you can use the non_mocked_hosts
fixture:
import pytest
@pytest.fixture
def non_mocked_hosts() -> list:
return ["my_local_test_host", "my_other_test_host"]
Every other requested hosts will be mocked as in the following example
import pytest
import httpx
@pytest.fixture
def non_mocked_hosts() -> list:
return ["my_local_test_host"]
def test_partial_mock(httpx_mock):
httpx_mock.add_response()
with httpx.Client() as client:
# This request will NOT be mocked
response1 = client.get("https://www.my_local_test_host/sub?param=value")
# This request will be mocked
response2 = client.get("http://test_url")
Here is how to migrate from well-known testing libraries to pytest-httpx
.
