1 MockWebServer
2 =============
3
4 A scriptable web server for testing HTTP clients

7 ### Motivation
8
9 This library makes it easy to test that your app Does The Right Thing when it
10 makes HTTP and HTTPS calls. It lets you specify which responses to return and
11 then verify that requests were made as expected.
12
13 Because it exercises your full HTTP stack, you can be confident that you're
14 testing everything. You can even copy & paste HTTP responses from your real web
15 server to create representative test cases. Or test that your code survives in
16 awkward-to-reproduce situations like 500 errors or slow-loading responses.

19 ### Example
20
21 Use MockWebServer the same way that you use mocking frameworks like
22 [Mockito](https://code.google.com/p/mockito/):
23
24 1. Script the mocks.
25 2. Run application code.
26 3. Verify that the expected requests were made.
27
28 Here's a complete example:
29
30 ```java
31 public void test() throws Exception {
32 // Create a MockWebServer. These are lean enough that you can create a new
33 // instance for every unit test.
34 MockWebServer server = new MockWebServer();
35
36 // Schedule some responses.
37 server.enqueue(new MockResponse().setBody("hello, world!"));
38 server.enqueue(new MockResponse().setBody("sup, bra?"));
39 server.enqueue(new MockResponse().setBody("yo dog"));
40
41 // Start the server.
42 server.start();
43
44 // Ask the server for its URL. You'll need this to make HTTP requests.
45 HttpUrl baseUrl = server.url("/v1/chat/");
46
47 // Exercise your application code, which should make those HTTP requests.
48 // Responses are returned in the same order that they are enqueued.
49 Chat chat = new Chat(baseUrl);
50
51 chat.loadMore();
52 assertEquals("hello, world!", chat.messages());
53
54 chat.loadMore();
55 chat.loadMore();
56 assertEquals(""
57 + "hello, world!\n"
58 + "sup, bra?\n"
59 + "yo dog", chat.messages());
60
61 // Optional: confirm that your app made the HTTP requests you were expecting.
62 RecordedRequest request1 = server.takeRequest();
63 assertEquals("/v1/chat/messages/", request1.getPath());
64 assertNotNull(request1.getHeader("Authorization"));
65
66 RecordedRequest request2 = server.takeRequest();
67 assertEquals("/v1/chat/messages/2", request2.getPath());
68
69 RecordedRequest request3 = server.takeRequest();
70 assertEquals("/v1/chat/messages/3", request3.getPath());
71
72 // Shut down the server. Instances cannot be reused.
73 server.shutdown();
74 }
75 ```
76
77 Your unit tests might move the `server` into a field so you can shut it down
78 from your test's `tearDown()`.
79
80 ### API
81
82 #### MockResponse
83
84 Mock responses default to an empty response body and a `200` status code.
85 You can set a custom body with a string, input stream or byte array. Also
86 add headers with a fluent builder API.
87
88 ```java
89 MockResponse response = new MockResponse()
90 .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
91 .addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
92 .setBody("{}");
93 ```
94
95 MockResponse can be used to simulate a slow network. This is useful for
96 testing timeouts and interactive testing.
97
98 ```java
99 response.throttleBody(1024, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
100 ```
101
102
103 #### RecordedRequest
104
105 Verify requests by their method, path, HTTP version, body, and headers.
106
107 ```java
108 RecordedRequest request = server.takeRequest();
109 assertEquals("POST /v1/chat/send HTTP/1.1", request.getRequestLine());
110 assertEquals("application/json; charset=utf-8", request.getHeader("Content-Type"));
111 assertEquals("{}", request.getUtf8Body());
112 ```
113
114 #### Dispatcher
115
116 By default MockWebServer uses a queue to specify a series of responses. Use a
117 Dispatcher to handle requests using another policy. One natural policy is to
118 dispatch on the request path.
119 You can, for example, filter the request instead of using `server.enqueue()`.
120
121 ```java
122 final Dispatcher dispatcher = new Dispatcher() {
123
124 @Override
125 public MockResponse dispatch(RecordedRequest request) throws InterruptedException {
126
127 if (request.getPath().equals("/v1/login/auth/")){
128 return new MockResponse().setResponseCode(200);
129 } else if (request.getPath().equals("v1/check/version/")){
130 return new MockResponse().setResponseCode(200).setBody("version=9");
131 } else if (request.getPath().equals("/v1/profile/info")) {
132 return new MockResponse().setResponseCode(200).setBody("{\\\"info\\\":{\\\"name\":\"Lucas Albuquerque\",\"age\":\"21\",\"gender\":\"male\"}}");
133 }
134 return new MockResponse().setResponseCode(404);
135 }
136 };
137 server.setDispatcher(dispatcher);
138 ```
