RESTSpy
Mock REST endpoints or proxy them to real endpoints.
Spies
A Spy is a local proxy server that by default redirects requests to any endpoint to another server.
In a test setup you will create a Spy for every REST service that your application depends on and that you want to spy on.
Once a Spy is created, you can start mocking certain endpoints, by providing Doubles. A Double represents a HTTP response as a triplet of a status code, headers and body.
Examples
Mock http://localhost:1234/stream endpoint,
while requests to all other endpoints are proxied to https://www.facebook.com
facebook = RestSpy::Spy.server_on_local_port('https://www.facebook.com', 1234)
facebook.endpoint('/stream').should_return('Hello world!')Endpoints can also be matched using a regular expression.
The following example shows how to mock all endpoints on localhost:1234 that start with stream.
facebook.endpoint('/stream.*').should_return(`Hello world!`, headers={'Token' => 'abcd'})Simulate an error code on the http://localhost:1234/search endpoint,
while requests to all other endpoints are proxied to http://www.google.com
google = RestSpy::Spy.server_on_local_port('http://www.google.com', 1234)
google.endpoint('/search').should_return_error_code 401
