A VCR imitation for python-requests
Project description
betamax
Betamax is a VCR imitation for requests. This will make mocking out requests much easier. Tested on Travis CI.
Example Use
from betamax import Betamax from requests import Session from unittest import TestCase with Betamax.configure() as config: config.cassette_library_dir = 'tests/fixtures/cassettes' class TestGitHubAPI(TestCase): def setUp(self): self.session = Session() self.headers.update(...) # Set the cassette in a line other than the context declaration def test_user(self): with Betamax(self.session) as vcr: vcr.use_cassette('user') resp = self.session.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass')) assert resp.json()['login'] is not None # Set the cassette in line with the context declaration def test_repo(self): with Betamax(self.session).use_cassette('repo') as vcr: resp = self.session.get( 'https://api.github.com/repos/sigmavirus24/github3.py' ) assert resp.json()['owner'] != {}
VCR Cassette Compatiblity
Betamax can use any VCR-recorded cassette as of this point in time. The only caveat is that python-requests returns a URL on each response. VCR does not store that in a cassette now but we will. Any VCR-recorded cassette used to playback a response will unfortunately not have a URL attribute on responses that are returned. This is a minor annoyance but not something that can be fixed.
History
0.1.5 - 2013-09-27
Make sure what we pass to base64.b64decode is a bytes object
0.1.4 - 2013-09-27
Do not try to sanitize something that may not exist.
0.1.3 - 2013-09-27
Fix issue when response has a Content-Encoding of gzip and we need to preserve the original bytes of the message.
0.1.2 - 2013-09-21
Fix issues with how requests parses cookies out of responses
Fix unicode issues with Response#text (trying to use Response#json raises exception because it cannot use string decoding on a unicode string)
