= fake-mechanize == DESCRIPTION FakeMechanize provides methods and classes to write offline tests for applications which relies on Mechanize. It replace Mechanize and emulate an agent which aim to act like a real Mechanize Agent. Fake agent accepts options to define queries and their answers. == SYNOPSIS === Options === Types === Examples * Simple examples to test a basic api # Initialize a fake agent @http_agent = FakeMechanize::Agent.new # Create answers and their params @http_agent.respond_to do |mock| # Answers to get queries to http://api.example.com/users/count?group=students # with the string "42" mock.get :uri => "http://api.example.com/users/count", :parameters => {:group => "students"}, :body => "42" # Answers to post queries to http://api.example.com/users/3/activate # with the string "true" mock.post :uri => "http://api.example.com/users/3/activate", :body => "true" # Answers to post queries to http://api.example.com/users/authentify # with the string "Qt5c1HWwCXDhKskMrBqMdQ". # This example could be an authentication process mock.post :uri => "http://api.example.com/users/authentify", :parameters => {:Email => 'jack@bauer.com', :Passwd => 'secure'}, :body => "Qt5c1HWwCXDhKskMrBqMdQ" # Will reply with an http error code of 403 with no body if the post query # to http://api.example.com/users/authentify does not have specified parameters. mock.error :uri => "http://api.example.com/users/authentify", :params_not_equal => {:Email => 'jack@bauer.com', :Passwd => 'secure'}, :method => :post, :status => 403 end # Now you can use this agent like a real one r = mock.get("http://api.example.com/users/count", :group => "students") # => WWW::Mechanize::File r.body # => "42" # Posting r = mock.post("http://api.example.com/users/authentify", :Email => "jack@bauer.com", :Passwd => "secure") r.status # => 200 r.body # => "Qt5c1HWwCXDhKskMrBqMdQ" # Handling errors r = mock.post("http://api.example.com/users/authentify", :Email => "jack@bauer.com", :Passwd => "bad") r.status # => 403 r.body # => nil == REQUIREMENTS * mechanize gem == INSTALL gem install fake-mechanize == LICENSE (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2009, Fabien Jakimowicz Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
