webmock 1.0.0

Usage

First, create a WSGI application that represents the fake web server you want to create. This is simpler than it seems; for example:

def simple_app(environ, start_response):
    status = '200 OK'
    headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]
    start_response(status, headers)
    return ['Hello, world!\n']

Next, activate the test server. There are several ways to do this, but all of them produce a port number.

As a context manager:

from mockweb import mock_server
def test_web_request():
    with mock_server(simple_app) as port:
        my_client.get_greeting('http://127.0.0.1:{}'.format(port))

As a decorator:

from mockweb import mock_server
@mock_server(simple_app)
def test_web_request(port):
    my_client.get_greeting('http://127.0.0.1:{}'.format(port))

Or manually started and stopped:

from mockweb import mock_server
@mock_server
def test_web_request():
    server = mock_server(simple_app)
    # ...
    server.start()
    my_client.get_greeting('http://127.0.0.1:{}'.format(port))
    server.stop()

In the latter case, be careful to stop the server.
