At this point any requests made by the session to a URI starting with `mock://` will be sent to our adapter.


Registering Responses
=====================

Responses are registered with the :py:meth:`requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` function on the adapter.

.. doctest::

>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com', text='Success')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com')
>>> resp.text
'Success'

:py:meth:`~requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` takes the HTTP method, the URI and then information that is used to build the response. This information includes:

:status_code: The HTTP status response to return. Defaults to 200.
:reason: The reason text that accompanies the Status (e.g. 'OK' in '200 OK')
:headers: A dictionary of headers to be included in the response.

To specify the body of the response there are a number of options that depend on the format that you wish to return.

:json: A python object that will be converted to a JSON string.
:text: A unicode string. This is typically what you will want to use for regular textual content.
:content: A byte string. This should be used for including binary data in responses.
:body: A file like object that contains a `.read()` function.
:raw: A prepopulated :py:class:`urllib3.response.HTTPResponse` to be returned.

These options are named to coincide with the parameters on a :py:class:`requests.Response` object. For example:

.. doctest::

>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/1', json={'a': 'b'}, status_code=200)
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/1')
>>> resp.json()
{'a': 'b'}

>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/2', text='Not Found', status_code=404)
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/2')
>>> resp.text
'Not Found'
>>> resp.status_code
404

It only makes sense to provide at most one body element per response.

Dynamic Response
================

A callback can be provided in place of any of the body elements.
Callbacks must be a function in the form of

.. code:: python
def callback(request, context):
and return a value suitable to the body element that was specified.
The elements provided are:

:request: The :py:class:`requests.Request` object that was provided.
:context: An object containing the collected known data about this response.

The available properties on the `context` are:

:headers: The dictionary of headers that are to be returned in the response.
:status_code: The status code that is to be returned in the response.
:reason: The string HTTP status code reason that is to be returned in the response.

These parameters are populated initially from the variables provided to the :py:meth:`~requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` function and if they are modified on the context object then those changes will be reflected in the response.

.. doctest::

>>> def text_callback(request, context):
... context.status_code = 200
... context.headers['Test1'] = 'value1'
... return 'response'
...
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET',
... 'mock://test.com/3',
... text=text_callback,
... headers={'Test2': 'value2'},
... status_code=400)
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/3')
>>> resp.status_code, resp.headers, resp.text
(200, {'Test1': 'value1', 'Test2': 'value2'}, 'response')

Response Lists
==============

Multiple responses can be provided to be returned in order by specifying the keyword parameters in a list.
If the list is exhausted then the last response will continue to be returned.

.. doctest::

>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/4', [{'text': 'resp1', 'status_code': 300},
... {'text': 'resp2', 'status_code': 200}])
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/4')
>>> (resp.status_code, resp.text)
(300, 'resp1')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/4')
>>> (resp.status_code, resp.text)
(200, 'resp2')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/4')
>>> (resp.status_code, resp.text)
(200, 'resp2')

Mock Returns
============

The object returned from a :py:meth:`~requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` is an object representing the mock that was created at that URL.
There are a couple of queries that can be made of this object, including `called` and `call_count`.

.. doctest::

>>> mock_obj = adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/5', text='resp')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/5')
>>> resp.text
'resp'
>>> mock_obj.called
True
>>> mock_obj.call_count
1

Request History
===============

The object returned from creating a mock or registering a URI in an adapter is capable of tracking and querying the history of requests that this mock responded to.

Called
======

The easiest way to test if a request hit the adapter is to simply check the called property.

.. doctest::

>>> import requests
>>> import requests_mock

>>> with requests_mock.mock() as m:
... m.get('http://test.com, text='resp')
... resp = requests.get('http://test.com')
...
>>> m.called
True
>>> m.call_count
1

Request Objects
===============

The history of objects that passed through the `mocker`/`adapter` can also be retrieved

.. doctest::

>>> history = m.request_history
>>> len(history)
1
>>> history[0].method
'GET'
>>> history[0].url
'http://test.com/'

This request history object is a wrapper around a standard :py:class:`requests.Request` object with some additional information that make the interface more workable (as the :py:class:`~requests.Request` object is generally not dealt with by users.

These additions include:

:text: The data of the request converted into a unicode string.
:json: The data of the request loaded from json into python objects.
:qs: The query string of the request. See :py:meth:`urllib.parse.parse_qs` for information on the return format.

Mocker Loading

Using the Mocker
================

Loading of the Adapter is handled by the :py:class:`requests_mock.Mocker` class, which provides two ways to load an adapter.
The mocker is a loading mechanism to ensure the adapter is correctly in place to intercept calls from requests.
It's goal is to provide an interface that is as close to the real requests library interface as possible.

The *requests-mock* library at its core is simply a transport adapter that can be preloaded with responses that are returned if certain URIs are requested.
This is particularly useful in unit tests where you want to return known responses from HTTP requests without making actual calls.

As the `requests`_ library has very limited options for how to load and use adapters *requests-mock* also provides a number (currently 1) of ways that to make sure the mock adapter is used.

These are only loading mechanisms, they do not contain any logic and can be used as a reference to load the adapter in whatever ways works best for your project.
