Mock response to web browser

[jun1983]

Hi author, many thanks for providing this amazing tool.

I am testing with selenium webdriver and want to Mock http(s) response to specific requests when submit a form. Is that possible to make Mock Server work as a browser proxy and bypass all irrespective requests to the real destination? In official docs and your previous response to other threads, It only talks about how to do so on a MAC OS. I need to run tests locally on windows laptop and also run it on CI with linux build agents.

Appreciate If you can provide some code examples.

Yes it is absolutely possible to do this.

I would suggest you use desired capabilities in selenium to configure a proxy for the browser, see:

• https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/capabilities,
• Proxy support mozilla/geckodriver#97 or
• https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/DesiredCapabilities.

This will ensure all calls from the browser go via the proxy. The MockServer can then be used to proxy all the calls by using forward actions, see:

• http://mock-server.com/mock_server/creating_expectations.html#mock_forward, or
• https://github.com/jamesdbloom/mockserver/blob/94e6446c91b83b7d8d7998d14c2ff9c48afc2981/mockserver-client-java/src/test/java/org/mockserver/client/server/MockServerClientIntegrationTest.java#L125

The links above should provide you with the code examples and details you need. I am going to close this ticket.
