How to create reqwest:Error for mock

[agostbiro]

Hi,

I'd like to create a mock for my unit tests that returns a reqwest:Error with a 500 HTTP error. Is it possible to achieve this? The reqwest:Error constructor is not exposed outside the crate and reqwest::StatusCode::INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.into() didn't work either.

Thanks,
Agost

Officially, there is no way to do this. I usually recommend finding other patterns than mocking when doing unit tests.

That said, I suppose you could get one in a roundabout way, by creating an http::Response, converting that to reqwest::Response, and then calling error_for_status(). But I don't endorse this, nor promise it won't randomly break at some point 🙈
