====================== Testing Guzzle Clients ====================== Guzzle provides several tools that will enable you to easily mock the HTTP layer without needing to send requests over the internet. * Mock subscriber * Mock adapter * Node.js web server for integration testing Mock Subscriber =============== When testing HTTP clients, you often need to simulate specific scenarios like returning a successful response, returning an error, or returning specific responses in a certain order. Because unit tests need to be predictable, easy to bootstrap, and fast, hitting an actual remote API is a test smell. Guzzle provides a mock subscriber that can be attached to clients or requests that allows you to queue up a list of responses to use rather than hitting a remote API. .. code-block:: php use GuzzleHttp\Client; use GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\Mock; use GuzzleHttp\Message\Response; $client = new Client(); // Create a mock subscriber and queue two responses. $mock = new Mock([ new Response(200, ['X-Foo' => 'Bar']), // Use response object "HTTP/1.1 202 OK\r\nContent-Length: 0\r\n\r\n" // Use a response string ]); // Add the mock subscriber to the client. $client->getEmitter()->attach($mock); // The first request is intercepted with the first response. echo $client->get('/')->getStatusCode(); //> 200 // The second request is intercepted with the second response. echo $client->get('/')->getStatusCode(); //> 202 When no more responses are in the queue and a request is sent, an ``OutOfBoundsException`` is thrown. History Subscriber ================== When using things like the ``Mock`` subscriber, you often need to know if the requests you expected to send were sent exactly as you intended. While the mock subscriber responds with mocked responses, the ``GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\History`` subscriber maintains a history of the requests that were sent by a client. .. code-block:: php use GuzzleHttp\Client; use GuzzleHttp\Subscriber\History; $client = new Client(); $history = new History(); // Add the history subscriber to the client. $client->getEmitter()->attach($history); $client->get('http://httpbin.org/get'); $client->head('http://httpbin.org/get'); // Count the number of transactions echo count($history); //> 2 // Get the last request $lastRequest = $history->getLastRequest(); // Get the last response $lastRequest = $history->getLastResponse(); // Iterate over the transactions that were sent foreach ($history as $transaction) { echo $transaction['request']->getMethod(); //> GET, HEAD echo $transaction['response']->getStatusCode(); //> 200, 200 } The history subscriber can also be printed, revealing the requests and responses that were sent as a string, in order. .. code-block:: php echo $history; :: > GET /get HTTP/1.1 Host: httpbin.org User-Agent: Guzzle/4.0-dev curl/7.21.4 PHP/5.5.8 < HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Content-Type: application/json Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 03:53:27 GMT Server: gunicorn/0.17.4 Content-Length: 270 Connection: keep-alive { "headers": { "Connection": "close", "X-Request-Id": "3d0f7d5c-c937-4394-8248-2b8e03fcccdb", "User-Agent": "Guzzle/4.0-dev curl/7.21.4 PHP/5.5.8", "Host": "httpbin.org" }, "origin": "76.104.247.1", "args": {}, "url": "http://httpbin.org/get" } > HEAD /get HTTP/1.1 Host: httpbin.org User-Agent: Guzzle/4.0-dev curl/7.21.4 PHP/5.5.8 < HTTP/1.1 200 OK Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Content-length: 270 Content-Type: application/json Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 03:53:27 GMT Server: gunicorn/0.17.4 Connection: keep-alive Mock Adapter ============ In addition to using the Mock subscriber, you can use the ``GuzzleHttp\Adapter\MockAdapter`` as the adapter of a client to return the same response over and over or return the result of a callable function. .. code-block:: php use GuzzleHttp\Client; use GuzzleHttp\Adapter\MockAdapter; use GuzzleHttp\Adapter\TransactionInterface; use GuzzleHttp\Message\Response; $mockAdapter = new MockAdapter(function (TransactionInterface $trans) { // You have access to the request $request = $trans->getRequest(); // Return a response return new Response(200); }); $client = new Client(['adapter' => $mockAdapter]); Test Web Server =============== Using mock responses is usually enough when testing a web service client. When implementing custom :doc:`HTTP adapters `, you'll need to send actual HTTP requests in order to sufficiently test the adapter. However, a best practice is to contact a local web server rather than a server over the internet. - Tests are more reliable - Tests do not require a network connection - Tests have no external dependencies Using the test server --------------------- Guzzle ships with a node.js test server that receives requests and returns responses from a queue. The test server exposes a simple API that is used to enqueue responses and inspect the requests that it has received. In order to use the web server, you'll need to manually require ``tests/Server.php``. Any operation on the ``Server`` object will ensure that the server is running and wait until it is able to receive requests before returning. .. code-block:: php // Require the test server (using something like this). require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/tests/Server.php'; use GuzzleHttp\Client; use GuzzleHttp\Tests\Server; // Start the server and queue a response Server::enqueue("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\Content-Length: 0r\n\r\n"); $client = new Client(['base_url' => Server::$url]); echo $client->get('/foo')->getStatusCode(); // 200 ``GuzzleHttp\Tests\Server`` provides a static interface to the test server. You can queue an HTTP response or an array of responses by calling ``Server::enqueue()``. This method accepts a string representing an HTTP response message, a ``GuzzleHttp\Message\ResponseInterface``, or an array of HTTP message strings / ``GuzzleHttp\Message\ResponseInterface`` objects. .. code-block:: php // Queue single response Server::enqueue("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\Content-Length: 0r\n\r\n"); // Clear the queue and queue an array of responses Server::enqueue([ "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\Content-Length: 0r\n\r\n", "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n\Content-Length: 0r\n\r\n" ]); When a response is queued on the test server, the test server will remove any previously queued responses. As the server receives requests, queued responses are dequeued and returned to the request. When the queue is empty, the server will return a 500 response. You can inspect the requests that the server has retrieved by calling ``Server::received()``. This method accepts an optional ``$hydrate`` parameter that specifies if you are retrieving an array of HTTP requests as strings or an array of ``GuzzleHttp\Message\RequestInterface`` objects. .. code-block:: php foreach (Server::received() as $response) { echo $response; } You can clear the list of received requests from the web server using the ``Server::flush()`` method. .. code-block:: php Server::flush(); echo count(Server::received()); // 0
