fake_response

fakeResponse

An 'httr' <code>request</code>-class object. A character URL is also
accepted, for which a fake request object will be created, using the <code>verb</code>
argument as well.

request

Character name for the HTTP verb, if <code>request</code> is a URL. Default
is "GET".

verb

status_code

Optional list of additional response headers to return

headers

If supplied, a JSON-serializable list that will be returned
as response content with Content-Type: application/json. If no <code>content</code>
is provided, and if the <code>status_code</code> is not 204 No Content, the
<code>url</code> will be set as the response content with Content-Type: text/plain.

These functions allow mocking of HTTP requests without requiring an internet
connection or server to run against. Their return shape is a 'httr'
"response" class object that should behave like a real response generated
by a real request.

Testing and documenting code that communicates with remote servers
can be painful. Dealing with authentication, server state,
and other complications can make testing seem too costly to
bother with. But it doesn't need to be that hard. This package enables one
to test all of the logic on the R sides of the API in your package without
requiring access to the remote service. Importantly, it provides three
contexts that mock the network connection in different ways, as well as
testing functions to assert that HTTP requests were---or were
not---made. It also allows one to safely record real API responses to use as
test fixture. The ability to save responses and load them offline also
enables one to write vignettes and other dynamic documents that can be
distributed without access to a live server.
