HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) is an easy-to-use client library for making requests from Ruby. RSpec is a Behaviour Driven Development spec libary for Ruby. Making TDD Productive and Fun.
This gem adds custom matchers to make it easier to check http requests.
Add the gem to your gemfile with bundler
$ bundle add http-rspec --require
or manually
gem "http-rspec", require: false
Inside of your spec helper (default spec_helper.rb):
require "http/rspec"
Now you have to include the matchers you want for the blocks you want
# in spec_helper.rb to include matchers everywhere
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include HTTP::Support::RspecMatchers
end
# in spec_helper.rb to include where the type is service
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include HTTP::Support::RspecMatchers, type: :service
end
# in the individual describe blocks
RSpec.describe Service do
include HTTP::Support::RspecMatchers
it "makes request" do
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: 200)
end
end
Most things are documented here in the readme The following API documentation is also available:
Here's some simple examples to get you started:
it "has successful response" do
response = HTTP.get("www.nrk.no")
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: :success) # will match 2xx status code
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: :redirect) # will match 3xx status code
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: :error) # will match 3xx status code
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: :ok) # require 200 status code
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: 200) # require 200 status code
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: :not_found) # require 404 status code
expect(response).to be_an_http_gem_response.with(status: 404) # require 404 status code
# you can access HTTP::Support::RspecMatchers::STATUS_CODE_TO_SYMBOL to see the full
# mapping between code and symbol
end
This library aims to support and is tested against the following Ruby versions:
- Ruby 3.0
- Ruby 3.1
- Ruby 3.2
If something doesn't work on one of these versions, it's a bug.
This library may inadvertently work (or seem to work) on other Ruby versions, however support will only be provided for the versions listed above.
If you would like this library to support another Ruby version or implementation, you may volunteer to be a maintainer. Being a maintainer entails making sure all tests run and pass on that implementation. When something breaks on your implementation, you will be responsible for providing patches in a timely fashion. If critical issues for a particular implementation exist at the time of a major release, support for that Ruby version may be dropped.
