# pytest-httpbin
[](https://github.com/kevin1024/pytest-httpbin/actions/workflows/main.yaml)
[httpbin](https://httpbin.org/) is an amazing web service for testing HTTP libraries. It
has several great endpoints that can test pretty much everything you need in a HTTP
library. The only problem is: maybe you don't want to wait for your tests to travel
across the Internet and back to make assertions against a remote web service (speed),
and maybe you want to work offline (convenience).
Enter **pytest-httpbin**. Pytest-httpbin creates a
[pytest fixture](https://pytest.org/latest/fixture.html) that is dependency-injected
into your tests. It automatically starts up a HTTP server in a separate thread running
httpbin and provides your test with the URL in the fixture. Check out this example:
```python
def test_that_my_library_works_kinda_ok(httpbin):
assert requests.get(httpbin.url + '/get').status_code == 200
```
This replaces a test that might have looked like this before:
```python
def test_that_my_library_works_kinda_ok():
assert requests.get('http://httpbin.org/get').status_code == 200
```
If you're making a lot of requests to httpbin, it can radically speed up your tests.
# HTTPS support
pytest-httpbin also supports HTTPS:
```python
def test_that_my_library_works_kinda_ok(httpbin_secure):
assert requests.get(httpbin_secure.url + '/get/').status_code == 200
```
It's actually starting 2 web servers in separate threads in the background: one HTTP and
one HTTPS. The servers are started on a random port (see below for fixed port support),
on the loopback interface on your machine. Pytest-httpbin includes a self-signed
certificate. If your library verifies certificates against a CA (and it should), you'll
have to add the CA from pytest-httpbin. The path to the pytest-httpbin CA bundle can by
found like this `python -m pytest_httpbin.certs`.
For example in requests, you can set the `REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE` python path. You can run
your tests like this:
```bash
REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=`python -m pytest_httpbin.certs` py.test tests/
```
# API of the injected object
The injected object has the following attributes:
- url
- port
- host
and the following methods:
- join(string): Returns the results of calling `urlparse.urljoin` with the url from the
injected server automatically applied as the first argument. You supply the second
argument
Also, I defined `__add__` on the object to append to `httpbin.url`. This means you can
do stuff like `httpbin + '/get'` instead of `httpbin.url + '/get'`.
## Testing both HTTP and HTTPS endpoints with one test
If you ever find yourself needing to test both the http and https version of and
endpoint, you can use the `httpbin_both` funcarg like this:
```python
def test_that_my_library_works_kinda_ok(httpbin_both):
assert requests.get(httpbin_both.url + '/get/').status_code == 200
```
Through the magic of pytest parametrization, this function will actually execute twice:
once with an http url and once with an https url.
## Using pytest-httpbin with unittest-style test cases
I have provided 2 additional fixtures to make testing with class-based tests easier. I
have also provided a couple decorators that provide some syntactic sugar around the
pytest method of adding the fixtures to class-based tests. Just add the
`use_class_based_httpbin` and/or `use_class_based_httpbin_secure` class decorators to
your class, and then you can access httpbin using self.httpbin and self.httpbin_secure.
```python
import pytest_httpbin
@pytest_httpbin.use_class_based_httpbin
@pytest_httpbin.use_class_based_httpbin_secure
class TestClassBassedTests(unittest.TestCase):
def test_http(self):
assert requests.get(self.httpbin.url + '/get').response
def test_http_secure(self):
assert requests.get(self.httpbin_secure.url + '/get').response
```
## Running the server on fixed port
Sometimes a randomized port can be a problem. Worry not, you can fix the port number to
a desired value with the `HTTPBIN_HTTP_PORT` and `HTTPBIN_HTTPS_PORT` environment
variables. If those are defined during pytest plugins are loaded, `httbin` and
`httpbin_secure` fixtures will run on given ports. You can run your tests like this:
```bash
HTTPBIN_HTTP_PORT=8080 HTTPBIN_HTTPS_PORT=8443 py.test tests/
```
## Installation
[](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-httpbin/)
[](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-httpbin/)
To install from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-httpbin/), all you need to do is
this:
```bash
pip install pytest-httpbin
```
and your tests executed by pytest all will have access to the `httpbin` and
`httpbin_secure` funcargs. Cool right?
## Support and dependencies
pytest-httpbin supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4-3.6, and pypy. It will automatically
install httpbin and flask when you install it from PyPI.
[httpbin](https://github.com/postmanlabs/httpbin) itself does not support python 2.6 as
of version 0.6.0, when the Flask-common dependency was added. If you need python 2.6
support pin the httpbin version to 0.5.0
## Running the pytest-httpbin test suite
If you want to run pytest-httpbin's test suite, you'll need to install requests and
pytest, and then use the ./runtests.sh script.
```bash
pip install pytest
./runtests.sh
```
Also, you can use tox to run the tests on all supported python versions:
```bash
pip install tox
tox
```
## Changelog
- 2.0.0
- Drop support for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 (#68)
- Add support for Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 (#68)
- Avoid deprecation warnings and resource warnings (#71)
- Add support for Python 3.11 and 3.12, drop dependency on six (#76)
- 1.0.2
- Switch from travis to github actions
- This will be the last release to support Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6
- 1.0.1
- httpbin_secure: fix redirect Location to have "https://" scheme (#62) - thanks
@immerrr
- Include regression tests in pypi tarball (#56) - thanks @kmosiejczuk
- 1.0.0
- Update included self-signed cert to include IP address in SAN (See #52). Full
version bump because this could be a breaking change for those depending on the
certificate missing the IP address in the SAN (as it seems the requests test suite
does)
- Only use @pytest.fixture decorator once (thanks @hroncok)
- Fix a few README typos (thanks @hemberger)
- 0.3.0
- Allow to run httpbin on fixed port using environment variables (thanks @hroncok)
- Allow server to be thread.join()ed (thanks @graingert)
- Add support for Python 3.6 (thanks @graingert)
- 0.2.3:
- Another attempt to fix #32 (Rare bug, only happens on Travis)
- 0.2.2:
- Fix bug with python3
- 0.2.1:
- Attempt to fix strange, impossible-to-reproduce bug with broken SSL certs that only
happens on Travis (#32) [Bad release, breaks py3]
- 0.2.0:
- Remove threaded HTTP server. I built it for Requests, but they deleted their
threaded test since it didn't really work very well. The threaded server seems to
cause some strange problems with HTTP chunking, so I'll just remove it since nobody
is using it (I hope)
- 0.1.1:
- Fix weird hang with SSL on pypy (again)
- 0.1.0:
- Update server to use multithreaded werkzeug server
- 0.0.7:
- Update the certificates (they expired)
- 0.0.6:
- Fix an issue where pypy was hanging when a request was made with an invalid
certificate
- 0.0.5:
- Fix broken version parsing in 0.0.4
- 0.0.4:
- **Bad release: Broken version parsing**
- Fix `BadStatusLine` error that occurs when sending multiple requests in a single
session (PR #16). Thanks @msabramo!
- Fix #9 ("Can't be installed at the same time than pytest?") (PR #14). Thanks
@msabramo!
- Add `httpbin_ca_bundle` pytest fixture. With this fixture there is no need to
specify the bundle on every request, as it will automatically set
`REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE` if using [requests](https://docs.python-requests.org/). And you
don't have to care about where it is located (PR #8). Thanks @t-8ch!
- 0.0.3: Add a couple test fixtures to make testing old class-based test suites easier
- 0.0.2: Fixed a couple bugs with the wsgiref server to bring behavior in line with
httpbin.org, thanks @jakubroztocil for the bug reports
- 0.0.1: Initial release
