wiremock
HTTP mocking to test Rust applications.
`wiremock` provides HTTP mocking to perform black-box testing of Rust applications that
interact with third-party APIs.
It provides mocking of HTTP responses using request matching and response templating.
*The name `wiremock` is a reference to [`WireMock.Net`](https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net), a .NET port of the original [`Wiremock`](http://wiremock.org/) from Java.*

## How to install
Add `wiremock` to your development dependencies by editing the `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dev-dependencies]
# ...
wiremock = "0.6"
```
Or by running:
```bash
cargo add wiremock --dev
```
## Getting started
```rust
use wiremock::{MockServer, Mock, ResponseTemplate};
use wiremock::matchers::{method, path};
#[async_std::main]
async fn main() {
// Start a background HTTP server on a random local port
let mock_server = MockServer::start().await;
// Arrange the behaviour of the MockServer adding a Mock:
// when it receives a GET request on '/hello' it will respond with a 200.
Mock::given(method("GET"))
.and(path("/hello"))
.respond_with(ResponseTemplate::new(200))
// Mounting the mock on the mock server - it's now effective!
.mount(&mock_server)
.await;
// If we probe the MockServer using any HTTP client it behaves as expected.
let status = surf::get(format!("{}/hello", &mock_server.uri()))
.await
.unwrap()
.status();
assert_eq!(status.as_u16(), 200);
// If the request doesn't match any `Mock` mounted on our `MockServer` a 404 is returned.
let status = surf::get(format!("{}/missing", &mock_server.uri()))
.await
.unwrap()
.status();
assert_eq!(status.as_u16(), 404);
}
```
## Matchers
`wiremock` provides a set of matching strategies out of the box - check the [`matchers`] module
for a complete list.
You can define your own matchers using the [`Match`] trait, as well as using `Fn` closures.
Check [`Match`]'s documentation for more details and examples.
## Spying
`wiremock` empowers you to set expectations on the number of invocations to your [`Mock`]s -
check the [`expect`] method for more details.
Expectations can be used to verify that a side-effect has (or has not) taken place!
Expectations are automatically verified during the shutdown of each [`MockServer`] instance,
at the end of your test. A failed verification will trigger a panic.
By default, no expectations are set on your [`Mock`]s.
## Responses
`wiremock` lets you specify pre-determined responses using [`ResponseTemplate`] and
[`respond_with`].
You are also given the option to have [`Mock`]s return different responses based on the matched
[`Request`] using the [`Respond`] trait.
Check [`Respond`]'s documentation for more details and examples.
## Test isolation
Each instance of [`MockServer`] is fully isolated: [`start`] takes care of finding a random port
available on your local machine which is assigned to the new [`MockServer`].
To ensure full isolation and no cross-test interference, [`MockServer`]s shouldn't be
shared between tests. Instead, [`MockServer`]s should be created in the test where they are used.
When a [`MockServer`] instance goes out of scope (e.g. the test finishes), the corresponding
HTTP server running in the background is shut down to free up the port it was using.
## Runtime compatibility
`wiremock` can be used (and it is tested to work) with both [`async_std`] and [`tokio`] as
futures runtimes.
If you encounter any compatibility bug, please open an issue on our [GitHub repository].
## Efficiency
`wiremock` maintains a pool of mock servers in the background to minimise the number of
connections and the time spent starting up a new [`MockServer`].
Pooling reduces the likelihood of you having to tune your OS configurations (e.g. ulimit).
The pool is designed to be invisible: it makes your life easier and your tests faster. If you
end up having to worry about it, it's a bug: open an issue!
## Prior art
[`mockito`] and [`httpmock`] provide HTTP mocking for Rust.
Check the table below to see how `wiremock` compares to them across the following dimensions:
- Test execution strategy (do tests have to be executed sequentially or can they be executed in parallel?);
- How many APIs can I mock in a test?
- Out-of-the-box request matchers;
- Extensible request matching (i.e. you can define your own matchers);
- Sync/Async API;
- Spying (e.g. verify that a mock has/hasn't been called in a test);
- Standalone mode (i.e. can I launch an HTTP mock server outside of a test suite?).
| | Test execution strategy | How many APIs can I mock? | Out-of-the-box request matchers | Extensible request matching | API | Spying | Standalone mode |
|-----------|-------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|------------|--------|-----------------|
| mockito | ✔ Parallel | ✔ Unbounded | ✔ | ❌ | Async/Sync | ✔ | ❌ |
| httpmock | ✔ Parallel | ✔ Unbounded | ✔ | ✔ | Async/Sync | ✔ | ✔ |
| wiremock | ✔ Parallel ️ | ✔ Unbounded | ✔ | ✔ | Async | ✔ | ❌ |
## Future evolution
More request matchers can be added to those provided out-of-the-box to handle common usecases.
