# gock [](https://github.com/h2non/gock/releases) [](https://godoc.org/github.com/h2non/gock) [](https://coveralls.io/github/h2non/gock?branch=master) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/h2non/gock) []()
Versatile HTTP mocking made easy in [Go](https://golang.org) that works with any `net/http` based stdlib implementation.
Heavily inspired by [nock](https://github.com/node-nock/nock).
There is also its Python port, [pook](https://github.com/h2non/pook).
To get started, take a look to the [examples](#examples).
## Features
- Simple, expressive, fluent API.
- Semantic API DSL for declarative HTTP mock declarations.
- Built-in helpers for easy JSON/XML mocking.
- Supports persistent and volatile TTL-limited mocks.
- Full regular expressions capable HTTP request mock matching.
- Designed for both testing and runtime scenarios.
- Match request by method, URL params, headers and bodies.
- Extensible and pluggable HTTP matching rules.
- Ability to switch between mock and real networking modes.
- Ability to filter/map HTTP requests for accurate mock matching.
- Supports map and filters to handle mocks easily.
- Wide compatible HTTP interceptor using `http.RoundTripper` interface.
- Works with any `net/http` compatible client, such as [gentleman](https://github.com/h2non/gentleman).
- Network timeout/cancelation delay simulation.
- Extensible and hackable API.
- Dependency free.
## Installation
```bash
go get -u github.com/h2non/gock
```
## API
See [godoc reference](https://godoc.org/github.com/h2non/gock) for detailed API documentation.
## How it mocks
1. Intercepts any HTTP outgoing request via `http.DefaultTransport` or custom `http.Transport` used by any `http.Client`.
2. Matches outgoing HTTP requests against a pool of defined HTTP mock expectations in FIFO declaration order.
3. If at least one mock matches, it will be used in order to compose the mock HTTP response.
4. If no mock can be matched, it will resolve the request with an error, unless real networking mode is enable, in which case a real HTTP request will be performed.
## Tips
#### Testing
Declare your mocks before you start declaring the concrete test logic:
```go
func TestFoo(t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off() // Flush pending mocks after test execution
gock.New("http://server.com").
Get("/bar").
Reply(200).
JSON(map[string]string{"foo": "bar"})
// Your test code starts here...
}
```
#### Race conditions
If you're running concurrent code, be aware that your mocks are declared first to avoid unexpected
race conditions while configuring `gock` or intercepting custom HTTP clients.
`gock` is not fully thread-safe, but sensible parts are.
Any help making `gock` more reliable in this sense is appreciated.
#### Define complex mocks first
If you're mocking a bunch of mocks in the same test suite, it's recommended to define the more
concrete mocks first, and then the generic ones.
This approach usually avoids matching unexpected generic mocks (e.g: specific header, body payload...) instead of the generic ones that performs less complex matches.
#### Disable `gock` traffic interception once done
In other to minimize potential side effects within your test code, it's a good practice
disabling `gock` once you are done with your HTTP testing logic.
A Go idiomatic approach for doing this can be using it in a `defer` statement, such as:
```go
func TestGock (t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off()
// ... my test code goes here
}
```
#### Intercept an `http.Client` just once
You don't need to intercept multiple times the same `http.Client` instance.
Just call `gock.InterceptClient(client)` once, typically at the beginning of your test scenarios.
#### Restore an `http.Client` after interception
**NOTE**: this is not required is you are using `http.DefaultClient` or `http.DefaultTransport`.
As a good testing pattern, you should call `gock.RestoreClient(client)` after running your test scenario, typically as after clean up hook.
You can also use a `defer` statement for doing it, as you do with `gock.Off()`, such as:
```go
func TestGock (t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off()
defer gock.RestoreClient(client)
// ... my test code goes here
}
```
## Examples
See [examples](https://github.com/h2non/gock/tree/master/_examples) directory for more featured use cases.
#### Simple mocking via tests
```go
package test
import (
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
"testing"
"github.com/nbio/st"
"github.com/h2non/gock"
)
func TestSimple(t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off()
gock.New("http://foo.com").
Get("/bar").
Reply(200).
JSON(map[string]string{"foo": "bar"})
res, err := http.Get("http://foo.com/bar")
st.Expect(t, err, nil)
st.Expect(t, res.StatusCode, 200)
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
st.Expect(t, string(body)[:13], `{"foo":"bar"}`)
// Verify that we don't have pending mocks
st.Expect(t, gock.IsDone(), true)
}
```
#### Request headers matching
```go
package test
import (
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
"testing"
"github.com/nbio/st"
"github.com/h2non/gock"
)
func TestMatchHeaders(t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off()
gock.New("http://foo.com").
MatchHeader("Authorization", "^foo bar$").
MatchHeader("API", "1.[0-9]+").
HeaderPresent("Accept").
Reply(200).
BodyString("foo foo")
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://foo.com", nil)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "foo bar")
req.Header.Set("API", "1.0")
req.Header.Set("Accept", "text/plain")
res, err := (&http.Client{}).Do(req)
st.Expect(t, err, nil)
st.Expect(t, res.StatusCode, 200)
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
st.Expect(t, string(body), "foo foo")
// Verify that we don't have pending mocks
st.Expect(t, gock.IsDone(), true)
}
```
#### Request param matching
```go
package test
import (
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
"testing"
"github.com/nbio/st"
"github.com/h2non/gock"
)
func TestMatchParams(t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off()
gock.New("http://foo.com").
MatchParam("page", "1").
MatchParam("per_page", "10").
Reply(200).
BodyString("foo foo")
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://foo.com?page=1&per_page=10", nil)
res, err := (&http.Client{}).Do(req)
st.Expect(t, err, nil)
st.Expect(t, res.StatusCode, 200)
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
st.Expect(t, string(body), "foo foo")
// Verify that we don't have pending mocks
st.Expect(t, gock.IsDone(), true)
}
```
#### JSON body matching and response
```go
package test
import (
"bytes"
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
"testing"
"github.com/nbio/st"
"github.com/h2non/gock"
)
func TestMockSimple(t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off()
gock.New("http://foo.com").
Post("/bar").
MatchType("json").
JSON(map[string]string{"foo": "bar"}).
Reply(201).
JSON(map[string]string{"bar": "foo"})
body := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte(`{"foo":"bar"}`))
res, err := http.Post("http://foo.com/bar", "application/json", body)
st.Expect(t, err, nil)
st.Expect(t, res.StatusCode, 201)
resBody, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
st.Expect(t, string(resBody)[:13], `{"bar":"foo"}`)
// Verify that we don't have pending mocks
st.Expect(t, gock.IsDone(), true)
}
```
#### Mocking a custom http.Client and http.RoundTripper
```go
package test
import (
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
"testing"
"github.com/nbio/st"
"github.com/h2non/gock"
)
func TestClient(t *testing.T) {
defer gock.Off()
gock.New("http://foo.com").
Reply(200).
BodyString("foo foo")
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://foo.com", nil)
client := &http.Client{Transport: &http.Transport{}}
gock.InterceptClient(client)
res, err := client.Do(req)
st.Expect(t, err, nil)
st.Expect(t, res.StatusCode, 200)
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
st.Expect(t, string(body), "foo foo")
// Verify that we don't have pending mocks
st.Expect(t, gock.IsDone(), true)
}
```
#### Enable real networking
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
"github.com/h2non/gock"
)
func main() {
defer gock.Off()
defer gock.DisableNetworking()
gock.EnableNetworking()
gock.New("http://httpbin.org").
Get("/get").
Reply(201).
SetHeader("Server", "gock")
res, err := http.Get("http://httpbin.org/get")
if err != nil {
fmt.Errorf("Error: %s", err)
}
// The response status comes from the mock
fmt.Printf("Status: %d\n", res.StatusCode)
// The server header comes from mock as well
fmt.Printf("Server header: %s\n", res.Header.Get("Server"))
// Response body is the original
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
fmt.Printf("Body: %s", string(body))
}
```
#### Debug intercepted http requests
```go
package main
import (
"bytes"
"net/http"
"github.com/h2non/gock"
)
func main() {
defer gock.Off()
gock.Observe(gock.DumpRequest)
gock.New("http://foo.com").
Post("/bar").
MatchType("json").
JSON(map[string]string{"foo": "bar"}).
Reply(200)
body := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte(`{"foo":"bar"}`))
http.Post("http://foo.com/bar", "application/json", body)
}
```
## Hacking it!
You can easily hack `gock` defining custom matcher functions with own matching rules.
See [add matcher functions](https://github.com/h2non/gock/blob/master/_examples/add_matchers/matchers.go) and [custom matching layer](https://github.com/h2non/gock/blob/master/_examples/custom_matcher/matcher.go) examples for further details.
