Query string in the URL fails with Route error

Bypass

Bypass provides a quick way to create a custom plug that can be put in place instead of an actual HTTP server to return prebaked responses to client requests. This is most useful in tests, when you want to create a mock HTTP server and test how your HTTP client handles different types of responses from the server.

Bypass supports Elixir 1.10 and OTP 21 and up. It works with Cowboy 2.

Usage

To use Bypass in a test case, open a connection and use its port to connect your client to it.

If you want to test what happens when the HTTP server goes down, use Bypass.down/1 to close the TCP socket and Bypass.up/1 to start listening on the same port again. Both functions block until the socket updates its state.

Expect Functions

You can take any of the following approaches:

expect/2 or expect_once/2 to install a generic function that all calls to bypass will use
expect/4 and/or expect_once/4 to install specific routes (method and path)
stub/4 to install specific routes without expectations
a combination of the above, where the routes will be used first, and then the generic version will be used as default

Example

In the following example TwitterClient.start_link() takes the endpoint URL as its argument allowing us to make sure it will connect to the running instance of Bypass.

defmodule TwitterClientTest do
  use ExUnit.Case, async: true

  setup do
    bypass = Bypass.open()
    {:ok, bypass: bypass}
  end

  test "client can handle an error response", %{bypass: bypass} do
    Bypass.expect_once(bypass, "POST", "/1.1/statuses/update.json", fn conn ->
      Plug.Conn.resp(conn, 429, ~s<{"errors": [{"code": 88, "message": "Rate limit exceeded"}]}>)
    end)

    {:ok, client} = TwitterClient.start_link(url: endpoint_url(bypass.port))
    assert {:error, :rate_limited} == TwitterClient.post_tweet(client, "Elixir is awesome!")
  end

  test "client can recover from server downtime", %{bypass: bypass} do
    Bypass.expect(bypass, fn conn ->
      # We don't care about `request_path` or `method` for this test.
      Plug.Conn.resp(conn, 200, "")
    end)

    {:ok, client} = TwitterClient.start_link(url: endpoint_url(bypass.port))

    assert :ok == TwitterClient.post_tweet(client, "Elixir is awesome!")

    # Blocks until the TCP socket is closed.
    Bypass.down(bypass)

    assert {:error, :noconnect} == TwitterClient.post_tweet(client, "Elixir is awesome!")

    Bypass.up(bypass)

    # When testing a real client that is using e.g. https://github.com/fishcakez/connection
    # with https://github.com/ferd/backoff to handle reconnecting, we'd have to loop for
    # a while until the client has reconnected.

    assert :ok == TwitterClient.post_tweet(client, "Elixir is awesome!")
  end

  defp endpoint_url(port), do: "http://localhost:#{port}/"
end

That's all you need to do. Bypass automatically sets up an on_exit hook to close its socket when the test finishes running.

Multiple concurrent Bypass instances are supported, all will have a different unique port. Concurrent requests are also supported on the same instance.

Note: Bypass.open/0 must not be called in a setup_all blocks due to the way Bypass verifies the expectations at the end of each test.

How to use with ESpec

While Bypass primarily targets ExUnit, the official Elixir builtin test framework, it can also be used with ESpec. The test configuration is basically the same, there are only two differences:

In your Mix config file, you must declare which test framework Bypass is being used with (defaults to :ex_unit). This simply disables the automatic integration with some hooks provided by ExUnit.
```
config :bypass, test_framework: :espec
```

In your specs, you must explicitly verify the declared expectations. You can do it in the finally block.

defmodule TwitterClientSpec do
  use ESpec, async: true

  before do
    bypass = Bypass.open()
    {:shared, bypass: bypass}
  end

  finally do
    Bypass.verify_expectations!(shared.bypass)
  end

  specify "the client can handle an error response" do
    Bypass.expect_once(shared.bypass, "POST", "/1.1/statuses/update.json", fn conn ->
      Plug.Conn.resp(conn, 429, ~s<{"errors": [{"code": 88, "message": "Rate limit exceeded"}]}>)
    end)

    {:ok, client} = TwitterClient.start_link(url: endpoint_url(shared.bypass.port))
    assert {:error, :rate_limited} == TwitterClient.post_tweet(client, "Elixir is awesome!")
  end

  defp endpoint_url(port), do: "http://localhost:#{port}/"
end

Configuration options

Set :enable_debug_log to true in the application environment to make Bypass log what it's doing:

config :bypass, enable_debug_log: true

Installation

Add :bypass to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:bypass, "~> 2.1", only: :test}
  ]
end

We do not recommended adding :bypass to the list of applications in your mix.exs.
