webmockr (2.2.0)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• webmockr is no longer integrated with vcr; the two packages used to depend on one another, but no longer do. this should not impact your usage of webmockr (#149) (#150)
• better implementation of quiet in enable()/disable() (#146) thanks @hadley
• eliminate partial match warnings (#147) thanks @hadley

webmockr (2.1.0)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Many previously exported R6 classes that are internal use only are no longer exported. RequestPattern is still exported in this version, but will not be in the next version
• Improve how httr2 mocking is set (#114) thanks @hadley
• Correctly check that vcr is loaded, not attached (#142) thanks @hadley
• Update tests to use testthat edition 3, and run in parallel
• Moved crul from Imports to Suggests. replace use of a crul function with an equivalent from curl so crul is truly not needed to run wemockr unless using crul

webmockr 2.0.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• Previous to this version when stubs were constructed starting with stub_request() if an error occurred in a pipe chain, or non-pipe flow, the stub prior to the error remained. This was not correct behavior from a logical perspective - i.e., one would expect if an error occurred that thing they were trying to do did not stick around. The new behavior as of this version deletes the stub upon any error during its creation. Under the hood we’re using withCallingHandlers to handle different types of errors, throw warnings, etc.

NEW FEATURES

• Partial matching. New functions including() and excluding() for use with wi_th() support partial for bodies and queries (header partial matching was already supported without any additional steps). See ?partial. This makes it slightly to a whole lot easier to do matching depending on the HTTP request your trying to match (e.g., let’s say you’re trying to match against a query with 20 parameters - if you can match uniquely to it with 1 or 2 of those params, then you’re all set) (#38)
• Basic auth internal work for RequestPattern. Shouldn’t change behavior (#133)
• New features for supporting request body diffs. There are two ways to use request body diffing. First, you can toggle it on/off globally like webmockr_configure(show_body_diff = TRUE) or webmockr_configure(show_body_diff = FALSE). Second, a new function stub_body_diff() is a standalone function that compares by default the last stub created and the last http request made - but you can pass in any stub and http request. Note that body diffing functionality requires the suggested package diffobj (#126)
• As part of the above body diffing functionality, two new functions are offered: last_request() and last_stub(), which get the last http request made and the last webmockr stub created, respectively. (#126)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Removed global_stubs field from the StubRegistry class as it was completely unused (holdover from the initial port from Ruby). Should not impact users at all. (#127)
• Wider use of rlang functions throughout the package for nicer assertions and condition handling. This change alters the main error message you get when there’s no match to registered stubs. Hopefully this feels like an improvement to you; let me know. (#129)
• StubRegistry gains new method is_stubbed() to check if a stub is in the stub registry

webmockr 1.0.0

NEW FEATURES

• webmockr now supports the httr2 library, in addition to httr and crul. Note that you’ll see different behavior from httr2 relative to the other 2 http clients because it turns http errors (http statuses 400 and above) into R errors (#122)
• webmockr can now mock async http requests with crul (w/ crul v1.5 or greater). no change was required in webmockr for this to happen. a PR was merged in crul to hook into webmockr. there’s no support for async in httr as that package does not do any async and no support in httr2 because req_perform_parallel does not have a mocking hook as does req_perform (#124)

webmockr 0.9.0

BUG FIXES

• to_return() supports returning multiple responses to match many requests to the same matching stub. however, the internals were broken for this, but is now fixed (#115) thanks @kenahoo for the report
• matching stubs with specifying a request body to match on (e.g., stub_request('post', 'https://httpbin.org/post') %>% wi_th(body = list(a=5))) was not working in some cases; internal matching logic was borked. now fixed. (#118) thanks @konradoberwimmer for the report
• The status parameter in to_return() was documented to accept an integer, but it errored when an integer was passed (e.g., to_return(status=200L)). This bug is now fixed (#117) thanks @maelle for the report

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Config options changes (see webmockr_configure()). Three options that were present but not implemented are now removed: show_body_diff, query_values_notation, net_http_connect_on_start. One option that was present but not implemented yet is now implemented: show_stubbing_instructions (#27) (#120)

DOCUMENTATION

• StubCounter added to pkgdown docs page at https://docs.ropensci.org/webmockr/reference/StubCounter.html (#119) @maelle

webmockr 0.8.2

BUG FIXES

• change to UriPattern to make sure regex matching is working as intended (#114) thanks @kenahoo

webmockr 0.8.0

NEW FEATURES

• enable() and the enable() method on the Adapter R6 class gain new parameter quiet to toggle whether messages are printed or not (#112)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• to re-create http response objects for both httr and crul we were using the url from the request object; now we use the url from the response object, BUT if there is no url in the response object we fall back to using the url from the request object (#110) (#113)
• improve docs: add further explanation to manual files for both to_raise() and to_return() to explain the difference between them and when you may want to use them (#100)

webmockr 0.7.4

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• to support vcr being able to recreate httr objects fully (see github issue ropensci/vcr#132) we needed to handle additional parts of httr request objects: fields and output - with this change vcr should return objects much closer to what real httr requests return (#109)

BUG FIXES

• bug fix + improvement: fixes for simple authentication - wi_th() now supports basic_auth to mock basic authentication either with crul::auth() or httr::authenticate() (#108)

webmockr 0.7.0

NEW FEATURES

• Gains ability to define more than 1 returned HTTP response, and the order in which the HTTP responses are returned. The idea is from the Ruby webmock library, but the implementation is different because the Ruby and R languages are very different. You can give more than one to_return() one creating a stub, or if you want to return the same response each time, you can use the new times parameter within to_return(). As a related use case (#31) you can mock http retry’s using this new feature (#10) (#32) (#101)
• Gains new function webmockr_reset() to be able to reset stub registry and request registry in one function call (#97) (#101)
• Gains support for mocking simple authentication. wi_th() now accepts basic_auth in addition to query, body, and headers. Note that authentication type is ignored (#103)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• change to how URI’s are matched in stub_request(): we weren’t allowing matching URI’s without schemes; you can now do that. In addition, webmockr can match URI’s without the “http” scheme, but does not match if the scheme is “https”. See UriPattern for more (#102)
• another change to how URI’s are matched: now query params compared separately to the URI; note that regex not allowed in query params (#104) - And now query parameters are compared with the same code both when regex uri is used and when it is not (#107)
• URI matching for stubs is now done only on the URI’s themselves; that is, query parameters are removed before comparison, so only the base url with http scheme, plus paths, are compared (#107)
• wasn’t sure write_disk_path behavior was correct when using httr, seems to be working, added tests for it (#79)
• values for query parameters given to wi_th() are now all coerced to character class to make sure that all comparisons of stubs and requests are done with the same class (character) (#107)

BUG FIXES

• fix for uri_regex usage in stub_request(): no longer curl escape the uri_regex given, only escape a non-regex uri (#106)

webmockr 0.6.2

• change to CrulAdapter: do not use normalizePath on the write_disk_path path so that relative paths are not changed to full paths - added tests for this (#95) (#96)

webmockr 0.6.0

NEW FEATURES

• new Adapter class to consolidate common code for the HttrAdapter and CrulAdapter classes, which inherit from Adapter; not a user facing change (#87)
• pkgdown documentation site gains grouping of functions to help the user navigate the package: see https://docs.ropensci.org/webmockr/reference/ (#93)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• now correctly fails with informative message when write_disk_path is NULL when the user is trying to write to disk while using webmockr (#78)
• improve README construction; use html child for the details section (#81)
• fix matching stub matching for bodies when bodies are JSON encoded (#82)
• when vcr was loaded real HTTP requests were being performed twice when they should have only been performed once (#91) (#92)

BUG FIXES

• fix for set_body() method in the Response class - handle cases where user writing to disk and not, and handle raw bytes correctly (#80)
• fix to to_s() method in StubbedRequest class - was formatting query parameters incorrectly (#83)
• fix to BodyPattern class to handle upload objects in a list; related issue fixed where wi_th() parameter body was not handling upload objects (#84) (#85)
• httr requests were failing when vcr loaded, but with no cassette inserted; fixed handle_request() to skip vcr-related code unless a cassette is inserted (#86) (#88)

webmockr 0.5.0

NEW FEATURES

• webmockr now supports mocking writing to disk. TLDR: see ?mocking-disk-writing to get started - That is, both of the major high level http clients in R, crul and httr, support writing directly to disk (rather than the user manually getting the http response and writing it to disk). supporting this required quite a bit of work, both in code and in thinking about how to support the various scenarios in which users can find themselves when dealing with writing to disk - Please get in touch if you have problems with this (#57) (#76)
• gains request_registry_clear() method to easily clear all requests in the request registry (#75)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• better docs for R6 classes with R6 support in new roxygen2 version on cran (#77)
• httr simple auth was being ignored - its now supported (simple auth with crul already worked) (#74)

BUG FIXES

• fix to handle raw responses that can not be converted to character, such as images; needed due to issue https://github.com/ropensci/vcr/issues/112 (#72) (#73)

webmockr 0.4.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• fix link to http testing book, change ropensci to ropenscilabs (#67)
• fixes to request matching: single match types working now (e.g., just match on query, or just on headers); in addition, header matching now works; added examples of single match types (#68) (#69)

BUG FIXES

• fix stub specification within crul and httr adapters; typo in setting headers (#70)

webmockr 0.3.4

DEFUNCT

• underscore methods to_return_() and wi_th_() are defunct (#60) (#64)

NEW FEATURES

• to_return() gains parameter .list (#60) (#64)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• typo fixes (#62) thanks @Bisaloo !
• improved the print method for stubs, found in StubbedRequest, to have better behavior for very long strings such as in headers and bodies (#63)

BUG FIXES

• fix date in mocked httr response object to match the date format that httr uses in real HTTP requests (#58) (#61) via https://github.com/ropensci/vcr/issues/91
• fix response headers in mocked httr response objects. httr makes the list of headers insensitive to case, so we now use that function from the package (#59) (#61)
• to_return() and wi_th() drop use of the lazyeval package and fall back to using the simple list(...) - fixes problem where creating stubs was failing within test_that() blocks due to some weird lazy eval conflicts (i think) (#60) (#64) thanks @karawoo !

webmockr 0.3.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• returned mocked response headers were retaining case that the user gave - whereas they should be all lowercased to match the output in crul and httr. now fixed. (#49) thanks @hlapp
• returned mocked response headers were not all of character class, but depended on what class was given by the user on creating the stub. this is now fixed, returning all character class values for response headers (#48) thanks @hlapp
• skip tests that require vcr if vcr is not available (#53)
• internal change to crul adapter to produce the same http response as a new version of crul returns - adds a response_headers_all slot (#51) (#54)

webmockr 0.2.9

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• make request_registry() and stub_registry() print methods more similar to avoid confusion for users (#35)
• update docs for enable/disable to indicate that crul and httr supported (#46) (related to #45)
• wrap httr adapter examples in requireNamespace so only run when httr available
• clean up .onLoad call, removing commented out code, and add note about creating adapter objects does not load crul and httr packages

BUG FIXES

• fix to enable() and disable() methods. even though httr is in Suggests, we were loading all adapters (crul, httr) with stop when the package was not found. We now give a message and skip when a package not installed. In addition, we enable() and disable() gain an adapter parameter to indicate which package you want to enable or disable. If adapter not given we attempt all adapters. Note that this bug shouldn’t have affected vcr users as httr is in Imports in that package, so you’d have to have httr installed (#45) thanks to @maelle for uncovering the problem

webmockr 0.2.8

NEW FEATURES

• Added support for integration with package httr; see HttrAdapter for the details; webmockr now integrates with two HTTP R packages: crul and httr (#43) (#44)
• Along with httr integration is a new method httr_mock() to turn on mocking for httr; and two methods build_httr_response and build_httr_request meant for internal use

webmockr 0.2.6

NEW FEATURES

• Added support for integration with package vcr (now on CRAN) for doing HTTP request caching

webmockr 0.2.4

NEW FEATURES

• New function enabled() to ask if webmockr is enabled, gives a boolean
• wi_th() gains new parameter .list as an escape hatch to avoid NSE. examples added in the wi_th man file to clarify its use

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• matching by request body was not supported, it now is; added examples of matching on request body, see ?stub_request (#36)
• make sure that the adapter for crul handles all types of matches (#29)
• removed all internal usage of pipes in the package. still exporting pipe for users (#30)
• fixed internals to give vcr error when vcr loaded - for future release with vcr support (#34)
• require newest crul version

BUG FIXES

• Error messages with the suggest stub were not giving bodies. They now give bodies if needed along with method, uri, headers, query (#37)
• Fixed Response class that was not dealing with capitalization correctly

webmockr 0.2.0

NEW FEATURES

• New function to_raise() to say that a matched response should return a certain exception, currently to_raise accepts error classes from the fauxpas package (#9)
• New function to_timeout() to say that a matched response should return a timeout. This is a special case of to_raise to easily do a timeout expectation (#11)
• New function request_registry() to list requests in the request registry (#23)
• package crul moved to Imports from Suggests as it’s the only http client supported for now. will move back to Suggests once we support at least one other http client
• webmockr_configure() changes: turn_on has been removed; allow_net_connect and allow_localhost were ignored before, but are now used and are now set to FALSE by default; fixed usage of allow which now accepts character vector of URLs instead of a boolean; the following correctly marked as being ignored for now until fixed net_http_connect_on_start, show_stubbing_instructions, query_values_notation, show_body_diff (#19) (#21)
• webmockr_disable_net_connect() now accepts an allow parameter to disable all other connections except those URLs given in allow
• webmockr_net_connect_allowed() now accepts a uri parameter to test if a URI/URL is allowed

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Fixed printed stub statement when printed to the console - we weren’t including headers accurately (#18)
• Added examples to the stub_registry() and stub_registry_clea() manual files (#24)
• internal methods build_crul_request and build_crul_response moved outside of the CrulAdapter class so that they can be accessed like webmockr:: in other packages
• enable() and disable() now return booleans invisibly
• General improvements to documentation throughout
• Added linting of user inputs to the to_return() method, and docs details on what to input to the method
• Added linting of user inputs to the wi_th() method, and docs details on what to input to the method

BUG FIXES

• Fixed option allow_localhost, which wasn’t actually workin before (#25)

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• webmockr_enable() and webmockr_disable are now defunct. Use webmockr::enable() and webmockr::disable() instead

webmockr 0.1.0

NEW FEATURES

• Released to CRAN.
