شیء ساختگی(Mock Object)
The mock object is an object that represents a network mock and contains information about requests that were matching given url
and filterOptions
. It can be received using the mock
command.
Note that using the mock
command requires support for Chrome DevTools protocol. That support is given if you run tests locally in Chromium based browser or if you use a Selenium Grid v4 or higher. This command can not be used when running automated tests in the cloud. Find out more in the Automation Protocols section.
You can read more about mocking requests and responses in WebdriverIO in our Mocks and Spies guide.
Properties
A mock object contains the following properties:
Name | Type | Details |
---|---|---|
url | String | The url passed into the mock command |
filterOptions | Object | The resource filter options passed into the mock command |
browser | Object | The Browser Object used to get the mock object. |
calls | Object[] | Information about matching browser requests, containing properties such as url , method , headers , initialPriority , referrerPolic , statusCode , responseHeaders and body |
Methods
Mock objects provide various commands, listed in the mock
section, that allow users to modify the behavior of the request or response.
Events
The mock object is an EventEmitter and a couple of events are emitted for your use cases.
Here is a list of events.
request
This event is being emitted when launching a network request that matches mock patterns. Request is passed in event callback.
Request interface:
interface RequestEvent {
requestId: number
request: Matches
responseStatusCode: number
responseHeaders: Record<string, string>
}
overwrite
This event is being emitted when network response is overwrited with respond
or respondOnce
. Response is passed in event callback.
Response interface:
interface OverwriteEvent {
requestId: number
responseCode: number
responseHeaders: Record<string, string>
body?: string | Record<string, any>
}
fail
This event is being emitted when network request is aborted with abort
or abortOnce
. Fail is passed in event callback.
Fail interface:
interface FailEvent {
requestId: number
errorReason: Protocol.Network.ErrorReason
}
match
This event is being emitted when new match is added, before continue
or overwrite
. Match is passed in event callback.
Match interface:
interface MatchEvent {
url: string // Request URL (without fragment).
urlFragment?: string // Fragment of the requested URL starting with hash, if present.
method: string // HTTP request method.
headers: Record<string, string> // HTTP request headers.
postData?: string // HTTP POST request data.
hasPostData?: boolean // True when the request has POST data.
mixedContentType?: MixedContentType // The mixed content export type of the request.
initialPriority: ResourcePriority // Priority of the resource request at the time request is sent.
referrerPolicy: ReferrerPolicy // The referrer policy of the request, as defined in https://www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/
isLinkPreload?: boolean // Whether is loaded via link preload.
body: string | Buffer | JsonCompatible // Body response of actual resource.
responseHeaders: Record<string, string> // HTTP response headers.
statusCode: number // HTTP response status code.
mockedResponse?: string | Buffer // If mock, emitting the event, also modified it's response.
}
continue
This event is being emitted when the network response has neither been overwritten nor interrupted, or if response was already sent by another mock. requestId
is passed in event callback.
Examples
Getting a number of pending requests:
let pendingRequests = 0
const mock = await browser.mock('**') // it is important to match all requests otherwise, the resulting value can be very confusing.
mock.on('request', ({request}) => {
pendingRequests++
console.log(`matched request to ${request.url}, pending ${pendingRequests} requests`)
})
mock.on('match', ({url}) => {
pendingRequests--
console.log(`resolved request to ${url}, pending ${pendingRequests} requests`)
})
Throwing an error on 404 network fail:
browser.addCommand('loadPageWithout404', (url, {selector, predicate}) => new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
const mock = await this.mock('**')
mock.on('match', ({url, statusCode}) => {
if (statusCode === 404) {
reject(new Error(`request to ${url} failed with "Not Found"`))
}
})
await this.url(url).catch(reject)
// waiting here, because some requests can still be pending
if (selector) {
await this.$(selector).waitForExist().catch(reject)
}
if (predicate) {
await this.waitUntil(predicate).catch(reject)
}
resolve()
}))
await browser.loadPageWithout404(browser, 'some/url', { selector: 'main' })
Determining if mock respond value was used:
const firstMock = await browser.mock('**/foo/**')
const secondMock = await browser.mock('**/foo/bar/**')
firstMock.respondOnce({id: 3, title: 'three'})
secondMock.respond({id: 4, title: 'four'})
firstMock.on('overwrite', () => {
// triggers for first request to '**/foo/**'
}).on('continue', () => {
// triggers for rest requests to '**/foo/**'
})
secondMock.on('continue', () => {
// triggers for first request to '**/foo/bar/**'
}).on('overwrite', () => {
// triggers for rest requests to '**/foo/bar/**'
})
In this example, firstMock
was defined first and has one respondOnce
call, so the secondMock
response value will not be used for the first request, but will be used for the rest of them.
