wi_th: Set additional parts of a stubbed request

In webmockr: Stubbing and Setting Expectations on 'HTTP' Requests

Set additional parts of a stubbed request

Description

Set query params, request body, request headers and/or basic_auth

Usage

wi_th(.data, ..., .list = list())

Arguments

.data	input. Anything that can be coerced to a StubbedRequest class object
...	Comma separated list of named variables. accepts the following: query, body, headers, basic_auth. See Details.
.list	named list, has to be one of query, body, headers and/or basic_auth. An alternative to passing in via .... Don't pass the same thing to both, e.g. don't pass 'query' to ..., and also 'query' to this parameter

Details

with is a function in the base package, so we went with wi_th

Values for query, body, headers, and basic_auth:

• query: (list) a named list. values are coerced to character class in the recorded stub. You can pass numeric, integer, etc., but all will be coerced to character.

• body: various, including character string, list, raw, numeric, upload (crul::upload or httr::upload_file, they both create the same object in the end)

• headers: (list) a named list

• basic_auth: (character) a length two vector, username and password. authentication type (basic/digest/ntlm/etc.) is ignored. that is, mocking authenciation right now does not take into account the authentication type. We don't do any checking of the username/password except to detect edge cases where for example, the username/password were probably not set by the user on purpose (e.g., a URL is picked up by an environment variable)

Note that there is no regex matching on query, body, or headers. They are tested for matches in the following ways:

• query: compare stubs and requests with identical(). this compares named lists, so both list names and values are compared

• body: varies depending on the body format (list vs. character, etc.)

• headers: compare stub and request values with ==. list names are compared with %in%. basic_auth is included in headers (with the name Authorization)

Value

an object of class StubbedRequest, with print method describing the stub

Note

see more examples in stub_request()

Examples

# first, make a stub object
req <- stub_request("post", "https://httpbin.org/post")

# add body
# list
wi_th(req, body = list(foo = "bar"))
# string
wi_th(req, body = '{"foo": "bar"}')
# raw
wi_th(req, body = charToRaw('{"foo": "bar"}'))
# numeric
wi_th(req, body = 5)
# an upload
wi_th(req, body = crul::upload(system.file("CITATION")))
# wi_th(req, body = httr::upload_file(system.file("CITATION")))

# add query - has to be a named list
wi_th(req, query = list(foo = "bar"))

# add headers - has to be a named list
wi_th(req, headers = list(foo = "bar"))
wi_th(req, headers = list(`User-Agent` = "webmockr/v1", hello="world"))

# .list - pass in a named list instead
wi_th(req, .list = list(body = list(foo = "bar")))

# basic authentication
wi_th(req, basic_auth = c("user", "pass"))
wi_th(req, basic_auth = c("user", "pass"), headers = list(foo = "bar"))
