WebFixtures

WebFixtures lets you easily generate fixture files for web service response.

# my_fixtures.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'web_fixtures'

WebFixtures.generate do
  
  storage_path "spec/fixtures"
  include_headers true
  authenticate false
  
  get "http://www.google.com"
  
end

Also comes with a command line tool web_fixtures which allow you to run simple DSL-only files:

# my_fixtures.txt

include_headers true
authenticate true

get "http://api.foursquare.com/v1/user"
get "http://www.foursquare.com", :authenticate => false
post "http://api.foursquare.com/v1/checkin", :data => { :vid => 24676 }

File Storage

The generated files are stored to the storage_path in subfolders according to the requested domain name. The filename is build according to the path-part of the URI. e.g., the result of a request to "http://www.google.com/images/" will be stored in ./fixtures/www.google.com/images.txt.

Authentication

WebFixtures supports authentication through Basic HTTP Auth. After setting authenticate true, WebFixtures will ask for your username and password:

$ web_fixtures /path/to/dsl.file
Username: [email protected]
Password: 
$

DSL Options

  • Supports get, post, put and delete requests
  • Can enable/disable storing header data with include_headers [default: true]
  • Specify storage path for fixtures with storage_path [default: './fixtures']
  • Supports HTTP Basic Auth with the authenticate option [default: false]
  • Pass data to a URI via the :data inline option [default: nil]
  • These options are available as both top-level methods and inline options for overriding defaults on a single request.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
