Reposting this, after discussing with Sean Dague… For background, I have developed a REST client lib to talk to a H/W device with REST server for VPNaaS in Neutron. To support unit testing of this, I created a UT module and a mock REST server module and used the httmock package. I found it easy to use, and was able to easily create a sub-class of my UT to run the same test cases with real H/W, instead of the mock REST server. See the original email below, for links of the UT and REST mock to see how I used it.
I created a bug under requirements, to propose adding httmock to the test-requirements. Sean mentioned that there is an existing mock package, called httpretty, which I found is used in keystone client UTs), and should petition to see if httmock should replace httpretty, since the two appear to overlap in functionality. I found this link, with a brief comparison of the two: http://marekbrzoska.wordpress.com/2013/08/28/mocking-http-requests-in-python/ So… I’m wondering if the community is interested in adopting this package (with the goal of deprecating the httpretty package). Otherwise, I will work on reworking the UT code I have to try to use httpretty. Would be interested in peoples’ thoughts, especially those who have worked with httpretty. Thanks in advance!

It is a very flexible HTTP mock module that works with the Requests package. It is a decorator that wraps the Request’s send() method and allows easy mocking of responses, etc (w/o using a web server). The bug is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1282855 Initially I had requested both httmock and newer requests, but was requested to separate them, so this is to target httmock as it is more important (to me :) to get approval, The review request is: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/75296/ An example of code that would use this: https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/tests/unit/services/vpn/device_drivers/notest_cisco_csr_rest.py https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/tests/unit/services/vpn/device_drivers/cisco_csr_mock.py Looking forward to hearing whether or not we can include this package into Juno.
