Delphi-WebMocks-Demos VS Delphi-WebMocks

In the previous article, we saw how easy it is to set up a DUnitX project with WebMocks. In this article, we learnt how to customize HTTP responses with WebMocks using its HTTP-oriented interface methods. Give it a try in your projects and let me know how you get on in the comments or via Twitter. You can find the demo code on GitHub. The next part of this series will be along shortly "Matching HTTP requests with WebMocks in Delphi".

With these issues in mind, I set about solving them by writing WebMocks for Delphi, freely available and open-source on GitHub and available through GetIt. I designed WebMocks to integrate with DUnitX, the popular unit testing framework, also useful for running integration tests. WebMocks provides an in-process HTTP server with responses defined by an HTTP domain-specific-language interface.

If you want to verify the request's format, you should look at "assertions". Luckily I have an upcoming article all about that "Asserting HTTP requests with WebMocks in Delphi". In the meantime, try WebMocks and Delphi for yourself. The demos from this article and more are available on GitHub. Let me know how you get on in the comments below or on Twitter.

In the previous post Testing HTTP clients in Delphi with DUnitX and WebMocks we looked at a DUnitX test's basic structure using WebMocks to stub an HTTP endpoint. At this point, it appears very simplistic and not at all like many real-world HTTP interactions. Most requests don't merely respond "OK" with no content. Let's explore how and what content we can mock, giving your test subjects scenarios allowing you to write tests asserting their behaviour.
