httptest: A Test Environment for HTTP Requests
Testing code and packages that communicate with remote servers can
be painful. Dealing with authentication, bootstrapping server state,
cleaning up objects that may get created during the test run, network
flakiness, and other complications can make testing seem too costly to
bother with. But it doesn't need to be that hard. This package enables one
to test all of the logic on the R sides of the API in your package without
requiring access to the remote service. Importantly, it provides three test
contexts that mock the network connection in different ways, and it offers
additional expectations to assert that HTTP requests were–or were
not–made. Using these tools, one can test that code is making the intended
requests and that it handles the expected responses correctly, all without
depending on a connection to a remote API.
