go-github-mock

Go Reference Go Report Card

A library to aid unittesting code that uses Golang's Github SDK

Installation

go get github.com/migueleliasweb/go-github-mock

Features

  • Create mocks for successive calls for the same endpoint
  • Pagination support (see mock.WithRequestMatchPages)
  • Mock error returns
  • High level abstraction helps writing readabe unittests (see mock.WithRequestMatch)
  • Lower level abstraction for advanced uses (see mock.WithRequestMatchHandler)
  • Mock rate limiting errors from the api (see mock.WithRateLimit)

Examples

import "github.com/migueleliasweb/go-github-mock/src/mock"

Multiple requests

mockedHTTPClient := mock.NewMockedHTTPClient(
    mock.WithRequestMatch(
        mock.GetUsersByUsername,
        github.User{
            Name: github.String("foobar"),
        },
    ),
    mock.WithRequestMatch(
        mock.GetUsersOrgsByUsername,
        []github.Organization{
            {
                Name: github.String("foobar123thisorgwasmocked"),
            },
        },
    ),
    mock.WithRequestMatchHandler(
        mock.GetOrgsProjectsByOrg,
        http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
            w.Write(mock.MustMarshal([]github.Project{
                {
                    Name: github.String("mocked-proj-1"),
                },
                {
                    Name: github.String("mocked-proj-2"),
                },
            }))
        }),
    ),
)
c := github.NewClient(mockedHTTPClient)

ctx := context.Background()

user, _, userErr := c.Users.Get(ctx, "myuser")

// user.Name == "foobar"

orgs, _, orgsErr := c.Organizations.List(
    ctx,
    *(user.Name),
    nil,
)

// orgs[0].Name == "foobar123thisorgwasmocked"

projs, _, projsErr := c.Organizations.ListProjects(
    ctx,
    *orgs[0].Name,
    &github.ProjectListOptions{},
)

// projs[0].Name == "mocked-proj-1"
// projs[1].Name == "mocked-proj-2"

Returning empty results

mockedHTTPClient := NewMockedHTTPClient(
    WithRequestMatch(
        GetReposIssuesByOwnerByRepo,
        []github.Issue{
            {
                ID:    github.Int64(123),
                Title: github.String("Issue 1"),
            },
            {
                ID:    github.Int64(456),
                Title: github.String("Issue 2"),
            },
        },
        []github.Issue{},
    ),
)

c := github.NewClient(mockedHTTPClient)

ctx := context.Background()

issues1, _, repo1Err := c.Issues.ListByRepo(ctx, "owner1", "repo1", &github.IssueListByRepoOptions{})

// len(issues1) == 2
// repo1Err == nil

issues2, _, repo2Err := c.Issues.ListByRepo(ctx, "owner1", "repo2", &github.IssueListByRepoOptions{})

// len(issues2) == 0
// repo2Err == nil

Mocking errors from the API

mockedHTTPClient := mock.NewMockedHTTPClient(
    mock.WithRequestMatchHandler(
        mock.GetUsersByUsername,
        http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
            mock.WriteError(
                w,
                http.StatusInternalServerError,
                "github went belly up or something",
            )
        }),
    ),
)
c := github.NewClient(mockedHTTPClient)

ctx := context.Background()

user, _, userErr := c.Users.Get(ctx, "someUser")

// user == nil

if userErr == nil {
    if ghErr, ok := userErr.(*github.ErrorResponse); ok {
        fmt.Println(ghErr.Message) // == "github went belly up or something"
    }
}

Mocking with pagination

mockedHTTPClient := NewMockedHTTPClient(
    WithRequestMatchPages(
        GetOrgsReposByOrg,
        []github.Repository{
            {
                Name: github.String("repo-A-on-first-page"),
            },
            {
                Name: github.String("repo-B-on-first-page"),
            },
        },
        []github.Repository{
            {
                Name: github.String("repo-C-on-second-page"),
            },
            {
                Name: github.String("repo-D-on-second-page"),
            },
        },
    ),
)

c := github.NewClient(mockedHTTPClient)

ctx := context.Background()

opt := &github.RepositoryListByOrgOptions{
    ListOptions: github.ListOptions{
        // in fact, the perPage option is ignored my the mocks
        // but this would be present in production code
        PerPage: 2,
    },
}

var allRepos []*github.Repository

for {
    repos, resp, listErr := c.Repositories.ListByOrg(ctx, "foobar", opt)

    if listErr != nil {
        t.Errorf("error listing repositories: %s", listErr.Error())
    }

    // len(repos) == 2

    allRepos = append(allRepos, repos...)

    if resp.NextPage == 0 {
        break
    }

    opt.Page = resp.NextPage
}

// matches the mock definitions len(page[0]) + len(page[1])
// len(allRepos) == 4

Mocking for GitHub Enterprise

Github Enterprise uses a different prefix for its endpoints. In order to use the correct endpoints, please use the different set of *Enterprise options:

  • WithRequestMatchEnterprise
  • WithRequestMatchPagesEnterprise
mockedHTTPClient := mock.NewMockedHTTPClient(
    mock.WithRequestMatchEnterprise( // uses enterprise endpoints instead
        mock.GetUsersByUsername,
        github.User{
            Name: github.String("foobar"),
        },
    ),
)

c := githubEnterprise.NewClient(mockedHTTPClient)

ctx := context.Background()

user, _, userErr := c.Users.Get(ctx, "myuser")

// user.Name == "foobar"

Mocking with rate limits

WithRateLimit uses a single rate-limiting middleware across all endpoints on the mock router.

NOTE: This is an alpha feature. Future changes might break compatibility, until a stable version is released.

mockedHTTPClient := mock.NewMockedHTTPClient(
    mock.WithRequestMatchPages(
        mock.GetOrgsReposByOrg,
        []github.Repository{{Name: github.String(repoOne)}},
        []github.Repository{{Name: github.String(repoTwo)}},
    ),

    // The rate limiter will allow 10 requests per second, and a burst size of 1.
    // These two options together mean that the rate of requests will be strictly enforced, so if any two requests are
    // made less than 1/10th of a second apart, the latter will be refused and come back with a rate limit error.
    mock.WithRateLimit(10, 1),
)

Why

Some conversations got started on go-github#1800 since go-github didn't provide an interface that could be easily reimplemented for unittests. After lots of conversations from the folks from go-github and quite a few PR ideas later, this style of testing was deemed not suitable to be part of the core SDK as it's not a feature of the API itself. Nonetheless, the ability of writing unittests for code that uses the go-github package is critical.

A reuseable, and not overly verbose, way of writing the tests was reached after some more interactions (months down the line) and here we are.

Thanks

Thanks for all ideas and feedback from the folks in go-github.
