GrpcMock

Library for stubbing grpc in Ruby.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'grpc_mock'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install grpc_mock

Usage

If you use RSpec, add the following code to spec/spec_helper.rb:

require 'grpc_mock/rspec'

Examples

See definition of protocol buffers and gRPC generated code in spec/examples/hello

Stubbed request based on path and with the default response

GrpcMock.stub_request("/hello.hello/Hello").to_return(Hello::HelloResponse.new(msg: 'test'))

client = Hello::Hello::Stub.new('localhost:8000', :this_channel_is_insecure)
client.hello(Hello::HelloRequest.new(msg: 'hi')) # => Hello::HelloResponse.new(msg: 'test')

Stubbing requests based on path and request

GrpcMock.stub_request("/hello.hello/Hello").with(Hello::HelloRequest.new(msg: 'hi')).to_return(Hello::HelloResponse.new(msg: 'test'))

client = Hello::Hello::Stub.new('localhost:8000', :this_channel_is_insecure)
client.hello(Hello::HelloRequest.new(msg: 'hello')) # => send a request to server
client client.hello(Hello::HelloRequest.new(msg: 'hi'))    # => Hello::HelloResponse.new(msg: 'test') (without any requests to server)

Responding dynamically to the stubbed requests

GrpcMock.stub_request("/hello.hello/Hello").to_return do |req, call|
  Hello::HelloResponse.new(msg: "#{req.msg} too")
end

client = Hello::Hello::Stub.new('localhost:8000', :this_channel_is_insecure)
client.hello(Hello::HelloRequest.new(msg: 'hi'))    # => Hello::HelloResponse.new(msg: 'hi too')

Real requests to network can be allowed or disabled

client = Hello::Hello::Stub.new('localhost:8000', :this_channel_is_insecure)

GrpcMock.disable_net_connect!
client.hello(Hello::HelloRequest.new(msg: 'hello')) # => Raise NetConnectNotAllowedError error

GrpcMock.allow_net_connect!
Hello::Hello::Stub.new('localhost:8000', :this_channel_is_insecure) # => send a request to server

Raising errors

Exception declared by class

GrpcMock.stub_request("/hello.hello/Hello").to_raise(StandardError)

client = Hello::Hello::Stub.new('localhost:8000', :this_channel_is_insecure)
client.hello(Hello::HelloRequest.new(msg: 'hi')) # => Raise StandardError

or by exception instance

GrpcMock.stub_request("/hello.hello/Hello").to_raise(StandardError.new("Some error"))

or by string

GrpcMock.stub_request("/hello.hello/Hello").to_raise("Some error")
