bypass
A mock HTTP server for Elixir testing that intercepts requests and returns preconfigured responses.
What is bypass?
Bypass is an Elixir library that creates a mock HTTP server for testing HTTP clients. It allows developers to intercept requests and return preconfigured responses, simulating various server behaviors like errors, downtime, and specific routes. This enables reliable testing of client-side HTTP handling without depending on external services.
Elixir developers writing tests for HTTP clients or applications that make external HTTP requests. It's particularly useful for those needing to simulate server responses, test error handling, or verify client behavior during server downtime.
Developers choose Bypass because it provides a simple, focused way to mock HTTP servers in Elixir tests, with fine-grained control over responses and server state. It integrates seamlessly with Elixir's Plug and Cowboy, supports concurrent testing, and works with both ExUnit and ESpec.
Overview
Bypass provides a quick way to create a custom plug that can be put in place instead of an actual HTTP server to return prebaked responses to client requests.
