# Test::Mock::LWP(3pm)

Easy mocking of LWP packages

## NAME

Test::Mock::LWP - Easy mocking of LWP packages

## SYNOPSIS

Make LWP packages to make testing easier.

```
    use Test::Mock::LWP;
    # Setup fake response content and code
    $Mock_response->mock( content => sub { 'foo' } );
    $Mock_resp->mock( code => sub { 201 } );
    # Validate args passed to request constructor
    is_deeply $Mock_request->new_args, \@expected_args;

    # Validate request headers
    is_deeply [ $Mock_req->next_call ],
              [ 'header', [ 'Accept', 'text/plain' ] ];
    # Special User Agent Behaviour
    $Mock_ua->mock( request => sub { die 'foo' } );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This package arises from duplicating the same code to mock LWP et al in several different modules I've written.  This version is very minimalist, but works for my needs so far.  I'm very open to new suggestions and improvements.

## EXPORTS

The following variables are exported by default:

- $Mock\_ua

  The mock LWP::UserAgent object - a Test::MockObject object

- $Mock\_req, $Mock\_request

  The mock HTTP::Request object - a Test::MockObject object

- $Mock\_resp, $Mock\_response

  The mock HTTP::Response object - a Test::MockObject object
