Passing Parameters In URLs

[tsaavik]

Requests allows you to pass the url parameters in as a dictionary of strings (From their docs)

Would be really nice to have this in requests-mock so that tests can be 1:1

What isn't supported at the moment for this to work? Because of where requests-mock sits in the chain there's generally nothing we need to do to support configuration like this, requests/urllib will turn it into a http request for us. I then normally just give some helpers to make matching easier.

In this case qs, as params changes based on a post/get etc, but:

import requests
import requests_mock


with requests_mock.Mocker() as m:
    url = 'https://httpbin.org/get'

    m.get(
        url=url,
        status_code=200,
        text='hello',
    )

    payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': ['value2', 'value3']}
    r = requests.get(url, params=payload)

    print("requests url", r.url)
    print("req-mock url", m.last_request.url)
    print("")
    print("requests payload", payload)
    print("req-mock payload", m.last_request.qs)

requests url https://httpbin.org/get?key1=value1&key2=value2&key2=value3
req-mock url https://httpbin.org/get?key1=value1&key2=value2&key2=value3

requests payload {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': ['value2', 'value3']}
req-mock payload {'key1': ['value1'], 'key2': ['value2', 'value3']}

you can see the qs is slightly different to the payload. At the point where i decode the qs i'm decoding the actual url so i i can't know if there was a single item array or not so for consistency it's always a string : list[string] response.

Thanks for the reply! I should have been more specific about my request, sorry about that.
I was trying to return different mocked results from the same url based on the param payload.
For example:

@pytest.fixture
def test_requests(requests_mock):
    url = "https://httpbin.org/get"
    
    #Mock all content
    payload = {"type": "all"}
    requests_mock.get(url, params=payload, text="ALL content")

    #Mock no content
    payload = {"type": "none"}
    requests_mock.get(url, params=payload, text="NO content")

I apologize if I'm totally wrong here and just doing something dumb. I'm new to Python :)

ah, i see. the functionality is there i just don't use the params key, as you say i normally try for consistency with requests so maybe i should have.

One conceptually nice thing about a params parameter is that it could urlencode the query parameters so that one doesn't have to when constructing the URL to match.
