Testing that HTTP-request is not made in Rails

What is the easiest way to test if HTTP-request is not made?

Say, I want my application NOT to send an API call to a remote server, if the user doesn't supply a username.

What RSpec test should I write in my Rails app to test that HTTP-request is never made? Can fakeweb help me somehow?

Solution

  • You should probably try WebMock.
    It allows you to check the number of times some url was requested.

    assert_requested :post, "http://www.example.com", :times => 0
