Multiple calls to the same endpoint with different results in webmock? - ruby

Question

I have some code that looks like this:
while response.droplet.status != env["user_droplet_desired_state"] do
sleep 2
response = ocean.droplet.show env["droplet_id"]
say ".", nil, false
end
The idea being you can set the app to wait until the server is in a certain state (eg. restart it, then watch it until it's active again)
However, I'm using webmock in the tests, and I can't figure out a way to give a different response the second time.
For example, code like this:
stub_request(:get, "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/6918990?per_page=200").
with(:headers => {'Accept'=>'*/*', 'Accept-Encoding'=>'gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3', 'Authorization'=>'Bearer foo', 'Content-Type'=>'application/json', 'User-Agent'=>'Faraday v0.9.2'}).
to_return(:status => 200, :body => fixture('show_droplet_inactive'), :headers => {})
stub_request(:get, "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/6918990?per_page=200").
with(:headers => {'Accept'=>'*/*', 'Accept-Encoding'=>'gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3', 'Authorization'=>'Bearer foo', 'Content-Type'=>'application/json', 'User-Agent'=>'Faraday v0.9.2'}).
to_return(:status => 200, :body => fixture('show_droplet'), :headers => {})
With the idea being "First time mark as in-active so the loop goes through one-time, then mark as active afterwards"
The documentation says that stubs are just done as "Last one found will work":
Always the last declared stub matching the request will be applied
i.e:
stub_request(:get, "www.example.com").to_return(:body => "abc")
stub_request(:get, "www.example.com").to_return(:body => "def")
Net::HTTP.get('www.example.com', '/') # ====> "def"
Is it possible to model multiple calls to the same endpoint with different results in webmock?

Answer 1

If you pass multiple arguments to #to_return, it will respond each time with the next response, and then just keep returning the last one over and over. For example:
require 'webmock/rspec'
require 'uri'
describe "something" do
it "happens" do
stub_request(:get, 'example.com/blah').
to_return({status: 200, body: 'ohai'}, {status: 200, body: 'there'})
puts Net::HTTP.get(URI('http://example.com/blah'))
puts Net::HTTP.get(URI('http://example.com/blah'))
puts Net::HTTP.get(URI('http://example.com/blah'))
puts Net::HTTP.get(URI('http://example.com/blah'))
end
end
When run as rspec <file>, this will print:
ohai
there
there
there
