Use or create mock files depending on their existence

This context will switch the .mockPaths() to tests/testthat/dir (and then resets it to what it was before). If the tests/testthat/dir folder doesn't exist, capture_requests() will be run to create mocks. If it exists, with_mock_api() will be run. To re-record mock files, simply delete tests/testthat/dir and run the test.

Usage

with_mock_dir(dir, expr, simplify = TRUE, replace = TRUE)

Arguments

dir

character string, unique folder name that will be used or created under tests/testthat/

expr

Code to run inside the context

simplify

logical: if TRUE (default), plain-text responses with status 200 will be written as just the text of the response body. In all other cases, and when simplify is FALSE, the httr2_response object will be written out to a .R file using base::dput().

replace

Logical: should dir replace the contents of .mockPaths() (default) or be added in front of the existing paths? The default behavior here is the opposite of .mockPaths() so that the tests inside of with_mock_dir() are fully isolated.
