Cannot find mock/stub in process #PID<0.512.0> using Req
I have a simple GenServer making an HTTP request
defmodule GamePlay do
use GenServer
alias Wrapper
def start_link(_args) do
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, %{}, name: __MODULE__)
end
def init(state) do
{:ok, state, {:continue, :put_mapping}}
end
def handle_continue(:put_mapping, state) do
mapping = %{
"index_patterns" => ["game_play-*"]
}
config = Application.get_env(:search_flask, :elasticsearch_seeds, [])
if Keyword.get(config, :enabled?, true) do
Wrapper.create_template_mappings("game_play", mapping)
end
{:noreply, state}
end
end
and I am trying to put to test using Req, in Wrapper, I am sending an HTTP request using Req. but it only works once when I delete _build/test folder after that it stops working
defmodule GamePlayTest do
use ExUnit.Case, async: true
alias GamePlay
alias Wrapper
describe "GamePlay" do
setup do
on_exit(fn ->
Req.Test.verify_on_exit!()
end)
:ok
end
test "sends the correct request to Elasticsearch" do
Req.Test.stub(Wrapper, fn conn ->
Req.Test.json(
conn,
%{"acknowledged" => true}
)
end)
assert {:ok, pid} = GamePlay.start_link(%{})
assert %Req.Response{body: %{"acknowledged" => true}, status: 200} =
Req.get!(Application.get_env(:search_flask, :elasticsearch_req_options, []))
end
end
end
I have this in test.exs as well.
config :search_flask,
elasticsearch_req_options: [
plug: {Req.Test, Wrapper}
]
the is the error.
** (EXIT from #PID<0.570.0>) an exception was raised:
** (RuntimeError) cannot find mock/stub Wrapper in process #PID<0.571.0>

the test is simple as well but it only reaches to Wrapper.create_template_mappings only once after that it just keep failing.

The issue is that you’re setting the stub in the test process, but then attempting to use the stub in the GamePlay process.
Using an explicit allowance should help - the second example for Req.Test is nearly identical to your setup.

@ijunaidfarooq I came up to a similar issue and solved like this:
Check that out and see if it helps. It is working. But I still don’t know if that is the best solution.
