Best practice for stubbing network calls in tests?

[adambarthelson]

For finding customers I've just used:

stub_request(:get,"https://<your secret key>:@api.balancedpayments.com/v1/customers?email=#<test email>").
    with(:headers => {'Accept'=>'*/*', 'Accept-Encoding'=>'gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3', 'User-Agent'=>'balanced-ruby/0.7.4'}).
       to_return(:status => 200, :body => "", :headers => {})

You can stick these in a method to and just pass it emails or parameters that you need for the url, keeping your tests a little cleaner.

you're using this library? https://github.com/bblimke/webmock

Correct, if that works for your case I'd probably close the issue. I'd expect they'd prefer to see this on stackoverflow than in open issues.

@adambarthelson @dylanjha yeah there's a stackoverflow issue, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11890336/whats-the-best-way-to-stub-out-network-calls-with-faraday-in-the-balanced-ruby/13021694#13021694

Does this help?

@mahmoudimus thank you, I saw that question. that answer helped but I wasn't sure if there were some other ways/alternatives. I've add this as an answer to that stack overflow question of yours. Thanks.
