Rate limits cause tests to fail #15

Closed joshuathompson closed 7 years ago

joshuathompson commented 9 years ago

Forked the repo, cloned it, get the following upon running "go test":

--- FAIL: TestSubmit (1.08s)
    reddit_test.go:26: false
    reddit_test.go:53: failed to submit
    reddit_test.go:58: failed to submit
FAIL
exit status 1
FAIL    github.com/joshuathompson/geddit    1.866s

Apparently due to rate limits: "you are doing that too much. try again in x minutes.". It appears after a little research that maybe new accounts or accounts with no karma have stricter limitations.

These tests no longer exist. I'm going to think about the best way to test the library without hitting a live server. PyGithub for example records the request/response flow and replays them in order to mock a live server.
