💖 GitLab...4::Mock(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, listen — this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and it's about GitLab::API::v4::Mock, aka your new fave little test buddy. it's giving "fake it till you make it" but, like, in a good way 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

GitLab::API::v4::Mock — Mock API object for testing. literally what it says on the tin, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe in four lines:

use GitLab::API::v4::Mock;

my $api = GitLab::API::v4::Mock->new();

that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module is a subclass of GitLab::API::v4 💜. it doesn't reinvent anything, it just takes the normal one and modifies it so the REST client gets mocked, courtesy of GitLab::API::v4::Mock::RESTClient. it's like putting a little costume on your API object, honestly adorable 🙈

and the whole point? writing unit tests 💅. that's it, that's the assignment. if you're out here testing your code without hitting the real GitLab servers, this is your girl. periodt.

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

two attributes got a lil glow-up here. let's get into it 🍓

💫 url

this one is altered from url in GitLab::API::v4 — two changes, both slay:

• it now defaults to https://example.com/api/v4 🌈
• and it's not required anymore, so you can just… not set it. freedom. iconic.

💫 rest_client_class

also altered, this time from rest_client_class in GitLab::API::v4 💖. the glow-up? it now defaults to GitLab::API::v4::Mock::RESTClient, so the mocking just happens without you lifting a finger. the way that it handles itself for you… obsessed 😭
