It intercepts HTTP and HTTPS requests made by aiohttp.ClientSession and returns predefined responses without touching the network. You define routes using pattern matching (exact strings or regular expressions) on host, path, method, and body, then attach responses\u2014plain text, JSON dicts, custom Response objects, or callable handlers. When your test code makes a request, aresponses matches it to the first registered route, returns the response, and removes that route from the table.\n\nThe package is designed for pytest integration and requires explicit assertions at the end of each test to verify that routes were called in order, all routes were used, and no unmatched requests occurred. It supports regex patterns for flexible matching, repeated routes via the repeat parameter, JSON responses as a convenience, custom handler functions, and a passthrough mode to let specific requests reach the real network. Version 3.0.0 updated to use asyncio.get_running_loop() instead of the deprecated event_loop fixture pattern.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you write asyncio tests with aiohttp. It has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and is stable and widely used despite dormant maintenance. The trade-off: the last release was over 945 days ago, so if you need fixes for new Python or aiohttp versions, you may need to fork or wait for a maintainer response. For active projects on current Python (3.7\u20133.12), it works as-is."},"id":"aresponses","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aresponses","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aresponses.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aresponses/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aresponses","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Asyncio response mocking.
