I'm not in charge of maintaining the code base under test, but I have this method to try to test, which hits a real server:
func (a *APICoreSt) CallServer(context interface{}, apiType APIType, apiURL string, header map[string]string, jsonBody []byte) CallResultSt {
var (
Url = a.BaseURL + apiURL
err error
res *http.Response
resBody json.RawMessage
hc = &http.Client{}
req = new(http.Request)
)
req, err = http.NewRequest(string(apiType), Url, bytes.NewBuffer(jsonBody))
if err != nil {
//Use a map instead of errorSt so that it doesn't create a heavy dependency.
errorSt := map[string]string{
"Code": "ez020300007",
"Message": "The request failed to be created.",
}
logger.Instance.LogError(err.Error())
err, _ := json.Marshal(errorSt)
return CallResultSt{DetailObject: err, IsSucceeded: false}
}
for k, v := range header {
req.Header.Set(k, v)
}
res, err = hc.Do(req)
if res != nil {
resBody, err = ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
res.Body = ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewBuffer(resBody))
}
return CallResultSt{resBody, logger.Instance.CheckAndHandleErr(context, res)}
}
Clearly, since this is a unit test, I don't want to be making this call for real, and the test depends on external factors. Is there any way to inject any fakes/mocks, without touching this func itself (it's literally not my job to touch it)?
