Test Max Retries

I made an HTTP adapter:

session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False

# Try max of 3 times before erroring out
retry_adapter = requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter(max_retries=3)
session.mount('https://', retry_adapter)

I wanted to make sure it will automatically retry, but it seems it’s not getting triggered right:

exception = ConnectionError('Bad connection')
with responses.RequestsMock(assert_all_requests_are_fired=False) as rsp:
   rsp.add(responses.POST, url, body=exception)
   rsp.add(responses.POST, url, body=exception)
   rsp.add(responses.POST, url, body='{}')
   session.post(url=url, json={})

It just keeps raising the exception.

Same here, trying to test a session with Retry.

Retry don’t work with responses lib, so I think at least it would be nice to write about such limitation in readme or docs.

#!/usr/local/bin/python3

import requests
import responses

from requests.packages.urllib3.util.retry import Retry


@responses.activate
def test():
    responses.add(responses.GET, 'https://google.com', body='Error', status=500)
    responses.add(responses.GET, 'https://google.com', body='OK', status=200)

    session = requests.Session()

    adapter = requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter(max_retries=Retry(
        total=2,
        backoff_factor=0.1,
        status_forcelist=[500],
        method_whitelist=['GET', 'POST', 'PATCH']
    ))
    session.mount('http://', adapter)
    session.mount('https://', adapter)

    r = session.get('https://google.com')
    print(r)
