Pass a list of Callable or a Generator to side_effect

I’m migrating from requests-mock. I have a mock that is supposed to return first a response with a delay, then the same response but instantly.

Using requests-mock, I had achieved with a list of response containing a callable :

def license_file_with_delay(request):
    sleep(0.5)

    return license_file_with_1_random_license_and_1_eval(request)

def test_should_mock_with_delay_first(requests-mock):
    requests-mock.post("https://mocked-api/", [
             {"json": license_file_with_delay},
             {"json": license_file_with_1_random_license_and_1_eval},
    ])

I don’t find an easy way to achieve this using respx. I think a good way would be with a generator.

def return_values(request):
    yield httpx.Response(200, json=license_file_with_delay),
    while True:
        yield httpx.Response(200, json=license_file_with_1_random_license_and_1_eval)

respx_mock.post("https://mocked-wallix-api/api/license/").mock(side_effect=return_values)

A generator would also allow to mimic the requests-mock behavior of always returning the last response of the list if the list is exhausted. Would it make sense to include this behavior ?

Yeah, I think it’s a nice feature to add the route to the side effect kwargs…will look into it in the future.

Currently though, my first suggestion is a fully working example using RESPX without any “hacks” 😉
