Mock Google Ads API request

[Javier Val]

Hello everyone, 

When implementing our integration tests, there is a number of cases when we don't want to send real API requests. Instead we only want to imitate such sending. 

We are using the Google Ads .NET client, do you know a way to mock this behavior? Any tool, package or implementation?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Take a look at the Google Ads .NET client package sources. These sources have themselves unit tests, and some utilities - for instance, mock an error.

Hi Javier,

Thanks for reaching out.

Thank you also Zweitze for your recommendations.

In addition to that, when testing out the various features of the API, you can opt to use test accounts , and also the validate_only feature for services that support it (ex. validate_only of the CampaignService).

Let us know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Heidi Google Ads API Team

Thank you both very much for your answers.

For our unit tests we will rely on the Google Ads .NET client package sources, as Zweitze suggests. And for our integration tests I think using test accounts and validate_only is a very good solution.

Thanks for your help.
