Need help testing response status codes

[Ray]

I have had no luck at all to get any useful behaviour out of WebMock.
Here is what I have in my Specs.

stub_request(:get, "https://example.com/some_name").
to_return(:status => 503, :body => "", :headers => {})

response = HTTParty.get( "https://example.com/some_name" )
=> nil

response = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("https://example.com/some_name")
=> ""
response.class
=> String

Environment:
Rails 3.2.3, Ruby 1.9.3-p125, OS X, Webmock '1.8.6'

What version of HTTParty are you using? With the latest release of it and Webmock I am not seeing the same behavior:

$ irb
>> require 'webmock'
=> true
>> include WebMock::API
=> Object
>> require 'httparty'
=> true
>> stub_request(:get, "https://example.com/some_name").to_return(:status => 503, :body => "", :headers => {})
=> GET https:examplecomsome_name

>> response = HTTParty.get("https://example.com/some_name")

=> #<HTTParty::Response:0x8 parsed_response=nil, @response=#<Net::HTTPServiceUnavailable 503  readbody=true>, headers{}
>> response.class
=> HTTParty::Response
>> WebMock::VERSION
=> "1.8.6"
>> HTTParty::VERSION
=> "0.8.3"

I'm using gem 'httparty', '0.8.3'
gem 'webmock', '1.8.6', :group => :test

It runs fine in IRB, but not in RAILS_ENV=test rails console.

I'm guessing it's either a conflict with another gem or possibly a
load order issue.
I created a blank rails project and I'm trying to home in on the error
source.

I have figured the culprit, but I don't have a solution yet.

Try running that again and using pry instead of irb.

Removing pry from the gem file makes it work in the Rails console,
sadly in the specs it still gives me a nil.
For now, I can't spare any more time to dwell on this.
I will come back to this issue later this month because I really want
to test against that. Maybe a better way to start would be to make the
WebMock specs fail, rather than trying to make mine pass.

So it seems to be working,
stub_request(:any, "www.example.com").to_return(:status => [500,
"Internal Server Error"])
response = HTTParty.get( "http://www.example.com/" )

response returns nil when you ask it

response
=> nil

However, response.response is still there, it's just a matter of
output, the underlying stuff is still working. Man, not one of my most
productive days. I will put some more time into this when I can, at
least I can use WebMock, so for now I'm happy.
