Stubbing the XML AWS expects is not easy (expects lists to have member keys) and has lots of repetitive elements like XyzResponse + XyzRequest … so I wanted to share a few useful helpers that make it dry.

(Alternative: use stub_requests, example PR)

  # turn ruby hashes into aws style xml
  def fake_xml(name, body={})
    xml = {"#{name}Result" => body}
      .to_xml(root: "#{name}Response", camelize: true).
      .gsub(/ type="array"/, '')
    loop do
      break unless xml.gsub!(%r{<(\S+)s>\s*<\1>(.*?)</\1>\s*</\1s>}m, "<\\1s><member>\\2</member></\\1s>")
    end
    xml
  end

  def expect_aws_request(method, url, action, response={})
    request = stub_request(method, url).
      with(:body => /Action=#{action}(&|$)/)
    request = if response.is_a?(Exception)
      request.to_raise(response)
    else
      request.to_return(:body => fake_xml(action, response))
    end
    requested << request
    request
  end

  def expect_upload_certificate
    expect_aws_request(
      :post, "https://iam.amazonaws.com/",
      "UploadServerCertificate",
      {server_certificate_metadata: {arn: 'FAKE-ARN'}}
    )
  end

  after { requested.each { |r| assert_requested r } }

  it "uploads a cert" do
    expect_upload_certificate
    manager.upload.must_equal 'FAKE-ARN'
  end
