Network mocking for testing the WordPress mobile apps based on WireMock.

To start the WireMock server as a standalone process, you can run it with this command:

./scripts/start.sh 8282

Here 8282 is the port to run the server on. It can now be accessed from http://localhost:8282.

The JSON files used by WireMock to handle requests and are located in src/main/assets. To generate one of these files you're first going to want to set up Charles Proxy (or similar) to work with your iOS Simulator.

Here's an example of what a mock might look like:

{
    "request": {
        "urlPattern": "/rest/v1.1/me/",
        "method": "GET"
    },
    "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "jsonBody": {
            // Your response here...
        },
        "headers": {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Connection": "keep-alive",
            "Cache-Control": "no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0"
        }
    }
}

These files are used to match network requests while the tests are being run. For more on request matching with WireMock check out their documentation.
