MoxEnv Hex.pm


It's your application config but simply mocked with Mox.


Usage

# myapp/lib/myapp/config.ex
defmodule MyApp.Config do
  def get(key, default \\ nil) do
    Application.get_env(:my_app, key, default)
  end
end

# myapp/test/support/config_mock.ex
defmodule MyApp.ConfigMock do
  use MoxEnv, config: MyApp.Config
end

# myapp/lib/myapp.ex
defmodule MyApp do
  @config Application.get_env(:my_app, :config_module, MyApp.Config)

  def test_key do
    @config.get(:test_key)
  end

  def test_key_default do
    @config.get(:test_key_default, :default_value)
  end
end

# config/test.exs
config :my_app, config_module: MyApp.ConfigMock

With that configuration you can simply mock your config in tests, like Mox:

iex> MyApp.test_key
:test_value

iex> MyApp.ConfigMock.put_env(:test_key, :new_value)
:new_value

And import some handy helpers into your test cases:

defmodule MyApp.ConnCase do
  use ExUnit.CaseTemplate

  # ...

  using do
    import Mox
    import MyApp.ConfigMock, only: [put_env: 2, put_env: 3, allow_env: 1, allow_env: 2]

    setup [:set_mox_from_context, :verify_on_exit!]
  end

  # ...
end
