httpdbg - a tool to trace the HTTP requests in your tests

[cle-b]

Hello,

I’m working on a tool that helps to debug HTTP requests in a python program. I use it mainly for pytest, when I want to trace all the HTTP requests sent by the tests.

I share the information here because I think it could be useful for people who are working on a large tests suite with a lot of HTTP requests.

I tried to make the usage as simple as possible.

To use it:

1. Install the httpdbg package in your venv:

pip install httpdbg[pytest]

2. Execute your pytest command using pyhttpdbg:

pyhttpdbg -m pytest tests/

(there is nothing to change in your tests or in the pytest command line arguments)

3. Open http://localhost:4909/:

That’s it.

Have a nice day,

Clément.
