Look guys, I know that you can start a super smart discussion about the approaches to test network-related stuff.
But my question was super simple. If I’m writing something that accesses github I can write a test for handling request limit error. And in ruby I can say: “ok in this test when you get a request to https://github…………/SomePathThatITest hive a response with this number and this headers”. And then I can test the result. If I cannot do this in Pharo, then I will not test it, it’s that easy. Cheers.
