Add Url parameters to all Restkit request - ios

Is they a way to add some url parameters (like http://api.example.com/v3/object?data=123&info=test) to all restkit request witouth adding them manually to all
getObjectsAtPath:parameters:success:failure:
getObjectsAtPathForRouteNamed:object:parameters:success:failure:
...
each request should add the info parameter.
I've actually a way to do it, using Method Swizzling. Is they a way to do it directly with RestKit?

You have a couple of ways to do this:
you can either subclass the methods of RKObjectManager to something like this:
-(void)addedParamToGetObjectsAtPath:(NSString*)path parameters:(NSDictionary*)parameters success:(success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult)successBlock failure::^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error){
NSMutableDictionary* newParams = [NSMutableDictionary new];
if(parameters){
[newParams addEntriesFromDictionary:parameters];
}
newParams[#"info"]=test;
getObjectsAtPath:(NSString*)path parameters:(NSDictionary*)parameters success:(success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult){
// Deal with the success here
successBlock(operation, mappingResult);
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
//Deal with the error here
errorBlock(operation, error);
}];
Or tell Restkit to use a different RequestOperationClass
//When configuring RestKit
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:BASE_URL]];
//Some more configuration
//....
[objectManager registerRequestOperationClass:[YourObjectRequestOperation class]];
And define a subclass of RKObjectRequestOperation, YourObjectRequestOperation
#import "FBObjectRequestOperation.h"
#interface RKHTTPRequestOperation ()
#property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSMutableURLRequest* request;
#end
#implementation FBObjectRequestOperation
- (id)initWithHTTPRequestOperation:(RKHTTPRequestOperation *)requestOperation responseDescriptors:(NSArray *)responseDescriptors
{
NSParameterAssert(requestOperation);
NSParameterAssert(responseDescriptors);
//your method to change the requestOperation
RKHTTPRequestOperation* myRequestOperation = [YourObjectRequestOperation addParametersToRequest:requestOperation];
self = [super initWithHTTPRequestOperation:myRequestOperation responseDescriptors:responseDescriptors];
if (self) {
//Change headers or any other thing that you need
}
return self;
}
To actually change the requestOperation you will need to get the url from the request and and add there the new parameters. That will happen in this part RKHTTPRequestOperation* myRequestOperation = [YourObjectRequestOperation addParametersToRequest:requestOperation]; and I am living up to you to complete the code.
This should work for any request you are doing with the object manager.
This technique is also very helpful is you need to calculate headers dynamically for each request.

Centralized error handling for AFNetworking

I'm looking for a way to handle "generic" errors such as request timeouts or for when the connection goes offline.
Basically, I have multiple (singleton) subclasses of AFHTTPSessionManager where each one represents a client that handles requests to different servers. Each client is setup by overriding initWithBaseURL as recommended by the author of AFNetworking; this is where the request/response serializers as well as generic headers are set. Here's a sample client:
#implementation APIClient
+ (APIClient *)sharedClient {
static APIClient *sharedClient = nil;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
sharedClient = [[self alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"baseurl.goes.here"]];
});
return sharedClient;
}
- (instancetype)initWithBaseURL:(NSURL *)url
{
self = [super initWithBaseURL:url];
if(self) {
// Setup goes here
self.requestSerializer = [AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer];
self.requestSerializer.timeoutInterval = 20.0f;
self.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObjects:#"text/plain", #"text/html", nil];
[AFNetworkActivityIndicatorManager sharedManager].enabled = YES;
[AFNetworkActivityLogger sharedLogger].level = AFLoggerLevelDebug;
[[AFNetworkActivityLogger sharedLogger] startLogging];
}
return self;
}
- (void)startPostRequestWithPath:(NSString *)path parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters successBlock:(APISuccessBlock)success failureBlock:(APIFailureBlock)failure
{
[self POST:path parameters:parameters
success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nonnull task, id _Nonnull responseObject) {
success(responseObject);
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nullable task, NSError * _Nonnull error) {
if(isGenericError) {
// Do something generic here
}
else {
failure(error);
}
}];
}
Inside my model (e.g, Post), I have a static method that can be used by the view controller to fetch the data by passing its own success/failure blocks to the client. So it goes like this:
View Controller --> Model --> Client --> Model --> View Controller.
And here's the implementation of the model
#implementation Post
+ (void)fetchLatestPost:(void (^)(Post *parsedData, NSError *error))completion
{
[[APIClient sharedClient] startRequestWithPath:kIndexPath
parameters:nil
requestType:RequestTypePost
successBlock:^(id data) {
NSError *parsingError = nil;
Post *post = [[Index alloc] initWithDictionary:data error:&err];
completion(index, nil);
}
failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {
completion(nil, error);
}
];
}
When a view controller tries to fetch that Post and the request times out, I'd like to hide the contents of the screen and show a refresh button; this logic is implemented in my BaseViewController so that all view controllers can reuse it. The question is, how do I restart the SAME request when that button is clicked? Do note that a view controller can make multiple requests from different models with different method signatures. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't seem to figure this out at all.
I used to handle this using delegates, where the BaseViewController would implement the "generic" delegate methods. However, I've been trying to switch to blocks and while it does have its advantages, it doesn't allow me to make use of my BaseViewController since it's can't "override" the view controller's failure blocks.

AFHTTPSessionManager Delegate issue

here is my issue:
I have a AFHTTPSessionManager file, which is also a singleton, and manage all my API requests to my server. Once I got the answer from the server with a responseObject, I pass it back to the UIViewController who asked for it using a delegate.
My problem is : since my manager is a singleton, if another API request is made in the meantime by another UIViewController, the delegate is set to this controller and when my first request responseObject is received I can't pass it back to the first UIViewController anymore.
I hope it's easy to understand.
What would be the right way to solve this problem ?
Here is what a method looks like in my AFHTTPSessionManager class :
- (void)getStaffForCompany:(int)companyID
{
if ([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"currentUser"])
{
NSMutableDictionary *parameters = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
parameters[#"apiKey"] = agendizeApiKey;
parameters[#"token"] = [[AGZUserManager sharedAGZUser] currentApplicationUser].token;
[self GET:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"scheduling/companies/%d/staff", companyID] parameters:parameters success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {
if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(AGZClient:successedReceiveStaffList:)]) {
[self.delegate AGZClient:self successedReceiveStaffList:responseObject];
}
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(AGZClient:failedReceiveStaffList:)]) {
[self.delegate AGZClient:self failedReceiveStaffList:error];
}
}];
}
}
Thanks!
You could define your own completion block and pass your responseObject back to the controller, here is an example CustomCompletion.
Add this to your AFHTTPSessionManager.h just above the #implementation line.
typedef void(^CustomCompletion)(id responseObject);
Update your method to include the CustomCompletion object.
- (void)getStaffForCompany:(int)companyID withCompletion:(CustomCompletion)completion {
// On success pass the responseObject back like so.
completion(responseObject);
}
Then where all the magic happens, back in your controller call this method on your singleton and handle the completion.
[SingletonManager getStaffForCompany:1 withCompletion:^(id responseObject) {
if (responseObject) {
// do something with this object
}
}];
I haven't tested this code, but I do something very similar in Swift and it works a treat.

iOS RestKit POST unmodified JSON string

I have a special need to send a pre-formatted JSON string to the server. Due to the server using older Microsoft technology the JSON elements MUST be in a certain order. If I use the standard JSON processing of RestKit the JSON elements come from a dictionary and are added in hash order. Sadly this will not work for this one special case.
How can I send a pre-formatted JSON string instead of an NSDictionary that is converted to a JSON string with RestKit 0.2x?
Here is the code for the request using NSDictionary
RKObjectManager *objectManager = self.createObjectManager;
RKObjectMapping *requestMapping = [EssenceRequest.objectMapping inverseMapping];
[objectManager addRequestDescriptor:[RKRequestDescriptor requestDescriptorWithMapping:requestMapping
objectClass:EssenceRequest.class
rootKeyPath:nil
method:RKRequestMethodPOST]];
RKObjectMapping *responseMapping = EssenceRoot.objectMapping;
RKResponseDescriptor* essenceResponse = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:responseMapping
method:RKRequestMethodPOST
pathPattern:nil
keyPath:nil
statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];
[objectManager addResponseDescriptor:essenceResponse];
EssenceRequest *dataObject = [[EssenceRequest alloc] initWithContextAndHandle:uniqueHandle essenceHandle:essenceHandle];
[objectManager postObject:dataObject
path:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#%#GetEssences", Connection.apiPrefix, Connection.svcMedia, Connection.jsonSecure]
parameters:nil
success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
[serverResponseDelegate serverResponseSuccess:operation mappingResult:mappingResult ];
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
[serverResponseDelegate serverResponseFailure:operation error:error];
}];
The EssenceRequest
- (id)initWithContextAndHandle:(NSString *)uniqueHandle essenceHandle:(NSString *)essenceUH;
{
self = [super init];
if (self != nil) {
_request = #{
#"__type" : #"SpecificEssenceLocationRequest:#Messaging.Media",
#"Action" : #"1",
#"ContextUH" : uniqueHandle,
#"EssenceUH" : essenceUH
};
}
return self;
}
+ (RKObjectMapping*)objectMapping
{
RKObjectMapping *mapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:EssenceRequest.class];
[mapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:#{
#"request": #"request"
}];
return mapping;
}
The "__type" item must be the first time in the JSON request body. Right now with it being in a dictionary it shows up later in the body when the dictionary is converted to a JSON string.
I know this is poor JSON handling on the server. They will fix it at some point and not require the __type any more but for now I need to send it as needed. I was able to do this in my Android code so I know the request will work once I have the NSString formatted.
Disclaimer: following answer is just my own opinion / suggestion.
Use +[RKMimeTypeSerialization unregisterClass:[RKNSJSONSerialization class]] to unregister default RestKit json serialization class. Then write your own class with "hacked" keys order. Register it through +[RKMimeTypeSerialization registerClass:[RKMYJSONSerialization class] forMINEType:RKMIMETypeJSON]
This way your won't change any API's - just "inject" your code into serialization/deserialization mechanism (and this is what you actually need).
The default implementation of RKNSJSONSerialization is quite simple:
+ (id)objectFromData:(NSData *)data error:(NSError **)error
{
return [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:error];
}
+ (NSData *)dataFromObject:(id)object error:(NSError **)error
{
return [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:object options:0 error:error];
}
I think, you can go further yourself and write your own, based, of course on NSJSONSerialization or some another JSON serialization mechanism.
Taking Petro's answer a step further. This solution will maintain the functionality of all other requests.
After implementation you can wrap any JSON string in a SPRawJSON to send it as raw JSON for any request.
SPJSONSerialization.h
#import <RestKit/RestKit.h>
#interface SPRawJSON : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, readonly) NSString *json;
-(instancetype)initWithJSON:(NSString*)json;
+(RKObjectMapping*)mapping;
#end
#interface SPJSONSerialization : NSObject <RKSerialization>
#end
SPJSONSerialization.m
#import "SPJSONSerialization.h"
#implementation SPRawJSON
-(instancetype)initWithJSON:(NSString*)json
{
self = [super init];
if (self) {
_json = json;
}
return self;
}
+(RKObjectMapping*)mapping {
RKObjectMapping *mapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[SPRawJSON class]];
[mapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:#{ #"rawJSON": #"self" }];
return mapping;
}
#end
#implementation SPJSONSerialization
+ (id)objectFromData:(NSData *)data error:(NSError **)error {
return [RKNSJSONSerialization objectFromData:data error:error];
}
+ (NSData *)dataFromObject:(id)object error:(NSError **)error {
if ([object isKindOfClass:NSDictionary.class]) {
NSDictionary *dict = object;
id rawJSONObj = dict[#"rawJSON"];
if (rawJSONObj && [rawJSONObj isKindOfClass:SPRawJSON.class]) {
return [[(SPRawJSON*)rawJSONObj json] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}
}
return [RKNSJSONSerialization dataFromObject:object error:error];
}
#end
Registering the mapping
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager];
// Make requests bodies be sent as JSON
objectManager.requestSerializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON;
// Add inverse mapping for the request
RKRequestDescriptor *descriptor = [RKRequestDescriptor requestDescriptorWithMapping:[SPRawJSON mapping].inverseMapping objectClass:[SPRawJSON class] rootKeyPath:nil method:RKRequestMethodPOST];
[objectManager addRequestDescriptor:descriptor];
Registering the JSON Serializer
// Replace standard JSON Serializer with our custom one that accepts raw json strings as well (SPRawJSON)
let currentJSONSerializer = RKMIMETypeSerialization.serializationClass(forMIMEType: RKMIMETypeJSON)
RKMIMETypeSerialization.unregisterClass(currentJSONSerializer)
RKMIMETypeSerialization.registerClass(SPJSONSerialization.self, forMIMEType: RKMIMETypeJSON)
Example code for sending request
NSString *myJSON = #"{\"exampleKey\": \"Example value\"}";
SPRawJSON *rawJSON = [[SPRawJSON alloc] initWithJSON:myJSON];
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager];
[objectManager postObject:rawJSON path:#"foo/bar" parameters:nil success: ... failure: ...]
Notice that the mapping only maps POST requests, so if you want it to work for PUT, etc, you need to map that as well.

GET request using AFNetworking and saving response

I am doing a simple GET request with AFNetworking
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[manager GET:#"http://someapi.com/hello.json" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
Once I have made the request I want to be able to access the responseObject from any other method in the class.
I want to be able to save the responseObject so I can do something like display the output in a tableview.
It's common to creat object models that will be represented by JSON. When you get the response you would then parse the data into the models. The approach we use is to return the response to the requester through a completion block. You don't have to parse the JSON into strongly typed objects, but it really is helpful long term. It's probably a good idea to farm out the network request operations into a separate class (called a service) as well. This way you can instantiate a new service and get notified through a completion block that it is finished. For example your service's request signature could look like this:
typedef void(^HelloWorldCompletionHandler)(NSString *helloWorld, NSError *error);
- (void)requestHelloWorldData:(HelloWorldCompletionHandler)completionHandler;
// implementation
- (void)requestHelloWorldData:(HelloWorldCompletionHandler)completionHandler {
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[manager GET:#"http://someapi.com/hello.json" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
id JSONResponse = [operation responseObject];
if (operation.error) {
completionHandler(nil, error);
} else {
// parse the response to something
id parserResult = [self parseJSONResponse:JSONResponse];
completionHandler(parserResult, nil);
}
}];
This way you'll know when the network request is complete, and you can set the data you want on a property within your class. Then you could call tableView.reloadData in order to use the data in your table.
All that code would go into a service type class. I like to organize my services by responsibility. I don't know how many different data calls you make, but we have several for our project. If for instance you were making a weather app you could potentially organize by Current Conditions, Daily Forecasts, and Hourly Forecasts. I would make a service for each one of these requests. Say I created a CurrentConditionsService. The header would look something like this:
typedef void(^CurrentConditionsCompletionHandler)(CurrentConditions *currentConditions, NSError *error);
#interface CurrentConditionsService : NSObject
// locationKey is some unique identifier for a city
+ (instancetype)serviceWithLocationKey:(NSString *)locationKey;
- (void)retrieveCurrentConditionsWithCompletionHandler:(CurrentConditionsCompletionHandler)completionHandler;
#end
Then in my implementation file I would make the request and invoke the given completion handler like I demonstrated above. This pattern can be followed by many different services to the point where all your services could inherit from a base class that handles the request/response portions. Then your subclasses could override specific methods and handle/parse the data appropriately based on type.
If you go the route of parsing the JSON responses into model objects, all your parsers will need to conform to a protocol. This way in your super class it doesn't matter what the concrete implementation of your parser is. You supply the super class with a concrete implementation and all it knows how to do is invoke the parser and return the response.
An example JSON parser protocol would look like this:
#protocol AWDataParser <NSObject>
#required
- (id)parseFromDictionary:(NSDictionary *)dictionary;
- (NSArray *)parseFromArray:(NSArray *)array;
#end
And invoking it in your services super class:
- (id)parseJSONResponse:(id)JSONResponse error:(NSError **)error {
NSAssert(self.expectedJSONResponseClass != nil, #"parseResponse: expectedJSONResponseClass cannot be nil");
NSAssert(self.parser != nil, #"parseResponse: parser cannot be nil");
id parserResult = nil;
if (![JSONResponse isKindOfClass:self.expectedJSONResponseClass]) {
//handle invalid JSON reponse object
if (error) {
*error = [NSError errorWithDomain:NetworkServiceErrorDomain code:kNetworkServiceErrorParsingFailure userInfo:#{#"Invalid JSON type": [NSString stringWithFormat:#"expected: %#, is: %#",self.expectedJSONResponseClass, [JSONResponse class]]}];
}
} else {
if (self.expectedJSONResponseClass == [NSArray class]) {
parserResult = [self.parser parseFromArray:JSONResponse];
}else {
parserResult = [self.parser parseFromDictionary:JSONResponse];
}
if (!parserResult) {
if (error) {
*error = [NSError errorWithDomain:NetworkServiceErrorDomain code:kNetworkServiceErrorParsingFailure userInfo:nil];
}
}
}
return parserResult;
}
Use this approach:
NSURL *COMBINAT = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:#"http://someapi.com/hello.json"];
dispatch_async(kBgQueue, ^{
NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:
COMBINAT];
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(savedata:) withObject:data waitUntilDone:YES];
});
then simply call:
- (void)savedata:(NSData *)responseData {
NSError* error;
NSLog(#"Answer from server %#", responseData);
  // ... your code to use responseData
}
Just create a property:
#property(nonatomic, strong) id savedResponseObject;
and set it in the success handler of the request:
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[manager GET:#"http://someapi.com/hello.json"
parameters:nil
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
self.savedResponseObject = responseObject;
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
Then you will be able to access it from other places in your class by referencing:
self.savedResponseObject

how to unit testing AFNetworking request

i am making a GET request to retrieve JSON data with AFNetworking as this code below :
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:K_THINKERBELL_SERVER_URL];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
Account *ac = [[Account alloc]init];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient requestWithMethod:#"GET" path:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"/user/%#/event/%#",ac.uid,eventID] parameters:nil];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [httpClient HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSError *error = nil;
NSDictionary *JSON = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:&error];
if (error) {
}
[self.delegate NextMeetingFound:[[Meeting alloc]init] meetingData:JSON];
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error){
}];
[httpClient enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation];
the thing is i want to create a unit test based on this data, but i dont want that the test will actually make the request. i want a predefined structure will return as the response. i am kind'a new to unit testing, and poked a little of OCMock but cant figure out how to manage this.
Several things to comment about your question.
First of all, your code is hard to test because it is creating the AFHTTPClient directly. I don't know if it's because it's just a sample, but you should inject it instead (see the sample below).
Second, you are creating the request, then the AFHTTPRequestOperation and then you enqueue it. This is fine but you can get the same using the AFHTTPClient method getPath:parameters:success:failure:.
I do not have experience with that suggested HTTP stubbing tool (Nocilla) but I see it is based on NSURLProtocol. I know some people use this approach but I prefer to create my own stubbed response objects and mock the http client like you see in the following code.
Retriever is the class we want to test where we inject the AFHTTPClient.
Note that I am passing directly the user and event id, since I want to keep things simple and easy to test. Then in other place you would pass the accout uid value to this method and so on...
The header file would look similar to this:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#class AFHTTPClient;
#protocol RetrieverDelegate;
#interface Retriever : NSObject
- (id)initWithHTTPClient:(AFHTTPClient *)httpClient;
#property (readonly, strong, nonatomic) AFHTTPClient *httpClient;
#property (weak, nonatomic) id<RetrieverDelegate> delegate;
- (void) retrieveEventWithUserId:(NSString *)userId eventId:(NSString *)eventId;
#end
#protocol RetrieverDelegate <NSObject>
- (void) retriever:(Retriever *)retriever didFindEvenData:(NSDictionary *)eventData;
#end
Implementation file:
#import "Retriever.h"
#import <AFNetworking/AFNetworking.h>
#implementation Retriever
- (id)initWithHTTPClient:(AFHTTPClient *)httpClient
{
NSParameterAssert(httpClient != nil);
self = [super init];
if (self)
{
_httpClient = httpClient;
}
return self;
}
- (void)retrieveEventWithUserId:(NSString *)userId eventId:(NSString *)eventId
{
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/user/%#/event/%#", userId, eventId];
[_httpClient getPath:path
parameters:nil
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSDictionary *eventData = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:0 error:NULL];
if (eventData != nil)
{
[self.delegate retriever:self didFindEventData:eventData];
}
}
failure:nil];
}
#end
And the test:
#import <XCTest/XCTest.h>
#import "Retriever.h"
// Collaborators
#import <AFNetworking/AFNetworking.h>
// Test support
#import <OCMock/OCMock.h>
#interface RetrieverTests : XCTestCase
#end
#implementation RetrieverTests
- (void)setUp
{
[super setUp];
// Put setup code here; it will be run once, before the first test case.
}
- (void)tearDown
{
// Put teardown code here; it will be run once, after the last test case.
[super tearDown];
}
- (void) test__retrieveEventWithUserIdEventId__when_the_request_and_the_JSON_parsing_succeed__it_calls_didFindEventData
{
// Creating the mocks and the retriever can be placed in the setUp method.
id mockHTTPClient = [OCMockObject mockForClass:[AFHTTPClient class]];
Retriever *retriever = [[Retriever alloc] initWithHTTPClient:mockHTTPClient];
id mockDelegate = [OCMockObject mockForProtocol:#protocol(RetrieverDelegate)];
retriever.delegate = mockDelegate;
[[mockHTTPClient expect] getPath:#"/user/testUserId/event/testEventId"
parameters:nil
success:[OCMArg checkWithBlock:^BOOL(void (^successBlock)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *, id))
{
// Here we capture the success block and execute it with a stubbed response.
NSString *jsonString = #"{\"some valid JSON\": \"some value\"}";
NSData *responseObject = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[mockDelegate expect] retriever:retriever didFindEventData:#{#"some valid JSON": #"some value"}];
successBlock(nil, responseObject);
[mockDelegate verify];
return YES;
}]
failure:OCMOCK_ANY];
// Method to test
[retriever retrieveEventWithUserId:#"testUserId" eventId:#"testEventId"];
[mockHTTPClient verify];
}
#end
The last thing to comment is that the AFNetworking 2.0 version is released so consider using it if it covers your requirements.
