Mock Jenkins API to test Wreq requests

[dogonthehorizon]

As a Bartlett developer, I want some means to mock Jenkins API responses, so that I can unit test my IO actions and have greater confidence in the codebase.

This could also be accomplished by running the tests in a Docker container with a running Jenkins instance. This may or may not be more work.

AC:

• tests written against Build and Info actions
• tests can be run locally without an internet connection

Hi @dogonthehorizon, just spotted this as we are debugging jenkins api interactions.
The solution we are using is with WireMock (wire mock.org) running standalone.
The quickest way of getting going it running is in standalone proxy mode, recording some wanted interactions, then editing/extending to fit your needs and rerunning.
Works a treat!
Hope that is of use, Chris

Hey that's a great idea @chris-pollard-assurity, thanks for the suggestion! That could be a great alternative to finding a Haskell-native mocking solution.

If no one is interested in picking up this work I'll get to it sometime Soon™ :)
