Question: Advice on testing

[scott-david-walker]

As the title states, can anybody give some advice about mocking/faking this project?
Looking at the tests inside the project, they actually test against an actual GPT instance and doesn't provide a way around this?

Thanks

There is a proxy csproj you could probably use to mock this a bit easier. I just like to test against the real deal, since the API changes too frequently.

Any news on this? I am currently updating from version "6.8.7" to "7.7.6" and it broke my working unit tests.

I suppose take baby steps with each release.
I keep the change log pretty well documented, and document all of the breaking changes and typically follow SemVer.

Any update/suggestions on this. I would llike to test my client code that wraps around calls to the OpenAIClient but I am unable to mock anything due to sealed classes, private setters and lack of interfaces.
I have hidden all of this library from my code behind an interface but the return type is still of type ChatResponse which i an unable to instantiate in any meaningfull form.

@ChrisBrookesWork - The only way I've found is to override the HttpMessageHandler as a part of the HttpClient. Not ideal but it's ok as a workaround

Literally ever object can be deserialized from json, so just mock your data, deserialize it, and test it against that.

I'm considering a way to mock/save all the test responses to effectively "rerun" them or mock them against specific uses
