VWS Mock

Mock for the Vuforia Web Services (VWS) API and the Vuforia Web Query API.

Mocking calls made to Vuforia with Python requests

Using the mock redirects requests to Vuforia made with requests to an in-memory implementation.

This requires Python 3.12+.

pip install vws-python-mock

import requests
from mock_vws import MockVWS
from mock_vws.database import VuforiaDatabase

with MockVWS() as mock:
    database = VuforiaDatabase()
    mock.add_database(database=database)
    # This will use the Vuforia mock.
    requests.get('https://vws.vuforia.com/summary')

By default, an exception will be raised if any requests to unmocked addresses are made.

Using Docker to mock calls to Vuforia from any language

It is possible run a Mock VWS instance using Docker containers.

This allows you to run tests against a mock VWS instance regardless of the language or tooling you are using.

See the the instructions for how to do this.
