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.

[StephenHodgson]

let me think on it. I'm sure there's a way to test against fake proxy service without changing the core project.

Just seems unnecessary to change your whole client library just to enable mock tests. less is more.

[scott-david-walker]

Normally I'd agree, but when your client library acts as an interface to an api, I think it becomes more important. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on a possible solution.

Any news on this? I am currently updating from version "6.8.7" to "7.7.6" and it broke my working unit tests.
The issues is I have is the following:

I created a wraper around your service for the calls I need in order to be able to test my logic to various responses. With the version I used before, I was able to construct some of your response classes, such as 'ChatResponse', 'Choice', etc.. This is no longer possible due to constructors becoming private. I also tried deserializing them from Json, but obviously that didn't work at all either since the setters are private too.

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.
