How to mock reject reponse with status > 400

How to mock reject reponse with status > 400 .
I want to mock errorneous response i.g.

      moxios.wait(() => {
        const request = moxios.requests.mostRecent();
        request.respondWith({
          status: 422,
          response: { message: 'problem' },
        });
      });

How can I do it?

I manage to do it via following :-

      const errResp = {
        status: 422,
        response: { message: 'problem' },
      };
      moxios.wait(() => {
        const request = moxios.requests.mostRecent();
        request.reject(errResp);
      });

Thanks for this lib.

For anyone using stubRequest you should be able to just use a non 2XX status:

moxios.stubRequest(/.*/, {
  status: 400,
  response: { message: 'problem' }
});

axios.get('something')
  .then(() => {
    // Not hit
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // Error
  });

@Sutikshan it looks like respondWith does this as well. Here it calls axois.settle which as you can see here rejects for invalid response statuses. Not sure why it wasn't working for you.

@rickhanlonii request.reject produces a cleaner JSON response whereas respondWith creates a Error instance itself (or something to that effect). Its very hard to do matchers on that one.

with respondWith

Expected value to match object:
      [{"status": "started", "type": "CONFIGURED_ACCOUNTS"}, {"error": {"status": 500}, "status": "failed", "type": "CONFIGURED_ACCOUNTS"}]
    Received:
      [{"status": "started", "type": "CONFIGURED_ACCOUNTS"}, {"error": [Error: Request failed with status code 500], "status": "failed", "type": "CONFIGURED_ACCOUNTS
ACCOUNTS"}]

with reject

error { status: 500,
        response:
         { title: 'mock error',
           description: 'mock error details',
           data: undefined } }

@mrchief you can use stubRequest or respondWith and still easily match the error instance as follows:

const error = new Error('Error: Request failed with status code 500')

moxios.stubRequest('/api', {
   status: 500,
   response: { error }
})

Its not an issue with moxios, just a quirk of axios: axios/axios#960 (comment)

Went with the interceptor approach and now I can reliably check my asserts.

I've tried all of the proposed solutions above and in theory they should work but I'm getting 'Request failed with status code

With any successful code it works but with non-success codes it throws that error
Is there any way to test bad/failure requests?

Hi @simonsankar,
Althought it's been a while I was wondering if you were able to find a solution?
Thanks in advance
