Race condition when mocking concurrent API calls
Hello, I’m trying to test some code that fires off multiple external API calls in parallel using Task.async_stream(). I’m using Mox to mock these external api calls like you see below. They work 95% of the time, but sometimes the second item’s api call fires off first, which results in a failed test. It seems that Mox cares about the order it receives its calls. Is there a way around this?
code:
Task.async_stream(employee_ids, fn emp_id -> EmployeeClient.get(emp_id) end)
Mocks:
expect(Mock, :get, fn "/employees/1" ->
{:ok,
%HTTPoison.Response{
status_code: 200
}}
end)
expect(Mock, :get, fn "/employees/2" ->
{:ok,
%HTTPoison.Response{
status_code: 200
}}
end)
Error msg:
** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in anonymous fn/1 in ----edited out file names----: anonymous fn("/employees/2") in ----edited out file names-----
Thanks!

Right as @hauleth notes, those definitions are clobbering each other. If you want to pattern match at the function level, do so at the function level:
expect(Mock, :get, fn
"/employees/1" ->
{:ok,
%HTTPoison.Response{
status_code: 200
}}
"/employees/2" ->
{:ok,
%HTTPoison.Response{
status_code: 200
}}
end)

I believe you can because I have 3 different routes mocked this way, and the others work without overwriting and pass 100% of the time. Its only this route that’s expecting concurrent calls that fails and its only failing about 5% of the time
