savonrb/savon

This system is the Savon library, a Ruby client for interacting with SOAP web services. It provides core functionality for building SOAP requests, parsing WSDL definitions, and managing HTTP transport layers, now supporting both the legacy HTTPI backend and an opt-in Faraday transport. The system includes a robust testing infrastructure with mock expectations, SSL/mTLS support, and integration tests for complex scenarios like authentication and concurrent requests.

The project underwent significant modernization by updating dependencies to support Ruby 3.0, introducing an opt-in Faraday transport layer, and restructuring the library code. This period also involved replacing the legacy test suite with a comprehensive RSpec-based infrastructure to ensure coverage of core components.

This period focused on significantly expanding the project's testing capabilities by introducing a local integration test server with SSL and authentication support, alongside comprehensive SSL fixtures. The mock system was refactored to use an observer-based architecture with fluent expectation matchers, enabling rigorous verification of SOAP interactions and transport behaviors.

The project introduced an opt-in Faraday HTTP transport alongside the existing HTTPI backend, enabling advanced transport-level configuration. Comprehensive integration tests and fixtures were added to verify concurrent requests, WSDL parsing, and error handling for both transport implementations.

Savon now supports an opt-in HTTP transport backed by Faraday, allowing users to configure their own Faraday connection for advanced transport-level concerns like SSL, authentication, proxies, and middleware. This new transport layer, located in lib/savon/transport, includes a Faraday-specific implementation (lib/savon/transport/faraday.rb) that handles header assembly, request execution, and response normalization, while sharing common logging (lib/savon/transport/logging.rb) and response abstraction (lib/savon/transport/response.rb) with the existing HTTPI transport (lib/savon/transport/httpi.rb). The response object normalizes cookies differently per transport: HTTPI returns an array of HTTPI::Cookie objects, while Faraday returns a plain hash of name-value pairs, ensuring users of the Faraday path do not depend on HTTPI types.

Savon now supports an opt-in Faraday transport layer alongside the existing HTTPI transport. Users can switch by setting \transport: :faraday\ in their client configuration, which exposes a \client.faraday\ accessor for configuring middleware, SSL, and timeouts. When using Faraday, HTTPI-specific global options (such as \proxy\, \ssl\\\, \basic\_auth\, and \adapter\) are rejected at initialization; instead, Savon provides detailed migration hints in the error message to guide users toward the equivalent Faraday setup.

Executable binstubs have been added for bundle-audit, bundler-audit, rake, rspec, and rubocop in the bin directory. These scripts allow users to run these tools directly by name (e.g., \bundle-audit\) without needing to prefix commands with \bundle exec\, simplifying the workflow for development and testing tasks.

The Savon mock system has been refactored to use a new \MockExpectation\ class and an observer-based architecture. Users can now define expectations using a fluent interface (e.g., \expects(...).with(...).returns(...)\) and utilize the \:any\ symbol or RSpec-style matchers (via \===\) within expected message hashes for flexible validation. The mock system now actively verifies that all defined expectations are met and that responses are configured, raising specific errors if requests are unexpected, messages mismatch, or expected calls do not occur. A dedicated \SpecHelper\ is provided to integrate this verification into test suites, ensuring mocks are validated at the end of test runs.

The library has been reorganized to use a modular directory structure, replacing the previous flat file layout with separate require paths for version, client, model, and string utilities. The error handling system was updated to introduce a custom \Savon::Error\ base class, with specific exceptions like \UnknownOptionError\ and \UnknownOperationError\ inheriting from it. Additionally, the codebase now enforces frozen string literals and exposes an observer pattern for notifying external listeners about operations.

Added SSL and WSDL test fixtures for integration specs; Added SSL test fixtures for client certificates and keys; Added comprehensive test coverage for Savon core components; Added integration tests for Faraday transport and cookie handling; Added integration tests for concurrent requests, real-world WSDL parsing, and error handling; Added spec support infrastructure for testing; Added test coverage for the new transport abstraction layer; Initial test infrastructure setup with RSpec and SimpleCov; New local integration test server with authentication and SSL support; Removal of legacy test suite and fixtures.

The Savon gemspec and Gemfile have been updated to require Ruby 3.0.0 or higher and modernize the dependency stack. Runtime dependencies now include httpi 4.x, wasabi 5.x, and nokogiri 1.8.1+, replacing older libraries like hpricot and smacks-apricoteatsgorilla. Development dependencies have also been refreshed, adding bundler-audit, rubocop, and puma 8.x to support current CI and testing workflows.

The repository has been initialized with standard project configuration files, including a \.gitignore\ for Ruby artifacts, a \RuboCop\ configuration (\.rubocop.yml\) targeting Ruby 3.0 with RSpec and Rake plugins, and a corresponding \.rubocop\_todo.yml\ generated from the existing codebase. Documentation and process files have been added, including a \CHANGELOG.md\ following Keep a Changelog format, a \README.md\ with usage examples and installation instructions, a \CODE\_OF\_CONDUCT.md\, a \CONTRIBUTING.md\ guide, a \SECURITY.md\ policy, and a \RELEASING.md\ workflow. The legacy \README.rdoc\ has been removed.
