Question

i would like to mock a web service response. The response is a XML, and contains both simple quotes and double quotes.

The response is pretty big, so here are my solutions:

• trim the response to make it smaller and backslash the simple quotes for example

• backslash the simple quotes for example

• add the response to a file and parse it

But the thing is, I’d like to test a large response, and not create a resource test folder with a file. And as you can imagine, backslashing everything is long and boring.

I also tried the triple double quote, not working of course.

How would you do it?

You could use Ruby here documents.

xml = <<DOC
<xml>
<food attribute="soup">'eel'</food>
</xml>
DOC
