Webmock not responding to stub request with query

Question

I'm working on a Ruby on Rails gem and I'm trying webmock because I need to interact (and test) an external API not under my control. So, here is the snippet which is in `before(:each)` because I was stubbing it there: ``` before do uri = URI.join(client.class.base_uri, DataComApi::ApiURI.search_contact).to_s stub_request( :get, uri ).with( query: hash_including({ 'pageSize' => 0, 'offset' => 0 }) ).to_return( body: FactoryGirl.build( :data_com_search_contact_response, totalHits: 0 ).to_json ) # DEBUG require 'httparty' HTTParty.get( uri, { query: { offset: 0, pageSize: 0 } } ) end ``` And here you can see the console output of `rspec` command: ``` 3) DataComApi::Client#search_contact returns instance of SearchContact Failure/Error: HTTParty.get( WebMock::NetConnectNotAllowedError: Real HTTP connections are disabled.

I solved it by myself, looks like is a bug: you must stub the request in webmock with `'query'` (a `String`) because `Symbol` doesn't work. The worst part is that symbols are allowed inside the query hash.

I reported it as a bug: https://github.com/bblimke/webmock/issues/366

Edit I was wrong, looks like the only way is: use query key as a symbol, but values of the hash must be strings, otherwise it won't be found (params in query are always strings)
