Mocking HTTP requests without in-process feature

Summary

I have read that using in-process feature is one solution to be able to mock HTTP requests.
https://github.com/erikhuda/thor/wiki/Integrating-with-Aruba-In-Process-Runs
But as described in:

• https://github.com/cucumber/aruba/issues/199
• https://github.com/cucumber/aruba/pull/159
  It is not possible to have both interactive CLI and use in-process feature.

Context & Motivation

I am using Thor on a gem that provides some commands to request information from a server. For example, when running a command I ask the user to choose between a set of servers available (thus interaction) and returns the requested information.

Current Behavior

To test my commands I tried using the in-process feature as described here https://github.com/erikhuda/thor/wiki/Integrating-with-Aruba-In-Process-Runs
which works fine to mock HTTP requests but fails as soon as there's interaction with CLI.

Expected Behavior

I would like to find a solution to have both mocking HTTP requests and using interactive CLI Aruba features like type('something')

Your Environment

rspec 3.6.0
aruba 0.14.2
webmock 3.0.1

Start with the linked Aruba in-process integration wiki page, issue 199, and pull request 159, then inspect how interactive CLI input such as type('something') is handled alongside HTTP mocking. Done means documenting or implementing a supported way to combine interactive Aruba features with mocked requests.
