Convenience plugin on top of the testbed the Google Appengine (GAE) SDK already provides.
pip install pytest-beds
After that the plugin is enabled by default. You can use specific fixtures (see below) to activate the Testbed and stub specific services.
--no-gae
- Disable the plugin, esp. do not change the python paths and try to import dev_appserver.
--sdk-path PATH
- The plugin assumes it can just
import dev_apserver
. If that fails it looks up the SDK path in the environment variableGAE
. Otherwise, you can specify the path to the SDK by using the--sdk-path PATH
option. --project-root PATH
- Secondly, the plugin assume that your current path is the projects root folder, t.i. the dirctory which holds the app.yaml. You can specify a different path using
--project-root PATH
. --noisy-tasklets
- By default the plugin shortens the tracebacks when using ndb tasklets, so they don't include the eventloop's internal noise. Use this switch to make ndb noisy again.
The plugin provides fixtures to stub the different services. Usage is therefore simple and straightforward:
# Say, if you create a Foo you hit the database and put some work on queue def test_foo(ndb, taskqueue): foo = Foo.create() assert Foo.query().fetch() == [foo]
List of builtin fixtures:
bed mailer channel urlfetch memcache taskqueue blobstore ndb users
There are two fixtures anonymous
and login
to handle the users-stub.
anonymous
- Prepares the user stub so that
users.get_current_user()
will return None login
Prepares the user stub and returns a function to login actual users:
def test_login(login): # at this point users.get_current_user() will return None login(id=1, email='[email protected]') # now users.get_current_user() will return a user login.logout() # now users.get_current_user() will return None again
The deferreds
fixture inits the taskqueue stub, but returns a useful object, so you can actually run the deferred functions:
def test_work(deferreds): deferred.defer(work, 'to be done') deferreds.consume() assert 'work has been done'
