Re: [web2py] Unit testing apis

[Kevin Huang]

Thanks all for the replies,

I was able to go to gluon.globals and get the HTTP 400 error to show what 
the problem was, turns out the request was still sending args and vars from 
the previous test.

Oddly enough, clearing the request variables and arguments (setting them to 
[] for instance) was able to solve the problem of getting the API calls to 
not have any more bad arguments.

I still am not sure how to start fresh (or perfectly reset) the request 
variables though, it seems that declaring

request = Request(env=[])

in setUp() does seem to work as I thought it would.



As a sidenote, thanks all for the recommendation for py2test, I'll take a 
look at it going forward, although I have a suspicion it wouldn't address 
my issue straight on.

Re: [web2py] Unit testing apis

[Richard Vézina]

I do have customized web2py.test while integrating some of welcome_enhanced
stuff like using splinter api for conducting testing + create a test
launcher to save some boiler plate initialization... I just don't have time
to exectract it form my own app and publish it... It rely on pytest... It
gear around system testing more than unit testing though...

 Hi all,


 I'm relatively new to web2py, and still trying to find more resources,
 but i've hit a wall, and I'm not quite sure on this issue I'm working with:


 So working with the "guide" from http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/def
 ault/show/260, I'm trying to create a few unit tests to test some
 RESTFUL api functions. However, while testing multiple test suites, it
 seems that the request information is carrying over somehow despite my
 attempts to make sure that I start with a new request object via setUp each
 time.

 The tests will run just fine if they're alone in the suite, but running
 some of them after the other I was running into HTTP 400 errors and during
 debugging I found out that the request data carrying over.

 Some "sample" code to illustrate what I was trying to do...

 import unittest
 from gluon.globals import Request

 # import api code
 execfile("applications/appname/controllers/app_api.py", globals())class


 # Test Put api
 TestPutAPI(unittest.TestCase):

  def setUp(self):
request = Request(env=[])  # new request, env must be set.

  def test_some_function(self):
request.vars['var1'] = 1
request.vars['var2'] = 2
request.env.request_method = 'PUT'
response = api() # call api

self.assertEquals(response['result'], 'success')

   def tearDown(self):
db.table.truncate()  # clean up db (nothing request related here)


 # Test Post api
 TestPostAPI(unittest.TestCase):

  def setUp(self):
request = Request(env=[])  # new request

  def test_some_function(self):
request.vars['var5'] = "asdf"
request.vars['var6'] = 6
request.env.request_method = 'POST'
response = api() # call api

self.assertEquals(response['result'], 'success')

  def tearDown(self):
db.table.truncate()  # clean up db (nothing request related here)


 # Run tests
 suite = unittest.TestSuite()
 suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(TestPutAPI))
 suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(TestPostAPI))

 unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)


 Is my entire approach to unit testing wrong? I know there's a lot a
 mention of doctests being recommended, also that the line request =
 Request() recommended by the original article also being wrong (or simply
 out of date), but I'm also unsure of how the request and api call is being
 processed in this scenario. Earlier I tried doing 2 calls to the same api
 in one test function and found that web2py (and this unittest) simply could
 not overwrite the request function - if that made any sense (it didn't, and
 didn't work).

 Anyone have any pointers?

 Thank you,
 KH

idk if that is the right way... i'm using this approach in on of my 
projects and at the moment the only problem i have is with the memory 
usage or the slow access with a file base sqlite database for the tests.

Some discussion here

There should be a link in web2py docs to suggest the best way to test.

[web2py] Unit testing apis

[Kevin Huang]

Hi all,


I'm relatively new to web2py, and still trying to find more resources, but 
i've hit a wall, and I'm not quite sure on this issue I'm working with:


So working with the "guide" from 
http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/260, I'm trying to create a few 
unit tests to test some RESTFUL api functions. However, while testing 
multiple test suites, it seems that the request information is carrying 
over somehow despite my attempts to make sure that I start with a new 
request object via setUp each time.

The tests will run just fine if they're alone in the suite, but running 
some of them after the other I was running into HTTP 400 errors and during 
debugging I found out that the request data carrying over.

Some "sample" code to illustrate what I was trying to do...

import unittest
from gluon.globals import Request

# import api code
execfile("applications/appname/controllers/app_api.py", globals())class 


# Test Put api
TestPutAPI(unittest.TestCase):

 def setUp(self):
   request = Request(env=[])  # new request, env must be set.

 def test_some_function(self):
   request.vars['var1'] = 1
   request.vars['var2'] = 2
   request.env.request_method = 'PUT'
   response = api() # call api

   self.assertEquals(response['result'], 'success') 

  def tearDown(self):
   db.table.truncate()  # clean up db (nothing request related here)


# Test Post api
TestPostAPI(unittest.TestCase):

 def setUp(self):
   request = Request(env=[])  # new request

 def test_some_function(self):
   request.vars['var5'] = "asdf"
   request.vars['var6'] = 6
   request.env.request_method = 'POST'
   response = api() # call api

   self.assertEquals(response['result'], 'success') 

 def tearDown(self):
   db.table.truncate()  # clean up db (nothing request related here)


# Run tests
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(TestPutAPI))
suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(TestPostAPI))

unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)


Is my entire approach to unit testing wrong? I know there's a lot a mention 
of doctests being recommended, also that the line request = Request() 
recommended by the original article also being wrong (or simply out of 
date), but I'm also unsure of how the request and api call is being 
processed in this scenario. Earlier I tried doing 2 calls to the same api 
in one test function and found that web2py (and this unittest) simply could 
not overwrite the request function - if that made any sense (it didn't, and 
didn't work).

Anyone have any pointers?

Thank you,
KH

 Antonio, I would not recommend you usint unittest classes, if you read
 any modern Python testing book or article, they all recommend using pytest.
 I used it in this project https://github.com/jre
 drejo/bancal/tree/master/web2py/applications/bancal
 just in case it can help you.

Not exactly what you want but it could help you understand testing with
web2py :

[web2py] Unit Testing in PyCharm

['Roman' via web2py-users]

Hi people.

Short question: is there a way to run unit tests for my web2py controllers 
from PyCharm?

I am running the latest web2py with version:  2.14.6-stable

What i found out so far:

There is an approach to run unit tests from command line. Following this 
blogpost: http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/260 i am able to run a 
unit test for my controller. BUT just for convinience i want to let my IDE 
manage those tests (i.e. start them and show me the results in a PyCharming 
way).

To let PyCharm run a unit test, you have to create a new run/debug 
configuration, you have to enter the location of a unit test script, to run 
it directly. PyCharm does some thing with "utrunner.py" (unit_test_runner?).
I tried to give the run/debug configuration the path to web2py.py and as 
parameter the "--shell= --import_models --run=my_script.py" thing. 
But unfortunately the "utrunner.py" needs well formatted unit test scripts.

Prior to the mentioned blogpost, there was another approach to run unit 
tests for web2py 
controllers: http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/213
Unfortunately, as mentioned in the other post, going that way, my 
controller action is not able to see the db :-(

Fazit:
Does anybody know a way how to run unit tests for my web2py controllers 
from PyCharm?
Or
Does anybody know how to run a unit test for my web2py controllers directly 
from command line (without web2py.py) and how can i pass a DAL object to 
the environment of my controller?

Many thanks in advance and greetings from Berlin

Roman

[web2py] unit testing controllers with auth decorators

[James O' Driscoll]

All,

I am having trouble unit-testing web2py app controllers which are decorated 
with @auht.requires_login().

I think I am missing something declaring the enviroment as I get, auth is 
not defined error. It would be great if I could get some assistance on this.

class TestListClients(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.env = env("contacts")
self.request = Request(self.env)  # Use a clean Request object
self.controller = 
exec_environment('applications/contacts/controllers/default.py', 
request=self.request)

Regarding Martin's response for anyone who is learning the ropes like me, I 
removed the execfile() line and placed my unit_test.py script in the module 
folder.

Re: [web2py] Unit Testing Database Best Practices

[Mark Li]

Thanks Richard, for now I am going to create a special database table that 
will follow the structure of the actual data tables, but with a fixed data 
set like you suggested (controls for count very well).

I'm still interested in any real examples people use for unit testing 
databases and controller functions, I'm sure i'm glossing over something!

[web2py] Unit Testing Database Best Practices

[Mark Li]

I'm fairly new to test-driven development and have decided it is the best 
way to go for my new webapp. While functional tests with selenium seem to 
be more straightforward (as far as what the tests want to accomplish), I'm 
lost on what unit tests for the database should test for.

For example, if I have a database table with columns id, 'dogowner', and 
'dogname', and have a controller returning a dict with 'dogowners', what 
should I be testing in the unit tests for the database and controller? 

The database table will be fixed with a limited number of 'dogowner' 
entries, about 10, so should I be testing whether the database has 10 
entries, and if the len of the dict returned by the controller is 10? This

database would I be testing for?

[web2py] Unit Testing

[Rod Watkins]

Hi everyone,

I am fairly new to web2py and python programming, but have had some rather 
wonderful success in the month or so I've been learning it.

I am now preparing to start a real project and want to have unit tests as I 
go.  I've read a bit (will be doing more) about python unit testing 
(doctests, unittest, nose, coverage, selenium), but I want to get some 
expert advise before I fully dive in, if I may. So a few questions:

1. Do you use unit tests?
2. What tools do you use (doctests, unittest, nose, coverage, selenium, 
mocker, or others)?
3. Do you use any of the test runners from the community? (
http://packages.python.org/web2py_utils/test_runner.html,http://www.web2pyslices.com/slices/take_slice/142,http://web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/260)
 
Which, if any, would you suggest using?

I'm mainly looking for some guidance about how to proceed, what to study 
and the best manner you've found to do unit tests.  For example, it is 
worth doing anything more than doctests in controllers? If so, what beyond 
them should I learn to use, etc.

Thanks everyone.
Rod

[web2py] Unit testing and faking authentication

[Keith Edmunds]

I've been looking that the unit testing page
(http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/260), which is very helpful.
However, most of my controller functions are decorated with
'@auth.requires_login()', and thus if I call them from the test suite,
they fail (issuing a redirect):

  File "/home/kae/hg/kae/web2py/gluon/tools.py", line 934, in 
settings.on_failed_authentication = lambda x: redirect(x)
  File "/home/kae/hg/kae/web2py/gluon/http.py", line 128, in redirect
Location=location)
HTTP: 303 SEE OTHER

One could argue that's a "correct" failure because the test suite isn't
authenticated, but I'd like to use unit tests to test functions that need
authentication. I don't want to test the authentication mechanism itself.

Is there a way to fake authentication to allow unit testing? Do others
have a better way of doing this?

[web2py] unit testing web2py and app engine

[David Phillips]

I am writing a web application using web2py for execution on app
engine. I've deployed other web2py apps there but I've never used any
app engine-specific utilities. In this project I want to use app
engine's taskqueue and run it on a backend instance.

I'm developing on app engine's dev_appserver which is working out
okay, but but I'm not seeing how to do unit testing.

Is this a problem that has been solved already?

Re: [web2py] Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[Thadeus Burgess]

Are we looking at the same thing?

The link you provided gives an example of using the unittest classes
(not doctest), in which you can import anything you want since it is
just a python file.

In the example is an example of executing your controllers in a web2py
environment.

Also the doctest example
http://www.web2py.com/examples/default/examples#testing_examples
anything in the >>> is python code so you can import modules if you
want.

Also, the doctests have access to the web2py environment, so they have
access to db.

[web2py] Unit testing in web2py : Some thoughts

[Jon Romero]

I've read about web2py and unit testing and I tried many things.
These are my thoughts (please correct me If I am wrong)

1. web2py uses doctests. doctests must be inside the controller
(increasing the noise) and are not flexible. Also, is not trivial to
use them in another automated built/test system
2. The only official example online is here 
http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/213
where you
cannot import models. I think that you have to load the environment
first (any code snippet how to do that)?

So, any decent solution that you guys know?

Thanks
