apathetic-testing 0.2.0

Runtime-aware pytest extensions.

Apathetic Python Testing 🧪

📘 Roadmap · 📝 Release Notes

Runtime-aware pytest extensions.
When you need just a bit more.

Apathetic Python Testing provides a focused collection of pytest fixtures and utilities designed for Apathetic Tools projects. It helps you test CLI applications, logging behavior, and code that ships as stitched scripts or zipapps.

Some ways to generate stitched scripts are serger; and for zipapps: zipbundler or stdlib's zipapp.

[!NOTE] Heads up: the AI cooked dinner. It's edible, but watch your step.
Detailed bug reports welcome.

Quick Start

from apathetic_testing import patch_everywhere, runtime_swap
from apathetic_testing.logging import (
    isolated_logging,
    logging_test_level,
    logging_level_testing,
)

# Test log level isolation
def test_app_logging(isolated_logging):
    # Each test gets fresh logging state
    isolated_logging.set_root_level("DEBUG")
    my_app.run()

# Debug with maximum verbosity
def test_app_with_debugging(logging_test_level):
    # Root logger at TEST level - all logs visible
    my_app.run()

# Test log level changes
def test_cli_debug_flag(logging_level_testing):
    cli.main(["--log-level", "debug"])
    logging_level_testing.assert_level_changed_from("ERROR", to="DEBUG")

# Safe patching in all runtime modes
from unittest.mock import Mock
with patch_everywhere("module.function", Mock(return_value=42)):
    result = module.function()

# Test stitched/zipapp builds
def test_in_stitched_mode(runtime_swap):
    # Automatically swaps to stitched mode if available
    import my_package
    my_package.function()
