charms.unit-test 1.0.1

Helpers for unit-testing reactive-style Juju Charms

charms.unit_test

This library provides helpers for unit testing reactive style charms.

Usage

This library is intended to be used with pytest and conftest.py, which allows for mocking out imports prior to the test code being loaded.

Example conftest.py:

from charms.unit_test import patch_reactive, patch_module

# patch common things needed by any reactive charm
patch_reactive()

# patch some other module that the charm expects to be there
patch_module('charms.leadership')

With this, your test code can import the charm's reactive code which depends on charms.reactive and charmhelpers without error, and the libraries will be mocked out so that you can call your handlers directly to test them.
