License

This project is open sourced under the MIT License.

Installation

$ pip install django-sabot

• Add 'sabot', to your project’s INSTALLED_APPS list.

• Add some sabot patches in your settings.py file.

Usage

In you settings.py file:

from django.db import OperationalError

from sabot.import *

SABOT_PATCHES = (
    ConnectPatcher(error_generator=RandomErrorProducer, kwargs={'low': 1, 'high': 3}),
    CursorPatcher(error_producer=RandomErrorProducer, kwargs={'exception': OperationalError, 'low': 1, 'high': 10}),
    CursorPatcher(error_producer=CountErrorProducer, kwargs={'exception': OperationalError, 'number': 100, 'reset': True}),
    CursorPatcher(error_producer=TimeDeltaErrorProducer, kwargs={'exception': OperationalError, 'timedelta': {'seconds': 30}, 'reset': True}),
)

A django-sabot patch is composed of a monkey patcher class and an error producer class.

For example:

CursorPatcher(error_producer=TimeDeltaErrorProducer, kwargs={'exception': OperationalError, 'timedelta': {'seconds': 30}, 'reset': True}),

will produce an OperationalError when a database cursor is requested, every 30 seconds.
