drf-openapi-tester 2.0.1

Test utility for validating OpenAPI response documentation

DRF OpenAPI Tester

This is a test utility to validate DRF Test Responses against OpenAPI 2 and 3 schema. It has built-in support for:

• OpenAPI 2/3 yaml or json schema files.
• OpenAPI 2 schemas created with drf-yasg.
• OpenAPI 3 schemas created with drf-spectacular.

Installation

pip install drf-openapi-tester

Usage

First instantiate one or more instances of SchemaTester:

from openapi_tester import SchemaTester

schema_tester = SchemaTester()

If you are using either drf-yasg or drf-spectacular this will be auto-detected, and the schema will be loaded by the SchemaTester automatically. If you are using schema files though, you will need to pass the file path to the tester:

from openapi_tester import SchemaTester

# path should be a string
schema_tester = SchemaTester(schema_file_path="./schemas/publishedSpecs.yaml")

Once you instantiate a tester, you can use it to test responses:

from openapi_tester.schema_tester import SchemaTester

# you need to create at least one instance of SchemaTester.
# you can pass kwargs to it
schema_tester = SchemaTester()


def test_response_documentation(client):
    response = client.get('api/v1/test/1')
    assert response.status_code == 200
    schema_tester.validate_response(response=response)

If you are using the Django testing framework, you can create a base APITestCase that incorporates schema validation:

from openapi_tester.schema_tester import SchemaTester
from rest_framework.test import APITestCase
from rest_framework.response import Response

schema_tester = SchemaTester()


class BaseAPITestCase(APITestCase):
    """ Base test class for api views including schema validation """

    @staticmethod
    def assertResponse(response: Response, **kwargs) -> None:
        """ helper to run validate_response and pass kwargs to it """
        schema_tester.validate_response(response=response, **kwargs)

Then use it in a test file:

from shared.testing import BaseAPITestCase


class MyAPITests(BaseAPITestCase):
    def test_some_view(self):
        response = self.client.get("...")
        self.assertResponse(response)

Options

You can pass options either globally, when instantiating a SchemaTester, or locally, when invoking validate_response:

from openapi_tester import SchemaTester, is_camel_case
from tests.utils import my_uuid_4_validator

schema_test_with_case_validation = SchemaTester(
    case_tester=is_camel_case,
    ignore_case=["IP"],
    validators=[my_uuid_4_validator]
)

Or

from openapi_tester import SchemaTester, is_camel_case
from tests.utils import my_uuid_4_validator

schema_tester = SchemaTester()


def my_test(client):
    response = client.get('api/v1/test/1')
    assert response.status_code == 200
    schema_tester.validate_response(
        response=response,
        case_tester=is_camel_case,
        ignore_case=["IP"],
        validators=[my_uuid_4_validator]
    )

case_tester

The case tester argument takes a callable that is used to validate the key casings of both schemas and responses. If nothing is passed, case validation is skipped.

The library currently has 4 built-in case testers:

• is_pascal_case
• is_snake_case
• is_camel_case
• is_kebab_case

You can of course pass your own custom case tester.

ignore_case

List of keys to ignore when testing key casing. This setting only applies when case_tester is not None.

validators

List of custom validators. A validator is a function that receives two parameters: schema_section and data, and returns either an error message or None, e.g.:

from typing import Any, Optional
from uuid import UUID


def my_uuid_4_validator(schema_section: dict, data: Any) -> Optional[str]:
    schema_format = schema_section.get("format")
    if schema_format == "uuid4":
        try:
            result = UUID(data, version=4)
            if not str(result) == str(data):
                return f"Expected uuid4, but received {data}"
        except ValueError:
            return f"Expected uuid4, but received {data}"
    return None

field_key_map

You can pass an optional dictionary that maps custom url parameter names into values, for cases where this cannot be inferred by the DRF EndpointEnumerator. A concrete use case for this option is when the django i18n locale prefixes.

from openapi_tester import SchemaTester

schema_tester = SchemaTester(field_key_map={
  "language": "en",
})

Schema Validation

When the SchemaTester loads a schema, it runs it through OpenAPI Spec validator which validates that the schema passes without specification compliance issues. In case of issues with the schema itself, the validator will raise the appropriate error.

Known Issues

• We are using prance as a schema resolver, and it has some issues with the resolution of (very) complex OpenAPI 2.0 schemas. If you encounter issues, please document them here.
