drf-test-generator 0.0.5

A Django app to generate basic tests for Django Rest Framework

drf-test-generator

This is a Django Package that generates basic tests for Django REST Framework.

Features

• Generates tests for all ViewSets in a Django REST Framework router
• Generates tests for all custom actions in a ViewSet
• Generates tests for all HTTP methods in a ViewSet
• Supports test generation for both pytest and unittest

Installation

pip install drf-test-generator

Setup

Add drf_test_generator to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "drf_test_generator",
]

Note: This is required for the Django Management Command. You can remove it from INSTALLED_APPS once you have generated the tests.

Generate Tests

Django Management Command

You can generate tests using the Django Management Command:

python manage.py generate_viewset_tests -r api.urls.router

Note: Currently this package only supports test generation for ViewSets that are registered in a router.

Django Management Command Options

-r or --router (REQUIRED)

The dotted path to the REST framework url router. This is the router that contains the ViewSets you want to generate tests for.

Example: --router api.urls.router

--test-base-class

The dotted path to the test base class. This is the class that your tests will inherit from. If not provided, the tests will inherit from rest_framework.test.APITestCase.

Example: --test-base-class tests.base.MyCustomTest

--namespace

The namespace to use for the URLs (e.g: api_v1:posts-list ). If not provided, no namespace will be used.

Example: --namespace api_v1

--output-file

The path to the output file. If not provided, the tests will be printed to the console.

Example: --output-file tests.py

--select-viewsets

A list of ViewSets to generate tests for. If not provided, tests will be generated for all ViewSets in the router.

Example: --select-viewsets PostViewSet CommentViewSet

--variant

The test variant to generate. Options: pytest, unittest. If not provided, unittest will be used.

Example: --variant pytest

--pytest-markers

A list of pytest markers to add to the generated tests. If not provided, only the @pytest.mark.django_db marker will be added.

Example: --pytest-markers pytest.mark.ignore_template_errors pytest.mark.urls('myapp.test_urls')

--pytest-fixtures

A list of pytest fixtures to add to the generated tests. If not provided, only the client fixture will be added.

Example: --pytest-fixtures django_user_model

Examples Usage

For the following code

# api/views.py
from rest_framework import viewsets
from rest_framework.decorators import action
from rest_framework.response import Response


class PostViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    # ...
    @action(detail=False, methods=["get", "post"], url_path="custom-action")
    def custom_action(self, request):
        return Response()

    @action(detail=True, methods=["get", "options", "put"], url_path="new-action")
    def custom_action2(self, request):
        return Response()


# api/urls.py
from rest_framework import routers

router = routers.DefaultRouter()

router.register("posts", PostViewSet, basename="post")

For Unittest

Run Command

python manage.py generate_viewset_tests -r api.urls.router

Output

from django.urls import reverse

from rest_framework import status

from rest_framework.test import APITestCase

    def test_post_retrieve_get(self):

        response = self.client.put(url, data={})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)

    def test_post_partial_update_patch(self):
        url = reverse("post-detail", kwargs={"pk": None})
        response = self.client.patch(url, data={})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)

    def test_post_destroy_delete(self):
        url = reverse("post-detail", kwargs={"pk": None})
        response = self.client.delete(url)
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)

    def test_post_custom_action2_get(self):
        url = reverse("post-custom-action2", kwargs={"pk": None})
        response = self.client.get(url)
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)

    def test_post_custom_action2_options(self):
        url = reverse("post-custom-action2", kwargs={"pk": None})
        response = self.client.options(url)
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)

    def test_post_custom_action2_put(self):
        url = reverse("post-custom-action2", kwargs={"pk": None})
        response = self.client.put(url, data={})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)

For Pytest

Run Command

python manage.py generate_viewset_tests -r api.urls.router --variant pytest

Output
