fixtup 0.1.1

integration testing on steroids

Fixtup

Do you have already given up on writing integration tests ?

• it would have been too complicated to mount several containers to run these tests
• it would have been necessary to write too much boilerplate to run these tests in a CI
• it would have taken another developer too many steps to run these tests
• it would have been difficult to debug them individually in an IDE

With Fixtup, write clear, robust and easy-to-execute integration tests with your favorite test framwork like pytest, unittest or event BDD framework as robot framework or behave.

• it starts the services needed to run your test
• it throws the longest fixtures only once whether you play a test or 100
• it cleans files and data between each test
• it runs on a developer's workstation without configuration

Benefits

• You can get up and running with Fixtup in minutes, even on legacy project, no matter what your test framework is.
• You will stop wasting your time on boilerplate code
• Fixtup provides an easy way to run tests in debug in your favorite IDE like pycharm and vscode.
• Fixtup is cross-platform which makes it easy to use it on Linux, Mac and Windows.

Here is an example that shows how fixtup makes it easier to test a function that generate a thumbnail.

def test_thumbnail_should_generate_thumbnail(self):

    # Magic happens with the instruction fixtup.up
    with fixtup.up('thumbnail_context') as f:
        # Given
        wd = os.getcwd()
        original_file = os.directory.join(wd, 'file.png')
        expected_thumbnail_file = os.directory.join(wd, 'file_t.png')

        # Then
        thumbnail(original_file, expected_thumbnail_file)

        # Then
        self.assertTrue(os.directory.isfile(expected_thumbnail_file)

The complete example is available in the repo
