The missing test library for Celery.

Project description

The missing test library for the Celery Python library. Some of the things graveolens can help with include:

  • Provide resultss to Celery task calls without hitting your broker.

  • Ensuring that you know exactly which tasks are called.

  • Easily assert the arguments of task calls.

  • Easily handle results when using send_task in Celery.

The binomial name for celery is Apium graveolens.

Returning Results

from my_app.celery import app
import graveolens

def test_my_task():
    with graveolens.activate() as celery:
        celery.add('my_app.task', {'done': True, 'status': 'OK'})

        result = app.send_task('my_app.task', 'test', id=3)

        # The result is an EagerResult from Celery.
        assert result.get() == {'done': True, 'status': 'OK'}

        # You can also check ALL the calls that Celery received.
        assert len(celery.calls) == 1
        assert celery.calls[0].name == 'http://twitter.com/api/1/foobar'
        assert celery.calls[0].args == ('test', )
        assert celery.calls[0].kwargs == {'id': 3}

Asserting Celery Calls

By default, if a result is added and unused this raises an AssertionError when the context manager exits, e.g.:

import graveolens

def test_my_task():
    with graveolens.activate() as celery:
        celery.add('my_app.task')

    # Assertion will be raised here because 'my_app.task' is never called.

This can be configured using the assert_all_tasks_called flag to activate().

Additionally, if a Celery task is called without having a result set-up then graveolens.NotMockedTask will be raised.

from my_app.celery import app
import graveolens

def test_my_task():
    with graveolens.activate() as celery:
        try:
            result = app.send_task('my_app.task', 'test', id=3)
        except graveolens.NotMockedTask:
            # Exception will be raised since my_app.task has no result.
            pass
