mocurly 0.2.3

A library that allows your python tests to easily mock out the recurly library

mocurly

Mocurly is a library that mocks the recurly python client so that you can easily write tests for applications that use the recurly python client.

Full documentation is available at readthedocs.

Overview

Mocurly acts as a mock backend for the recurly client, allowing you to use the recurly python client AS IS. This means that all your code that uses the recurly python client and targets recurly objects will all work as you would expect. Best of all: you can use the recurly python client to setup the test environment!

For example, suppose you had a simple function in your app that lists all the users in recurly, and counts them:

import recurly
recurly.API_KEY = 'foo'
recurly.SUBDOMAIN = 'bar'

def count_recurly_accounts():
    return len(recurly.Account.all())

With mocurly, you can test the above code like so:

import recurly
recurly.API_KEY = 'foo'
recurly.SUBDOMAIN = 'bar'
from mocurly import mocurly
from count_module import count_recurly_accounts

@mocurly
def test_count_recurly_accounts():
    for i in range(10):
        recurly.Account(account_code=str(i)).save()
    assert count_recurly_accounts() == 10

Within the decorator context, all calls to recurly are captured by mocurly, which keeps the state in memory for the duration of the context. No actual web calls are made, allowing you to test your recurly code without worrying about existing context or internet connections.

Usage

You can use mocurly as a decorator, context manager, or manually.

Decorator

@mocurly
def test_count_recurly_accounts():
    for i in range(10):
        recurly.Account(account_code=str(i)).save()
    assert count_recurly_accounts() == 10

Context Manager

def test_count_recurly_accounts():
    with mocurly():
        for i in range(10):
            recurly.Account(account_code=str(i)).save()
        assert count_recurly_accounts() == 10

Manual

def test_count_recurly_accounts():
    mocurly_ = mocurly()
    mocurly_.start()

    for i in range(10):
        recurly.Account(account_code=str(i)).save()
    assert count_recurly_accounts() == 10

    mocurly_.stop()

Install

$ pip install mocurly
