Description
Nice pytest plugin to help you with Django pluggable application testing.
This exposes some useful tools for Django applications developers to facilitate tests authoring, including:
Settings overriding
Template tags testing
User creation
Request object creation
Management command calls
Mailing
etc.
Suitable for testing apps for Django 1.7+.
How to use
Let’s say you have classical tests placing (inside application directory):
package_dir
|__ myapp
| |__ __init__.py
| |__ tests
| | |__ __init__.py
| | |__ conftest.py <- Configure djangoapp here.
|
|__ setup.py
Add the following lines into conftest.py to configure djangoapp and start using it:
# conftest.py
from pytest_djangoapp import configure_djangoapp_plugin
pytest_plugins = configure_djangoapp_plugin()
Fixtures usage examples can be found in the documentation and the source code.
What about pytest-django
There is a couple of design decisions in pytest-django that might make it uncomfortable to work with.
It uses setuptools entrypoints feature for pytest plugin discovery. It’s not a problem by itself, but all kinds of bootstrapping with side effects made by pytest-django just on startup, make the plugin a poor choice for cases of system-wide (i.e. not venv) installations.
Philosophy that next to no unit test should require DB access may be quite annoying.
