pytest-elasticsearch 2.0.1

Elasticsearch process and client fixtures for py.test.

pytest-elasticsearch

Package status

What is this?

This is a pytest plugin that enables you to test your code that relies on a running Elasticsearch search engine. It allows you to specify fixtures for Elasticsearch process and client.

How to use

Warning

This plugin requires at least version 5.0 of elasticsearch to work.

The plugin contains two fixtures:

• elasticsearch - a client fixture that has functional scope, and which cleans Elasticsearch at the end of each test.
• elasticsearch_proc - a session scoped fixture, that starts Elasticsearch instance at its first use and stops at the end of the tests.
• elasticsearch_nooproc - a nooprocess fixture, that’s holds connection data to already running elasticsearch

Simply include one of these fixtures into your tests fixture list.

You can also create additional elasticsearch client and process fixtures if you’d need to:

from pytest_elasticsearch import factories

elasticsearch_my_proc = factories.elasticsearch_proc(
    port=None, logsdir='/tmp')
elasticsearch_my = factories.elasticsearch('elasticsearch_my_proc')

Note

Each elasticsearch process fixture can be configured in a different way than the others through the fixture factory arguments.

Connecting to already existing Elasticsearch service

Some projects are using already running Elasticsearch servers (ie on docker instances). In order to connect to them, one would be using the elasticsearch_nooproc fixture.

es_external = factories.elasticsearch('elasticsearch_nooproc')

By default the elasticsearch_nooproc fixture would connect to elasticsearch instance using 9300 port.

Configuration

You can define your settings in three ways, it’s fixture factory argument, command line option and pytest.ini configuration option. You can pick which you prefer, but remember that these settings are handled in the following order:

1. Fixture factory argument
2. Command line option
3. Configuration option in your pytest.ini file

Configuration options

ElasticSearch option	Fixture factory argument	Command line option	pytest.ini option	Noop process fixture	Default
logs directory	logsdir	–elasticsearch-logsdir	elasticsearch_logsdir		$TMPDIR
host	host	–elasticsearch-host	elasticsearch_host	host	127.0.0.1
port	port	-elasticsearch-port	elasticsearch_port	6300	random
Elasticsearch cluster name	cluster_name	–elasticsearch-cluster-name	elasticsearch_cluster_name		elasticsearch_cluster_<port>
index storage type	index_store_type	–elasticsearch-index-store-type	elasticsearch_index_store_type		mmapfs
network publish host	network_publish_host	–elasticsearch-network-publish-host	elasticsearch_network_publish_host		127.0.0.1
logs prefix	logs_prefix	–elasticsearch-logs-prefix	elasticsearch_logs_prefix
transport tcp port	transport_tcp_port	–elasticsearch-transport-tcp-port	elasticsearch_transport_tcp_port		random
configuration path	configuration_path	–elasticsearch-configuration-path	elasticsearch_configuration_path		/etc/elasticsearch

Example usage:

• pass it as an argument in your own fixture

  elasticsearch_proc = factories.elasticsearch_proc(
      cluster_name='awsome_cluster)
  

• use --elasticsearch-logsdir command line option when you run your tests

  py.test tests --elasticsearch-cluster-name=awsome_cluster
  

• specify your directory as elasticsearch_cluster_name in your pytest.ini file.

  To do so, put a line like the following under the [pytest] section of your pytest.ini:

  [pytest]
  elasticsearch_cluster_name = awsome_cluster
