pytest-grpc 0.3.0

pytest plugin for grpc

pytest-grpc

Write test for gRPC with pytest.

Exmaple

See example dir and/or read 'usage'.

Usage

For example you have some proto file with rpc declaration.

syntax = "proto3";

package test.v1;


service EchoService {
    rpc handler(EchoRequest) returns (EchoResponse) {
    }
}


message EchoRequest {
    string name = 1;
}

message EchoResponse {
    string name = 1;
}

After compile it with grpcio-tools, you get *_pb2.py and *_pb2_grpc.py files, now you can write your service.

from stub.test_pb2 import EchoRequest, EchoResponse
from stub.test_pb2_grpc import EchoServiceServicer


class Servicer(EchoServiceServicer):
    def handler(self, request: EchoRequest, context) -> EchoResponse:
        return EchoResponse(name=f'test-{request.name}')

    def error_handler(self, request: EchoRequest, context) -> EchoResponse:
        raise RuntimeError('Some error')

Point pytest with your stubs and service:

import pytest

from stub.test_pb2 import EchoRequest


@pytest.fixture(scope='module')
def grpc_add_to_server():
    from stub.test_pb2_grpc import add_EchoServiceServicer_to_server

    return add_EchoServiceServicer_to_server


@pytest.fixture(scope='module')
def grpc_servicer():
    from servicer import Servicer

    return Servicer()


@pytest.fixture(scope='module')
def grpc_stub(grpc_channel):
    from stub.test_pb2_grpc import EchoServiceStub

    return EchoServiceStub(grpc_channel)

Write little test:

def test_some(grpc_stub):
    request = EchoRequest()
    response = grpc_stub.handler(request)

    assert response.name == f'test-{request.name}'

def test_example(grpc_stub):
    request = EchoRequest()
    response = grpc_stub.error_handler(request)

    assert response.name == f'test-{request.name}'

Run tests agains real gRPC server

Run tests against read grpc server worked in another thread:

Run tests directly to python code

Call handlers directly, with fake grpc internals:

py.test --grpc-fake-server

In this case your get nice direct exceptions:
