pytest-listener 1.0.0

A simple network listener

Simple JSON listener using TCP that listens for data and stores it in a queue for later retrieval.

Installation

Install using your favourite package manager:

pip install pytest-listener
#  or..
easy_install pytest-listener

Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points):

pytest_plugins = ['pytest_listener']

Basic Test Usage

Here’s a test showing the basic functionality:

def test_listener(listener):
    data1 = {'foo': 1}
    listener.send(some_data)

    data2 = {'bar': 2}
    listener.send(some_data)

    assert listener.receive() == data1
    assert listener.receive() == data2

    data3 = {'baz': 3}
    listener.send(some_data)

    # Clear the listening queue - this deletes data3
    listener.clear_queue()

    data2 = {'qux': 4}
    listener.send(some_data)
    assert listener.recieve() == data3
