Pytest Plugin to disable socket calls during tests
Project description
A plugin to use with Pytest to disable or restrict socket calls during tests to ensure network calls are prevented.
This Pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot’s Cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.
Features
Disables all network calls flowing through Python’s socket interface.
Requirements
Pytest 3.6.3 or greater
Installation
You can install “pytest-socket” via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install pytest-socket
Usage
Run pytest --disable-socket, tests should fail on any access to socket or libraries using socket with a SocketBlockedError.
To add this flag as the default behavior, add this section to your pytest.ini or setup.cfg:
[pytest] addopts =
--disable-socketor update your conftest.py to include:
from pytest_socket import disable_socket def pytest_runtest_setup(): disable_socket()
To enable specific tests use of socket, pass in the fixture to the test or use a marker:
def test_explicitly_enable_socket(socket_enabled): assert socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) @pytest.mark.enable_socket def test_explicitly_enable_socket_with_mark(): assert socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
To allow only specific hosts per-test:
@pytest.mark.allow_hosts(['127.0.0.1']) def test_explicitly_enable_socket_with_mark(): assert socket.socket.connect(('127.0.0.1', 80))
or for whole test run
[pytest] addopts =
--allow-hosts=127.0.0.1,127.0.1.1
