automatically setups a postgresql instance in a temporary directory, and destroys it after testing
Project description
About
testing.postgresql automatically setups a postgresql instance in a temporary directory, and destroys it after testing.
Install
Use easy_install (or pip):
$ easy_install testing.postgresql
And testing.postgresql requires PostgreSQL server in your PATH.
Usage
Create PostgreSQL instance using testing.postgresql.Postgresql:
import testing.postgresql from sqlalchemy import create_engine # Lanuch new PostgreSQL server with testing.postgresql.Postgresql() as postgresql: # connect to PostgreSQL engine = create_engine(postgresql.url()) # if you use postgresql or other drivers: # import psycopg2 # db = psycopg2.connect(**postgresql.dsn()) # # do any tests using PostgreSQL... # # PostgreSQL server is terminated here
testing.postgresql.Postgresql executes initdb and postmaster on instantiation. On deleting Postgresql object, it terminates PostgreSQL instance and removes temporary directory.
If you want a database including tables and any fixtures for your apps, use copy_data_from keyword:
# uses a copy of specified data directory of PostgreSQL. postgresql = testing.postgresql.Postgresql(copy_data_from='/path/to/your/database')
For example, you can setup new PostgreSQL server for each testcases on setUp() method:
import unittest import testing.postgresql class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): self.postgresql = testing.postgresql.Postgresql() def tearDown(self): self.postgresql.stop()
