How to test

Tests are compatible with both nose and pytest, but pytest does not require extra configuration to start.

To run tests with pytest, type:

~/website$ python3 -m pytest

To checkout coverage, install pytest-cov and run:

~/website$ python3 -m pytest --cov=.

You can exclude third-party code integrated into you installation (if any exists) creating .coveragerc file with contents like:

[run]
omit =
    flask_sqlalchemy/*
    tests/*

And then running:

~/website$ python3 -m pytest --cov=. --cov-config .coveragerc

Parallel testing is possible thanks to pytest-xdist.

Recommended command for development testing

The ultimate and recommended command to test the app is:

python3 -m pytest -x --cov=. -n 4 -k 'not data_dependent'

It uses 4 cores, stops after first failure, excludes data dependent tests and generates coverage report.

Tools installation

Pytest and its plugins are not installed by default. To get them, use pip3:

pip3 install -r tests/requirements.txt
