pytest-api

This is a proof-of-concept project, showing how PyTest could be used in combination with a custom API client, to quickly and easily build api tests for a data-delivery service that is deployed and active on an existing environment.

Instructions

1. Add a .env file to your local copy of the repo. By default, this demo project will look for .env.qa in the root of the project. You can find a template to base this on, in apiclient/env_template. Info on how to set the values in that file can be found by asking Greg.

2. Create your virtual env:

python3 -m venv venv

3. Activate the environment:

source venv/bin/activate 

On Windows:

.\venv\Scripts\activate

4. Install requirements (pip will come from your venv)

pip install -r requirements.txt

Once this is done, executing the tests is just a matter of invoking pytest:

PyTest is configured to show the top 25 test durations, as well as the pass/fail status of all the tests. The tests have been marked with various tags, to allow for granular test selection. To see all the available markers:

(.venv) PS C:\Users\GregGauthier\Projects\local\pytest-api> pytest --markers                                                           
@pytest.mark.get: marks a test as a get request test (deselect with '-m "not get"')

@pytest.mark.role: marks a test as a role  test (deselect with '-m "not role"')

@pytest.mark.endpoint: marks a test as an endpoint test (deselect with '-m "not endpoint"')

@pytest.mark.redaction: marks a test as a redaction test (deselect with '-m "not redaction"')

@pytest.mark.client_application: marks a test as a client application test (deselect with '-m "not client_application"')

. . . (etc) . . .

To run tests with a specific marker:
