Test Client

I'm sure that you already faced the problem with testing your database anmd thinking about a way of making sure the tests against models would land in a specific targeted database instead of the one used for development, right?

Well, at least I did and it is annoying the amount of setup required to make it happen and for that reason, Edgy provides you already one client that exctly that job for you.

Before continuing, make sure you have the Edgy test client installed with the needed requirements.

$ pip install edgy[test]

DatabaseTestClient

This is the client you have been waiting for. This object does a lot of magic for you and will help you manage those stubborn tests that should land on a test_ database.

from edgy.testclient import DatabaseTestClient

Parameters

  • url - The database url for your database. This can be in a string format or in a databases.DatabaseURL.

    from databases import DatabaseURL

  • force_rollback - This will ensure that all database connections are run within a transaction that rollbacks once the database is disconnected.

    Default: False

  • lazy_setup - This sets up the db first up on connect not in init.

    Default: True

  • use_existing - Uses the existing test_ database if previously created and not dropped.

    Default: False

  • drop_database - Ensures that after the tests, the database is dropped.

    Default: False

  • test_prefix - Allow a custom test prefix or leave empty to use the url instead without changes.

    Default: testclient_default_test_prefix (defaults to test_)

Configuration via Environment

Most parameters defaults can be changed via capitalized environment names with EDGY_TESTCLIENT_.

E.g. EDGY_TESTCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX=foobar or EDGY_TESTCLIENT_FORCE_ROLLBACK=true.

This is used for the tests.

How to use it

This is the easiest part because is already very familiar with the Database used by Edgy. In fact, this is an extension of that same object with a lot of testing flavours.

Let us assume you have a database url like this following:

DATABASE_URL = "postgresql+asyncpg://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/my_db"

We know the database is called my_db, right?

When using the DatabaseTestClient, the client will ensure the tests will land on a test_my_db.

Pretty cool, right?

Nothing like an example to see it in action.

What is happening

Well, this is rather complex test and actually a real one from Edgy and what you can see is that is using the DatabaseTestClient which means the tests against models, fields or whatever database operation you want will be on a test_ database.

But you can see a drop_database=True, so what is that?

Well drop_database=True means that by the end of the tests finish running, drops the database into oblivion.
