Package

A pytest plugin for Sanic. It helps you to test your code asynchronously.

This plugin provides:

  • very easy testing with async coroutines
  • common and useful fixtures
  • asynchronous fixture support
  • test_client/sanic_client for Sanic application
  • test_server for Sanic application

You can find out more here:

http://pytest-sanic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Releases and change logs can be found here:

Install

pip install pytest-sanic

Quick Start

You don't have to load pytest-sanic explicitly. pytest will do it for you.

You can set up a fixture for your app like this:

import pytest
from .app import create_app

@pytest.yield_fixture
def app():
    app = create_app(test_config, **params)
    yield app

This app fixture can then be used from tests:

async def test_sanic_db_find_by_id(app):
    """
    Let's assume that, in db we have,
        {
            "id": "123",
            "name": "Kobe Bryant",
            "team": "Lakers",
        }
    """
    doc = await app.db["players"].find_by_id("123")
    assert doc.name == "Kobe Bryant"
    assert doc.team == "Lakers"

To send requests to your app, you set up a client fixture using the loop and sanic_client fixtures:

@pytest.fixture
def test_cli(loop, app, sanic_client):
    return loop.run_until_complete(sanic_client(app))

This test_cli fixture can then be used to send requests to your app:

async def test_index(test_cli):
    resp = await test_cli.get('/')
    assert resp.status_code == 200

async def test_player(test_cli):
    resp = await test_cli.get('/player')
    assert resp.status_code == 200

asynchronous fixture

pytest-sanic also supports asynchronous fixtures, just writes them like common pytest fixtures.

@pytest.fixture
async def async_fixture_sleep():
    await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
    return "sleep..."

Fixtures

Some fixtures for easy testing.

loop

pytest-sanic creates an event loop and injects it as a fixture. pytest will use this event loop to run your async tests. By default, fixture loop is an instance of asyncio.new_event_loop. But uvloop is also an option for you, by simpy passing --loop uvloop. Keep mind to just use one single event loop.

unused_port

an unused TCP port on the localhost.

test_server

Creates a TestServer instance by giving a Sanic application. It's very easy to utilize test_server to create your Sanic application server for testing.

@pytest.yield_fixture
def app():
    app = Sanic("test_sanic_app")

    @app.route("/test_get", methods=['GET'])
    async def test_get(request):
        return response.json({"GET": True})

    yield app

@pytest.fixture
def sanic_server(loop, app, test_server):
    return loop.run_until_complete(test_server(app))

You can also very easily override this loop fixture by creating your own, simply like,

@pytest.yield_fixture
def loop():
    loop = MyEventLoop()
    yield loop
    loop.close()

test_client

test_client has been deprecated, please use sanic_client instead, check out issue for more context.

sanic_client

Creates a TestClient instance by giving a Sanic application. You can simply have a client by using sanic_client, like

@pytest.yield_fixture
def app():
    app = Sanic("test_sanic_app")

    @app.route("/test_get", methods=['GET'])
    async def test_get(request):
        return response.json({"GET": True})

    @app.route("/test_post", methods=['POST'])
    async def test_post(request):
        return response.json({"POST": True})

    @app.route("/test_put", methods=['PUT'])
    async def test_put(request):
        return response.json({"PUT": True})

    @app.route("/test_delete", methods=['DELETE'])
    async def test_delete(request):
        return response.json({"DELETE": True})

    @app.route("/test_patch", methods=['PATCH'])
    async def test_patch(request):
        return response.json({"PATCH": True})

    @app.route("/test_options", methods=['OPTIONS'])
    async def test_options(request):
        return response.json({"OPTIONS": True})

    @app.route("/test_head", methods=['HEAD'])
    async def test_head(request):
        return response.json({"HEAD": True})

    @app.websocket("/test_ws")
    async def test_ws(request, ws):
        data = await ws.recv()
        await ws.send(data)

    yield app

@pytest.fixture
def test_cli(loop, app, sanic_client):
    return loop.run_until_complete(sanic_client(app, protocol=WebSocketProtocol))

    data = 'hello world!'
    await ws_conn.send(data)
    msg = await ws_conn.recv()
    assert msg == data
    await ws_conn.close()

small notes:

test_cli.ws_connect does not work in sanic.__version__ <= '0.5.4', because of a Sanic bug, but it has been fixed in master branch. And websockets.__version__ >= '4.0' has broken websockets in sanic.__version__ <= '0.6.0', but it has been fixed in master.

Tips

  • Blueprints Testing
  • test_cli.ws_connect does not work in sanic.__version__ <= '0.5.4', because of a Sanic bug, but it has been fixed in master branch.
  • Importing app has loop already running when you have db_init listeners.
  • Incorrect coverage report with pytest-cov, but we can have workarounds for this issue, it's a pytest loading plugin problem essentially.
  • Websockets > 4.0 has broken websockets in sanic.__version__ <= '0.6.0', but it has been fixed in this commit
