pytest-elasticsearch 1.2.1

pytest-elasticsearch

Package status

What is this?

This is a pytest plugin, that enables you to test your code that relies on a running Elasticsearch search engine. It allows you to specify fixtures for Elasticsearch process and client.

How to use

Plugin contains two fixtures

• elasticsearch - it’s a client fixture that has functional scope, and which cleans Elasticsearch at the end of each test.

• elasticsearch_proc - session scoped fixture, that starts Elasticsearch instance at it’s first use and stops at the end of the tests.

Simply include one of these fixtures into your tests fixture list.

You can also create additional elasticsearch client and process fixtures if you’d need to:

from pytest_elasticsearch import factories

elasticsearch_my_proc = factories.elasticsearch_proc(
    port=None, logsdir='/tmp')
elasticsearch_my = factories.elasticsearch('elasticsearch_my_proc')

Configuration

You can define your settings in three ways, it’s fixture factory argument, command line option and pytest.ini configuration option. You can pick which you prefer, but remember that these settings are handled in the following order:

• Fixture factory argument

• Command line option

• Configuration option in your pytest.ini file

Example usage:

• pass it as an argument in your own fixture

  elasticsearch_proc = factories.elasticsearch_proc(
      cluster_name='awsome_cluster)

• use --elasticsearch-logsdir command line option when you run your tests

  py.test tests --elasticsearch-cluster-name=awsome_cluster

• specify your directory as elasticsearch_cluster_name in your pytest.ini file.

  To do so, put a line like the following under the [pytest] section of your pytest.ini:

  [pytest]
  elasticsearch_cluster_name = awsome_cluster
