Postgresql fixtures and fixture factories for Pytest.
Project description
pytest-postgresql
Package status
What is this?
This is a pytest plugin, that enables you to test your code that relies on a running PostgreSQL Database. It allows you to specify fixtures for PostgreSQL process and client.
How to use
Plugin contains two fixtures
postgresql - it’s a client fixture that has functional scope. After each test it ends all leftover connections, and drops test database from PostgreSQL ensuring repeatability.
postgresql_proc - session scoped fixture, that starts PostgreSQL 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 postgresql client and process fixtures if you’d need to:
from pytest_postgresql import factories
postgresql_my_proc = factories.postgresql_proc(
port=None, logsdir='/tmp')
postgresql_my = factories.postgresql('postgresql_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

Example usage:
pass it as an argument in your own fixture
postgresql_proc = factories.postgresql_proc( port=8888)use --postgresql-port command line option when you run your tests
py.test tests --postgresql-port=8888specify your port as postgresql_port in your pytest.ini file.
To do so, put a line like the following under the [pytest] section of your pytest.ini:
[pytest] postgresql_port = 8888
