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
Install with:
pip install pytest-postgresqlYou will also need to install psycopg2, or one of its alternative packagings such as psycopg2-binary (pre-compiled wheels) or psycopg2cffi (CFFI based, useful on PyPy).
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, unixsocketdir='/var/run')
postgresql_my = factories.postgresql('postgresql_my_proc')Connecting to already existing postgresql database
Some projects are using already running postgresql servers (ie on docker instances). In order to connect to them, one would be using the postgresql_nooproc fixture.
postgresql_external = factories.postgresql('postgresql_nooproc')By default the postgresql_nooproc fixture would connect to postgresql instance using 5432 port. Standard configuration options apply to it.
These are the configuration options that are working on all levels with the postgresql_nooproc fixture:
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
Maintaining database state outside of the fixtures
It is possible and appears it’s used in other libraries for tests, to maintain database state with the use of the pytest-postgresql database managing functionality:
For this import DatabaseJanitor and use it’s init and drop methods:
from pytest_postgresql.factories import DatabaseJanitor
# variable definition
janitor = DatabaseJanitor(user, host, port, db_name, version)
janitor.init()
# your code, or yield
janitor.drop()
# at this moment you'll have clean database stepor use it as a context manager:
from pytest_postgresql.factories import DatabaseJanitor
# variable definition
with DatabaseJanitor(user, host, port, db_name, version):
# do something herePackage resources
CHANGELOG
2.2.0
[feature] ability to properly connect to already existing postgresql server using postgresql_noproc fixture.
2.1.0
[enhancement] Gather helper functions maintaining postgresql database in DatabaseJanitor class.
[deprecate] Deprecate init_postgresql_database in favour of DatabaseJanitor.init
[deprecate] Deprecate drop_postgresql_database in favour of DatabaseJanitor.drop
2.0.0
[feature] Drop support for python 2.7. From now on, only support python 3.5 and up
[feature] Ability to configure database name through plugin options
[enhancement] Use tmpdir_factory. Drop logsdir parameter
[ehnancement] Support only Postgresql 9.0 and up
[bugfix] Always start postgresql with LC_ALL, LC_TYPE and LANG set to C.UTF-8. It makes postgresql start in english.
1.4.1
[bugfix] Allow creating test databse with hyphens
1.4.0
[enhancements] Ability to configure additional options for postgresql process and connection
[bugfix] - removed hard dependency on psycopg2, allowing any of its alternative packages, like psycopg2-binary, to be used.
[maintenance] Drop support for python 3.4 and use 3.7 instead
1.3.4
[bugfix] properly detect if executor running and clean after executor is being stopped
1.3.3
[enhancement] use executor’s context manager to start/stop postrgesql server in a fixture
1.3.2
[bugfix] version regexp to correctly catch postgresql 10
1.3.1
[enhancement] explicitly turn off logging_collector
1.3.0
[feature] pypy compatibility
1.2.0
[bugfix] - disallow connection to database before it gets dropped.
[cleanup] - removed path.py dependency
1.1.1
[bugfix] - Fixing the default pg_ctl path creation
1.1.0
[feature] - migrate usage of getfuncargvalue to getfixturevalue. require at least pytest 3.0.0
1.0.0
create command line and pytest.ini configuration options for postgresql starting parameters
create command line and pytest.ini configuration options for postgresql username
make the port random by default
create command line and pytest.ini configuration options for executable
create command line and pytest.ini configuration options for host
