Installation

Installation of this package varies on which parts of it you would like to use. It uses optional dependencies (specified in the table above) to reduce the number of 3rd party packages required. This way if you don’t use MongoDB, you don’t need to install PyMongo.

# Install with support for just mongodb
pip install pytest-server-fixtures[mongodb]

# Install with support for mongodb and jenkins
pip install pytest-server-fixtures[mongodb,jenkins]

# Install with Docker support
pip install pytest-server-fixtures[docker]

# Install with Kubernetes support
pip install pytest-server-fixtures[kubernetes]

# Install with only core library and support for httpd and xvfp
pip install pytest-server-fixtures

Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points):

pytest_plugins = ['pytest_server_fixtures.httpd',
                  'pytest_server_fixtures.jenkins',
                  'pytest_server_fixtures.mongo',
                  'pytest_server_fixtures.postgres',
                  'pytest_server_fixtures.redis',
                  'pytest_server_fixtures.rethink',
                  'pytest_server_fixtures.xvfb',

port

Port number that the server is listening on

dead

True/False: am I dead yet?

    db = mongo_server.api.mydb
    collection = db.test_coll
    test_coll.insert({'foo': 'bar'})
    assert test_coll.find_one()['foo'] == 'bar'

Postgres

The postgres module contains the following fixture:

Fixture Name

Description

postgres_server_sess

Session-scoped Postgres server

The Postgres server fixture has the following properties:

Property

Description

connect()

Returns a raw psycopg2 connection object connected to the server

connection_config

Returns a dict containing all the data needed for another db library to connect with.

You may wish to build another fixture on top of the session-scoped fixture; for example:

def create_full_schema(connection):
    """Create the database schema"""
    pass

@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def db_config_sess(postgres_server_sess: PostgresServer) -> PostgresServer:
    """Returns a DbConfig pointing at a fully-created db schema"""
    server_cfg = postgres_server_sess.connection_config
    create_full_schema(postgres_server_sess.connect())
    return postgres_server_sess

Redis

The redis module contains the following fixtures:

Fixture Name

Description

redis_server

s3_bucket

Function-scoped S3 bucket

The S3 server has the following properties:

Property

Return a boto3 Resource: (boto3.resource('s3', ...)

The S3 Bucket has the following properties:

Property

Description

client

Boto3 Resource from the server

Here’s an example on how to run up one of these servers:

def test_connection(s3_bucket):
    bucket = s3_bucket.client.Bucket(s3_bucket.bucket_name)
    assert bucket is not None

RethinkDB

The rethink module contains the following fixtures:

Fixture Name

Description

rethink_server

Function-scoped Redis server

rethink_server_sess

Session-scoped Redis server

rethink_unique_db

Session-scoped unique db

rethink_module_db

Here’s an example on how to run up one of these servers:

def test_rethink(rethink_server):
    conn = rethink_server.conn
    conn.table_create('my_table').run(conn)
    inserted = conn.table('my_table').insert({'foo': 'bar'}).run(conn)
    assert conn.get(inserted.generated_keys[0])['foo'] == 'bar

Creating Tables

You can create tables for every test in your module like so:

FIXTURE_TABLES = ['accounts','transactions']

def test_table_creation(rethink_module_db, rethink_make_tables):
    conn = rethink_module_db
    assert conn.table_list().run(conn) == ['accounts', 'transactions']

Emptying Databases

RehinkDb is annecdotally slower to create tables that it is to empty them (at least at time of writing), so we have a fixture that will empty out tables between tests for us that were created with the rethink_make_tables fixture above:

FIXTURE_TABLES = ['accounts','transactions']

def test_put_things_in_db(rethink_module_db, rethink_make_tables):
    conn = rethink_module_db
    conn.table('accounts').insert({'foo': 'bar'}).run(conn)
    conn.table('transactions').insert({'baz': 'qux'}).run(conn)


def test_empty_db(rethink_empty_db):
    conn = rethink_empty_db
    assert not conn.table('accounts').run(conn)
    assert not conn.table('transactions').run(conn)

Apache httpd

The httpd module contains the following fixtures:

Fixture Name

Description

httpd_server

Function-scoped httpd server to use as a web proxy

The fixture has the following properties at runtime:

Property

Description

document_root

path.path to the document root

log_dir

path.path to the log directory

Here’s an example showing some of the features of the fixture:

def test_httpd(httpd_server):
    # Log files can be accessed by the log_dir property
    assert 'access.log' in [i.basename() for i in httpd_server.log_dir.files()]

    # Files in the document_root are accessable by HTTP
    hello = httpd_server.document_root / 'hello.txt'
    hello.write_text('Hello World!')
    response = httpd_server.get('/hello.txt')
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.text == 'Hello World!'

Proxy Rules

An httpd server on its own isn’t super-useful, so the underlying class for the fixture has options for configuring it as a reverse proxy. Here’s an example where we’ve pulled in a pytest-pyramid fixture and set it up to be proxied from the httpd server:

import pytest
from pytest_server_fixtures.httpd import HTTPDServer

pytest_plugins=['pytest_pyramid']

@pytest.yield_fixture()
def proxy_server(pyramid_server):

    # Configure the proxy rules as a dict of source -> dest URLs
    proxy_rules = {'/downstream/' : pyramid_server.url
                  }

    server = HTTPDServer(proxy_rules,
                         # You can also specify any arbitrary text you want to
                         # put in the config file
                         extra_cfg = 'Alias /tmp /var/tmp\n',
                         )
    server.start()
    yield server
    server.teardown()

def test_proxy(proxy_server):
    # This request will be proxied to the pyramid server
    response = proxy_server.get('/downstream/accounts')
    assert response.status_code == 200

Simple HTTP Server

The http module contains the following fixtures:

Fixture Name

Description

simple_http_server

Function-scoped instance of Python’s SimpleHTTPServer

The fixture has the following properties at runtime:

Property

Description

document_root

path.path to the document root

Here’s an example showing some of the features of the fixture:

def test_simple_server(simple_http_server):
    # Files in the document_root are accessable by HTTP
    hello = simple_http_server.document_root / 'hello.txt'
    hello.write_text('Hello World!')
    response = simple_http_server.get('/hello.txt')
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.text == 'Hello World!'

def test_xvfb(xvfb_server):
    assert xvfb_server.display

Server Framework

All the included fixtures and others in this suite of plugins are built on an extensible TCP server running framework, and as such many of them share various properties and methods.

pytest_shutil.workspace.Workspace
  |
  *--base2.TestServerV2
     |
     *--mongo.MongoTestServer
     *--redis.RedisTestServer
     *--rethink.RethinkDBServer
  *--base.TestServer
     |
     *--http.HTTPTestServer
        |
        *--http.SimpleHTTPTestServer
        *--httpd.HTTPDServer
        *--jenkins.JenkinsTestServer
        *--pytest_pyramid.PyramidTestServer

Class Methods

The best way to understand the framework is look at the code, but here’s a quick summary on the class methods that child classes of base.TestServer can override.

Method

Description

pre_setup

This should execute any setup required before starting the server

run_cmd (required)

This should return a list of shell commands needed to start the server

run_stdin

The result of this is passed to the process as stdin

check_server_up (required)

This is called to see if the server is running

post_setup

This should execute any setup required after starting the server

Class Attributes

At a minimum child classes must define run_cmd and check_server_up. There are also some class attributes that can be overridden to modify server behavior:

Attribute

Description

Default

random_port

Start the server on a guaranteed unique random TCP port

True

port_seed

If random_port is false, port number is semi-repeatable and based on a hash of the class name and this seed.

65535

kill_signal

Signal used to kill the server

SIGTERM

kill_retry_delay

Number of seconds to wait between kill retries. Increase this if your server takes a while to die

1

Constructor Arguments

The base class constructor also accepts these arguments:

Argument

Description

port

Explicitly set the port number

hostname

Explicitly set the hostname

env

Dict of the shell environment passed to the server process

cwd

Override the current working directory of the server process
