This file contains examples of how to write tests using pytest!

Some good practices for writting great Python tests:

Source: https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/engineering/5-pytest-best-practices/

  • Prefer mocker over mock
  • Parametrize the same behavior, have different tests for different behaviors
  • Don’t modify fixture values in other fixtures
  • Prefer responses over mocking outbound HTTP requests
  • Prefer tmpdir over global test artifacts
Classes
  • TestGroup — A class with common parameters, param1 and param2.</>
Functions
  • test_divide_error(a, b, expected) — Check if divide returns correct Exceptions for known entries.</>
  • test_divide_ok(a, b, expected) — Check if divide works for expected entries.</>
class

tests.python_package_example_test.TestGroup()

</>

A class with common parameters, param1 and param2.

Methods
  • fixt() (int) — This fixture will only be available within the scope of TestGroup.</>
  • test_one(param1, param2, fixt) — Run the first test using the fixture.</>
method

fixt()

</>

This fixture will only be available within the scope of TestGroup.

Returns (int)

A common value to be used by multiple tests

method

test_one(param1, param2, fixt)

</>

Run the first test using the fixture.

Parameters
  • param1 (str) — First parameter.
  • param2 (str) — Second parameter.
  • fixt (int) — Value from fixture.
function

tests.python_package_example_test.test_divide_ok(a, b, expected)

</>

Check if divide works for expected entries.

Parameters
  • a (float) — Dividend.
  • b (float) — Divisor.
  • expected (float) — expected result.
function

tests.python_package_example_test.test_divide_error(a, b, expected)

</>
