Testing
In this section we will cover how to run tests and develop them. Make sure Backend/ folder is the root directory when launching the tests. See more on testing principles here
⚙ Previous configuration
❗ Environment variables defined in .env file will affect the execution of tests. See environments for more info.
Default configuration will only need a serverless function path if using SERVERLESS for executing tests. If another architecture is selected you can run tests out of the box locally.
If the app is being executed for running test the file pytest.ini will override ENV_VALUE environment variable with TEST mode. This behaviour triggers the app to load an in-memory database instead of a real one. This can be side stepped by changing the TEST env value in pytest.ini to something like PROD or DEV if you need a real database for testing.
SERVERLESS(deprecated)
A valid path for a serverless function SERVERLESS_FUNCTION_URL is needed in environment variables for proper functioning.
🧪 Run tests
Standar test run
Coverage run
Test run and generate code coverage in folder htmlcov/index.html.
python -m http.server [port] inside htmlcov/ folder to serve an HTTP Server.
Debug run VSCODE
In debug section launch Run tests - Pytest. This will run all the tests and will stop the execution on any provided breakpoints
