README
Networktest
===========
A library to test and enforce testing rules for Python applications that make network requests.
Installation
============
.. code-block:: bash
pip install networktest
Blocking network requests
=========================
networktest provides a context manager NetworkBlocker that can be used to prevent tests or an application from making network requests.
.. code-block:: python
import urllib.request
from networktest import NetworkBlocker
with NetworkBlocker():
# A NetworkBlockException will be raised
urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1').read()
In some types of tests you may want to allow certain types of requests but not others. When testing an API you may want to allow tests to access that API's database but not make requests to another API.
.. code-block:: python
import urllib.request
from networktest import NetworkBlocker
from my_database import Database
with NetworkBlocker(allowed_packages=NetworkBlocker.AllowablePackages.DATASTORE):
# This is fine
Database.query('SELECT 1')
# A NetworkBlockException will be raised
urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1').read()
If you're in the process of migrating your tests to mock requests you may want to use NetworkBlocker's warning mode. This mode will allow requests but display a warning.
.. code-block:: python
import urllib.request
from networktest import NetworkBlocker
with NetworkBlocker(mode=NetworkBlocker.Modes.WARNING):
# This will be allowed but a warning will be displayed
urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1').read()
TestCase Support
----------------
Some TestCases are provided that will apply NetworkBlocker to all tests in that case with some default settings.
.. code-block:: python
import urllib.request
from my_database import Database
from networktest import NetworkBlockedTest, NetworkLimitedTest
class MyTest(NetworkBlockedTest):
def test_blocker(self):
# A NetworkBlockException will be raised
urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1').read()
class MyOtherTest(NetworkLimitedTest):
def test_blocker(self):
# This is fine
Database.query('SELECT 1')
# A NetworkBlockException will be raised
urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1').read()
pytest Support
--------------
pytest markers networkblocked and networklimited are available to apply NetworkBlocker to tests. These may be applied to modules, classes, methods or any other way pytest markers are supported.
.. code-block:: python
from pytest import mark
@mark.networkblocked
def test_blocked(self):
# A NetworkBlockException will be raised
urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1').read()
@mark.networklimited
def test_limited(self):
# This is fine
Database.query('SELECT 1')
# A NetworkBlockException will be raised
urllib.request.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1').read()
NetworkBlocker may be applied to an entire directory by adding an autouse fixture to a conftest.py file in that directory.
.. code-block:: python
@pytest.fixture(scope='module', autouse=True)
def networkblocker():
with NetworkBlocker():
yield
Mocking API requests
====================
HttpApiMock is provided to help with mocking API requests in unit and functional tests.
.. code-block:: python
import urllib.request
from networktest.mock import HttpApiMock
class MyApiMock(HttpApiMock):
hostnames = [
'my-api'
]
endpoints = [
HttpApiMockEndpoint(
operation_id='example',
match_pattern=b'^GET /example/(?P.*?)/',
response=lambda groups: (418, {
'id': groups['example_id'],
})
)
]
def test_my_api():
with MyApiMock() as mock_api:
response = urllib.request.urlopen('http://my-api/')
response.read()
# Requests which do not have a matched endpoint return a 200 response code by default
assert response.getcode() == 200
try:
# This request matches the 'example' endpoint defined in MyApiMock
urllib.request.urlopen('http://my-api/example/1234/').read()
except urllib.error.HTTPError as e:
# The response is the one defined for the 'example' endpoint
assert e.code == 418
assert e.read() == b'{"id": "1234"}'
# It's possible to change the default responses inside of a test
# In most tests it would make sense to apply MyApiMock to all tests of a certain type
# and only explictly use MyApiMock when doing something like this.
mock_api.example.response = lambda groups: (204, None)
response = urllib.request.urlopen('http://my-api/')
response.read()
assert response.getcode() == 204
Integration tests
=================
HttpApiMock may also be used to create assertions for integration tests without preventing API requests from being made.
.. code-block:: python
import urllib.request
from networktest.mock import HttpApiMock
class MyApiMock(HttpApiMock):
hostnames = [
'my-api'
]
endpoints = [
HttpApiMockEndpoint(
operation_id='example',
match_pattern=b'^GET /example/(?P.*?)/',
response=lambda groups: (204, None)
)
]
def test_my_api():
with MyApiMock(mode=MyApiMock.Modes.WATCH) as mock_api:
urllib.request.urlopen('http://my-api/example/1234/').read()
mock_api.example.request_mock.assert_called_once()
