Test suite¶

Running tests¶

Oscar uses pytest to run the tests, which can be invoked using:

$ ./runtests.py

You can run a subset of the tests by passing a path:

$ ./runtests.py tests/unit/offer/availability_tests.py

To run an individual test class, use:

$ ./runtests.py tests/unit/offer/availability_tests.py::TestASuspendedOffer

(Note the ‘::’.)

To run an individual test, use:

$ ./runtests.py tests/unit/offer/availability_tests.py::TestASuspendedOffer::test_is_unavailable

You can also run tests which match an expression via:

$ ./runtests.py tests/unit/offer/availability_tests.py -k is_unavailable

Testing against different setups¶

To run all tests against multiple versions of Django and Python, use detox:

$ detox

You need to have all Python interpreters to test against installed on your system. All other requirements are downloaded automatically. detox is a wrapper around tox, creating the environments and running the tests in parallel. This greatly speeds up the process.

Kinds of tests¶

Tests are split into 3 folders:

unit - These are for tests that exercise a single unit of functionality, like a single model. Ideally, these should not write to the database at all - all operations should be in memory.
integration - These are for tests that exercise a collection or chain of units, like testing a template tag.
functional - These should be as close to “end-to-end” as possible. Most of these tests should use WebTest to simulate the behaviour of a user browsing the site.

Naming tests¶

When running a subset of tests, Oscar uses the spec plugin. It is a good practice to name your test cases and methods so that the spec output reads well. For example:

$ py.test tests/integration/catalogue/product_tests.py --spec
