As our application and code base increased it became necessary to write tests for each functionality. Earlier we had tests only for basic functionalities like creating an event, editing an event, but then it is very important and also beneficial if we have tests for each and every small functionality. Hence we started writing proper tests. We divivded the tests into three folder
All the API related tests were in the above one whereas the basic functionalities were in the second one. The last folder was further divided into three parts
- Admin Tests
- Super-Admin Tests
- Guest Pages
We had to test each and every functionality. For example let us look at the test file for the events. It looks like this:
class TestEvents(OpenEventViewTestCase):
def test_events_list(self):
with app.test_request_context():
url = url_for('events.index_view')
rv = self.app.get(url, follow_redirects=True)

self.assertTrue("Create Event" in rv.data, msg=rv.data)

So this is the test file for the event part. As you can see we have tests for each and every small functionality
- test_events_list : Tests the list of events
- test_events_create: Tests whether the event creation page is displayed
- test_events_create_post: Tests whether the event is created on doing a POST
- test_events_create_post_publish : Tests whether the event is published on doing a POST through Publish button
- test_events_copy: Tests whether the event is copied properly or not
Thus each functionality related to an event is tested properly. Similarly not just for events but also for the other services like sessions:

We see that there are tests for each functionality of the sessions. However these tests were simple to write. However there was problem in one aspect of writing tests. In the Event creation wizard there are steps where the sponsors, tracks, rooms are dynamically added to the event. How then should we test them. I wrote the test for the creation of sponsors in step -2
def test_events_create_post(self):
with app.test_request_context():
custom_forms = ObjectMother.get_custom_form()
url = url_for('events.create_view')
data = POST_EVENT_DATA.copy()
del data['copyright']
data['sponsors[name]'] = ['Sponsor 1', 'Sponsor 2']
data['sponsors[type]'] = ['Gold', 'Silver']
data['sponsors[url]'] = ["", ""]
data['sponsors[description]'] = ["", ""]
data['sponsors[level]'] = ["", ""]
data['start_date'] = '07/04/2016'
data['start_time'] = '19:00'
data['end_date'] = '07/04/2016'
data['end_time'] = '22:00'
data['custom_form[name]'] = ['session_form', 'speaker_form']
data['custom_form[value]'] = [custom_forms.session_form, custom_forms.speaker_form]
data = ImmutableMultiDict(data)
rv = self.app.post(url, follow_redirects=True, buffered=True, content_type='multipart/form-data',
data=data)
self.assertTrue(POST_EVENT_DATA['name'] in rv.data, msg=rv.data)
rv2 = self.app.get(url_for('events.details_view', event_id=1))
self.assertTrue(data['sponsors[name]'] in rv2.data, msg=rv2.data)
Here on importing the data dict I dynamically add two sponsors to the dict. After that I convert the dict to an Immutablemulti-dict so that the multiple sponsors can be displayed. Then I pass this dict to the event creation view via a POST request and check whether the two sponsors are present in the details page or not.
Thus our test system is developed and improving. Still as we develop more functionalities we will write more tests 🙂
Copy the contents from here and paste it after your HTML code.
The documentation generated by this was less informative and lacked the referrals to other classes and headers. The societyserver project was developed long back but the autodoc utility was introduced in the later versions of pike. As a result the source files lacked the autodoc tags which are required to generate a well informative documentation with bindings to other files.
