User:Babbage Linden/Django/Automated Integration Tests

Django has an automated integration test framework that creates test databases, populates them with text fixtures, runs tests and cleans up the test database. The test framework extends the python unit test frame providing a flexible test client that allows tests to be written like this:

import os

from django.test import TestCase

from indra.base import llsd

def llsd_array_contains(array, substring):
    return [elem for elem in array if substring in elem]

class RegionServicesReadTest(TestCase):
    fixtures = [os.path.dirname(__file__) + '/indra.json']

    def test001_get_null_region_id_returns_404(self):
        uri = '/region/42000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000042/'
        response = self.client.get(uri, {}, HTTP_ACCEPT='application/llsd+xml')
        self.failUnlessEqual(response.status_code, 404)

    def test002_get_valid_region_id_returns_200(self):
        uri = '/region/78bc5b1a-f183-45c2-a6d0-2dcec6301e80/'
        response = self.client.get(uri, {}, HTTP_ACCEPT='application/llsd+xml')
        self.failUnlessEqual(response.status_code, 200)

And run like this:

$ python manage.py test
