Testing advise

[Lele Gaifax]

Hi all,

I'm used to have something like the following in my tests setup:

https://gitlab.com/metapensiero/SoL/-/blob/master/tests/server/conftest.py#L45

that allows me to use the route name in my tests instead of the view URL,
like:

https://gitlab.com/metapensiero/SoL/-/blob/master/tests/server/test_data.py#L15

I wonder if I'm missing some existing similar facility, of if instead that
approach could be suggested in the documentation, say here

https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/narr/testing.html#creating-functional-tests

What do you think?

Thanks&bye, lele.

The "recommended" approach for doing this would be to create a DummyRequest and then use its route_url, etc methods. This will allow you to use Pyramid's actual url generation apis instead of re-implementing them yourself, as well as avoiding needing to use the private route mapper.

req = DummyRequest()
req.route_url(...)

It's natural to use the DummyRequest as well because Pyramid's url generation facilities are always relative to the properties of a WSGI request like scheme, host, script_name, etc.

That being said your fixtures look great.

Oh, thank you! I issued PR#293: unfortunately I was not able to verify the
change on my local machine this morning, but will do as time permits, if
there's something wrong with it.

ciao, lele.

Thank you Michael, I will surely explore that way.

ciao, lele.
