drf-api-action

Step 3: write your tests

e.g: our ViewSet is called DummyViewSetFixture

import pytest
from tests.test_server.test_app.models import DummyModel
from tests.test_server.test_app.views import DummyViewSetFixture


@pytest.mark.api_action(view_set_class=DummyViewSetFixture)
def test_call_as_api_fixture(db, api_action):
  dummy_model = DummyModel()
  dummy_model.dummy_int = 1
  dummy_model.save()
  res = api_action.api_dummy(pk=1)
  assert res["dummy_int"] == 1

Here as an example, the real exception and trace will be thrown, make it easy to understand what the issue is:

import pytest
from tests.test_server.test_app.views import DummyViewSetFixture


@pytest.mark.api_action(view_set_class=DummyViewSetFixture)
def test_dummy(db, api_action):
  result = api_action.dummy(pk='bbb')
  assert result['dummy_int'] == 1

tests/functionality_tests/test_as_api.py:11 (test_call_as_api)
self = <django.db.models.fields.BigAutoField: id>, value = 'bb'

    def get_prep_value(self, value):
        value = super().get_prep_value(value)
        if value is None:
            return None
        try:
>           return int(value)
E           ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'bb'

../venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py:2053: ValueError

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

queryset = <QuerySet [<DummyModel: DummyModel object (1)>]>, filter_args = ()
filter_kwargs = {'pk': 'bb'}

    def get_object_or_404(queryset, *filter_args, **filter_kwargs):
        """
        Same as Django's standard shortcut, but make sure to also raise 404
        if the filter_kwargs don't match the required types.
        """
        try:
>           return _get_object_or_404(queryset, *filter_args, **filter_kwargs)

../venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/rest_framework/generics.py:19:

Call endpoints with pagination:

@pytest.mark.api_action(view_set_class=DummyAPIViewSet)
def test_pagination_data(db, api_action):
    for i in range(1, 3):
        dummy_model = DummyModel()
        dummy_model.dummy_int = 1
        dummy_model.save()

    response = api_action.by_dummy_int(dummy_int=1, page=1)

    obj = response['results'][0]
    assert obj['dummy_int'] == 1

    assert extract_page_number(response['next']) == 2

    response = api_action.by_dummy_int(dummy_int=1, page=2)
    assert extract_page_number(response['previous']) == 1
    assert extract_page_number(response['next']) is None

Package Testing

The drf-api-action library includes tests to ensure the functionality works as expected. To run the tests run pytest:

pytest

The tests will be executed, and the results will be displayed in the console.
