Testing

Testing utilities for Bio2BEL.

This module has tools for quickly writing unit tests with unittest that involve the usage of a mock data with a Bio2BEL manager.

class bio2bel.testing.TemporaryConnectionMethodMixin(methodName='runTest')

Creates a unittest.TestCase that has a persistent file for use with SQLite during testing.

Create an instance of the class that will use the named test method when executed. Raises a ValueError if the instance does not have a method with the specified name.

setUp()

Create a temporary file to use as a persistent database throughout tests in this class.

tearDown()

Close the connection to the database and removes the files created for it.

class bio2bel.testing.TemporaryConnectionMixin(methodName='runTest')

Creates a unittest.TestCase that has a persistent file for use with SQLite during testing.

Create an instance of the class that will use the named test method when executed. Raises a ValueError if the instance does not have a method with the specified name.

classmethod setUpClass()

Create a temporary file to use as a persistent database throughout tests in this class.

Subclasses of TemporaryCacheClsMixin can extend TemporaryCacheClsMixin.setUpClass() to populate the database.

classmethod tearDownClass()

Close the connection to the database and removes the files created for it.

class bio2bel.testing.MockConnectionMixin(methodName='runTest')

Allows for testing with a consistent connection without changing the configuration.

Create an instance of the class that will use the named test method when executed. Raises a ValueError if the instance does not have a method with the specified name.

setUp()

Set up the test with a mock connection string.

Add two class-level variables: mock_global_connection and mock_module_connection that can be used as context managers to mock the bio2bel connection getter functions.

class bio2bel.testing.AbstractTemporaryCacheMethodMixin(methodName='runTest')

Allows for testing with a consistent connection and creation of a manager class wrapping that connection.

Requires the class variable Manager to be overriden with the class corresponding to the manager to be used that is a subclass of bio2bel.AbstractManager.

Create an instance of the class that will use the named test method when executed. Raises a ValueError if the instance does not have a method with the specified name.

setUp()

Set up the class with the given manager and allows an optional populate hook to be overridden.

tearDown()

Close the connection in the manager and deletes the temporary database.

populate()

Populate the database.

This stub should be overridden.

Return type

None

class bio2bel.testing.AbstractTemporaryCacheClassMixin(methodName='runTest')

Allows for testing with a consistent connection and creation of a manager class wrapping that connection.

Requires the class variable Manager to be overriden with the class corresponding to the manager to be used that is a subclass of bio2bel.AbstractManager.

Create an instance of the class that will use the named test method when executed. Raises a ValueError if the instance does not have a method with the specified name.

classmethod setUpClass()

Set up the class with the given manager and allows an optional populate hook to be overridden.

classmethod tearDownClass()

Close the connection in the manager and deletes the temporary database.

classmethod populate()

Populate the database.

This stub should be overridden.

bio2bel.testing.make_temporary_cache_class_mixin(manager_cls)

Build a testing class that has a Bio2BEL manager instance ready to go.

Return type

Type[AbstractTemporaryCacheClassMixin]
