Tavern

Notes

1. pipenv install --dev tavern[pytest]
2. Create YAML test file in tests directory.
   • test_server.tavern.yaml - all test should be test_{name}.tavern.yaml
3. Pytest
4. Run pytest in top directory - will find tests/ directory
5. Run selected tests - pytest -k fake to run all tests with fake in the name.
6. Minimize debug info - pytest --tb=short
7. Run one test - pytest tests\test_register_service.py::test_random_code_generator
8. Show print output in pytest - pytest -s tests\test
9. Continuous watching changes
   • pipenv install --dev pytest-testmon pytest-watch
   • Pytest Watch
   • Pytest Testmon
10. Tavern
11. Uses a YAML file for test setup.
12. Talks directly to the API
13. Can use pytest to run the test.

    • Be sure to include it in every individual test - every test is individual
