pytestponyorm 0.3.3

PonyORM in Pytest

Plugin for use Pony ORM in Pytest.
This Pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot’s Cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.

Features

Access Database instance (db) via ponydb fixture
Mark tests to auto allow use of pony.orm.db_session
Database is by default cleared after each test
Database reset can be cancelled for test/class/module



Requirements
Tested from Pony ORM >= ‘0.7.3’ and python : 3.5, 3.6


Installation
You can install “pytest-ponyorm” via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install pytest-ponyorm
or
$ pipenv install -d pytest-ponyorm


Usage

Warning
By default, database is cleared after each test. You must never use it in a production environment. This plugin doesn’t change the database config.It’s you’job to create the testing environment and change database params.

First, configure PONY_DB in pytest.ini. PonyORM main Database instance module location must be specified in pytest.ini to make it work : for example if db is in /path/models/main.py, you must configure like this :
[pytest]
PONY_DB=path.models.main
Then just apply the pony marker :
# models.py

db = Database()

# test.py

@pytest.mark.pony
def my_test(ponydb):
new_mod = ponydb.Mymodel(name="me",...)
You can mark a class or function with @pytest.mark.pony or the whole module with pytestmark = pytest.mark.pony
The marker pony takes one argument : reset_db, default is True. In this case the marked test doesn’t reset the database at ending.
# test.py
pytestmark = pytest.mark.pony # marks all tests of the module

def test1:
pass

def test2:
pass

@pytest.mark.pony(reset_db=False)
def test 3:
pass

# test3 will use database in the state that test2 left it.


About Reseting Database:
Test database tables are dropped/recreate before the test SESSION.
Initialy this plugin did drop/recreate table for each test. Due to perfomance reason, this has changed. Now tables are cleared but not dropped.
Sql sequences like “auto PrimaryKey” will also be reset but actually, it’s only supported for PostgreSQL and Sqlite. For other databases, Primarykey might not start at 1 for each test. This has to be considered when writing tests.


About Fixtures :
Fixtures should not use db_session decorator or context manager. Each test is automaticaly run inside a db_session and each operation inside fixtures will be commited at test start.
