I have code within a Flask application that uses JSONs in the request, and I can get the JSON object like so: Request = request.get_json() This has been working fine, however I am trying to create unit tests using Python's unittest module and I'm having difficulty finding a way to send a JSON with the request. response=self.app.post('/test_function', data=json.dumps(dict(foo = 'bar'))) This gives me: >>> request.get_data() '{"foo": "bar"}' >>> request.get_json() None Flask seems to have a JSON argument where you can set json=dict(foo='bar') within the post request, but I don't know how to do

I am writing a Pythonic tool which validates the correctness of a certain system. Each validation is written as a Python unittest , and the report looks like: test_exclude_list_not_empty (__main__.TestRepoLists) Assert the the exclude list is not empty ... ok test_include_list_not_empty (__main__.TestRepoLists) Assert the the include list is not empty ... ok test_repo_list_not_empty (__main__.TestRepoLists) Assert the the repo list is not empty ... ok In my opinion, this format is hard to read, especially for non-Pythonists. Is there any report generator that can generate a report in a nice,

What's the best way to write unit tests for code using the Python 3.4 asyncio library? Assume I want to test a TCP client ( SocketConnection ): import asyncio import unittest class TestSocketConnection(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): self.mock_server = MockServer("localhost", 1337) self.socket_connection = SocketConnection("localhost", 1337) @asyncio.coroutine def test_sends_handshake_after_connect(self): yield from self.socket_connection.connect() self.assertTrue(self.mock_server.received_handshake()) When running this test case with the default test runner, the test will always succeed

I'm trying to test a function that takes input from stdin , which I'm currently testing with something like this: cat /usr/share/dict/words | ./spellchecker.py In the name of test automation, is there any way that pyunit can fake input to raw_input() ? Johnsyweb The short answer is to monkey patch raw_input() . There are some good examples in the answer to How to display the redirected stdin in Python? Here is a simple, trivial example using a lambda that throws away the prompt and returns what we want. System Under Test cat ./name_getter.py #!/usr/bin/env python class NameGetter(object): def

I want to understand how to @patch a function from an imported module. This is where I am so far. app/mocking.py: from app.my_module import get_user_name def test_method(): return get_user_name() if __name__ == "__main__": print "Starting Program..." test_method() app/my_module/__init__.py: def get_user_name(): return "Unmocked User" test/mock-test.py: import unittest from app.mocking import test_method def mock_get_user(): return "Mocked This Silly" @patch('app.my_module.get_user_name') class MockingTestTestCase(unittest.TestCase): def test_mock_stubs(self, mock_method): mock_method.return
