how can I run pytest on Flask routes?
I'm trying to implement pytest for one of my Python Flask projects.
The application is instanciated like this in appname.py
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_pyfile("settings.cfg")
jinja_partials.register_extensions(app)
app.wsgi_app = ProxyFix(app.wsgi_app, x_for=1, x_proto=1, x_host=1, x_prefix=1)
babel = Babel(app, locale_selector=get_locale)
return app
test_app.py contains, among other test functions this:
import pytest
from appname import *
@pytest.fixture(scope='module')
def client():
app = create_app()
app.config.update({
"TESTING": True,
})
with app.app_context():
with app.test_client() as client:
yield client
def test_index(client):
response = client.get("/")
assert response.status_code == 200
def test_search(client):
response = client.get("/search", query_string={"search": "someone"})
assert response.status_code == 200
print(response)
assert False
Calling app functions directly from the test functions works fine and I can assert the expected results. But I have trouble testing the responses from the routes of the Flask app with the client.get() function.
All I get is a 404 response for every route.
What am I missing?
