Pytest fixtures for Invenio.
The package offers a number of features to help test Invenio based applications:
- Less boilerplate: Using the fixtures you can keep your
conftest.py
short and focused. - Database re-use: database tests are running inside a transaction which is rolled back after the test.
- End-to-end testing: Selenium tests can easily be switched on/off, and in case of test failures a screenshot is taken (with possibility to output in the console in base64-encoding - useful on e.g. TravisCI).
- Application configuration for testing (e.g. disable CSRF protection in forms and HTTPS requirement).
- JSON decoding support in Flask test client for easier API testing.
- Batteries included: further fixtures help with e.g. mail sending and CLI tests.
