A Pytest Plugin providing the get_object fixture.

1. pytest_object_getter python package, hosted on pypi.org
   • Installable with pip
   • get_object fixture available to your tests
     1. Dynamically import an object from a module
     2. Optionally mock any object that is present in the module's namespace
     3. Construct the mock object at runtime
     4. Alter the bahaviour of an object at runtime
2. Tested against multiple platforms and python versions
   • platforms: Ubuntu, MacOS
   • python: 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10

For more, see the CI Pipeline and the Test workflow, defined in test.yaml.

You can read more on pytest and fixtures in pytest latest documentation.

You need to have Python installed.

Using pip is the approved way for installing pytest_object_getter.

python3 -m pip install pytest_object_getter

After installation the get_object pytest fixture should be available in your tests.

Let's see how to write a test and use the 'get_object' fixture to mock the requests.get method to avoid actual network communication:

python3 -m pip install ask-pypi

import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def mock_response():
    def init(self, package_name: str):
        self.status_code = 200 if package_name == 'existing-package' else 404
    return type('MockResponse', (), {
        '__init__': init
    })

@pytest.fixture
def create_mock_requests(mock_response):
    def _create_mock_requests():
        def mock_get(*args, **kwargs):
            package_name = args[0].split('/')[-1]
            return mock_response(package_name)
        return type('MockRequests', (), {
            'get': mock_get,
        })
    return _create_mock_requests

def test_fixture(get_object, create_mock_requests):

    from ask_pypi import is_pypi_project

    assert is_pypi_project('numpy') == True
    assert is_pypi_project('pandas') == True
    assert is_pypi_project('existing-package') == False

    get_object('is_project', 'ask_pypi.pypi_project',
        overrides={'requests': lambda: create_mock_requests()})

    assert is_pypi_project('existing-package') == True

    assert is_pypi_project('numpy') == False
    assert is_pypi_project('pandas') == False
    assert is_pypi_project('so-magic') == False
