testing.postgresql automatically setups a postgresql instance in a temporary directory, and destroys it after testing.

Use pip:
$ pip install testing.postgresql
And testing.postgresql requires PostgreSQL server in your PATH.
Create PostgreSQL instance using testing.postgresql.Postgresql:
import testing.postgresql
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
# Lanuch new PostgreSQL server
with testing.postgresql.Postgresql() as postgresql:
# connect to PostgreSQL
engine = create_engine(postgresql.url())
# if you use postgresql or other drivers:
# import psycopg2
# db = psycopg2.connect(**postgresql.dsn())
#
# do any tests using PostgreSQL...
#
# PostgreSQL server is terminated here
testing.postgresql.Postgresql executes initdb and postgres on instantiation.
On deleting Postgresql object, it terminates PostgreSQL instance and removes temporary directory.
If you want a database including tables and any fixtures for your apps,
use copy_data_from keyword:
# uses a copy of specified data directory of PostgreSQL. postgresql = testing.postgresql.Postgresql(copy_data_from='/path/to/your/database')
For example, you can setup new PostgreSQL server for each testcases on setUp() method:
import unittest
import testing.postgresql
class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.postgresql = testing.postgresql.Postgresql()
def tearDown(self):
self.postgresql.stop()
testing.postgresql.Postgresql invokes initdb command on every instantiation.
That is very simple. But, in many cases, it is very waste that generating brandnew database for each testcase.
To optimize the behavior, use testing.postgresql.PostgresqlFactory.
The factory class is able to cache the generated database beyond the testcases,
and it reduces the number of invocation of initdb command:
import unittest
import testing.postgresql
# Generate Postgresql class which shares the generated database
Postgresql = testing.postgresql.PostgresqlFactory(cache_initialized_db=True)
def tearDownModule(self):
# clear cached database at end of tests
Postgresql.clear_cache()
class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
# Use the generated Postgresql class instead of testing.postgresql.Postgresql
self.postgresql = Postgresql()
def tearDown(self):
self.postgresql.stop()
If you want to insert fixtures to the cached database, use initdb_handler option:
# create initial data on create as fixtures into the database
def handler(postgresql):
conn = psycopg2.connect(**postgresql.dsn())
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE hello(id int, value varchar(256))")
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO hello values(1, 'hello'), (2, 'ciao')")
cursor.close()
conn.commit()
conn.close()
# Use `handler()` on initialize database
Postgresql = testing.postgresql.PostgresqlFactory(cache_initialized_db=True,
on_initialized=handler)
