Simplifies launching and terminating of web development servers from BDD and functional tests.

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/peterhudec/liveandletdie.svg?branch=master

Live and Let Die simplifies launching and terminating of web development servers from BDD or functional tests. I have created it for functional testing of the Authomatic package.

The package Currently supports Google App engine, Django, Flask and wsgiref.simple_server. Support for other frameworks will hopefully be added in future.

Usage

You first need to make instance of one of the framework classes.

Django

import liveandletdie

# Django
app = liveandletdie.Django('path/to/django/project/',
                           host='0.0.0.0',
                           port=5555)

Google App Engine

import liveandletdie

app = liveandletdie.GAE('path/to/dev_appserver.py',
                        'path/to/gae/app/dir', # containing app.yaml file
                        host='0.0.0.0',
                        port=5555)

Flask

By Flask you must wrap the WSGI application in liveandletdie.Flask.wrap(app).

If you set the ssl keyword argument to True, the app will be run with ssl_context="adhoc" and the schema of the self.check_url will be "https".

# flask/app/main.py
from flask import Flask

DEBUG = True
SECRET_KEY = 'development key'
USERNAME = 'admin'
PASSWORD = 'default'

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return 'Hello World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':

    # This does nothing unless you run this module with --liveandletdie flag.
    import liveandletdie
    liveandletdie.Flask.wrap(app)

    app.run()
import liveandletdie

app = liveandletdie.Flask('path/to/flask/app/main.py',
                          host='0.0.0.0',
                          port=5555)

Pyramid (wsgiref.simple_server)

By wsgiref.simple_server you must wrap the WSGI application in liveandletdie.WsgirefSimpleServer.wrap(app).

If you set the ssl keyword argument to True, the app will be run with a self-signed certificate, and the schema of the self.check_url will be "https".

# pyramid/app/main.py
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid.response import Response


def home(request):
    return Response('Hello World!')


if __name__ == '__main__':

    config = Configurator()
    config.add_route('home', '/')
    config.add_view(home, route_name='home')
    app = config.make_wsgi_app()

    # This does nothing unless you run this module with --liveandletdie flag.
    import liveandletdie
    liveandletdie.WsgirefSimpleServer.wrap(app)

    server = make_server('127.0.0.1', 8080, app)
    server.serve_forever()
import liveandletdie

app = liveandletdie.Flask('path/to/pyramid/app/main.py',
                          host='0.0.0.0',
                          port=5555)

Using the App instance

The interface is the same for all of the supported frameworks.

# Start the app.
# If kill_port is True,
# it will kill any process listening on port 5555
process = app.live(kill_port=True)

# You can check whether it is running
is_running = app.check()

# Stop it
app.die()

Simple UnitTest example: https://github.com/peterhudec/liveandletdie/blob/master/test_examples/unittest_example/tests.py

Simple PyTest example: https://github.com/peterhudec/liveandletdie/blob/master/test_examples/pytest_example/tests.py

Simple Lettuce example: https://github.com/peterhudec/liveandletdie/blob/master/test_examples/lettuce_example/tests.py

Debugging

If an app refuses to start on the app.live() call, it throws a LiveAndLetDieError with a message:

Flask server https://127.0.0.1:5555 didn't start in specified timeout 10.0 seconds!
command: python sample_apps/flask/main.py --liveandletdie 127.0.0.1:5555

To find out more about why the app didn’t start run the command provided in the error message manually:

$ python sample_apps/flask/main.py --liveandletdie 127.0.0.1:5555

Developers

Clone:

$ git clone https://github.com/peterhudec/liveandletdie.git

Bootstrap the development environment. This will create the ./venv virtual environment in the project root.

$ sh bootstrap.sh

Run tests:

$ sh run-all.sh

Or bootstrap and run tests in one step:

$ sh bootstrap-and-test.sh

Enjoy!
