Test WSGI applications
Project description
Flea is a library that helps you write functional tests for WSGI applications.
Flea uses CSS selectors and XPath to give you a simple but powerful tool to navigate and test the HTML responses generated by your WSGI web applications. Here’s an example of how easy it is to test a WSGI application:
>>> r = TestAgent(my_wsgi_app).get('/')
>>> print r.body
<html>
<body>
<a href="/sign-in">sign in</a>
</body>
</html>
>>> r = r.click('sign in')
>>> r = r("form#login-form").fill(
... username = 'root',
... password = 'secret',
... ).submit()
>>> assert 'login successful' in r.body
Changes
Version 7.3.4
Updated setup.py to require cssselect
Version 7.3.3
Included logging facility to allow easy tracing of calls to the application under test
Added a flea.testing WSGI environ key so that the AUT can tell when it is running in a test environment
Fixed a bug in post_multipart that caused an error when passing a data dict
Version 7.3.2
Fixed bug in fill method, which was not clearing checkbox elements
Version 7.3.1
Fixed bug in TestAgent.follow
Version 7.3.0
New API for form filling, with each control type having a fill method. The value attribute is no longer overloaded.
You can now traverse the DOM by calling the TestAgent object directly with either a CSS selector or XPath expression.
TestAgent.click() now takes an argument that selects links by their textual content, eg agent.click('view results'). If you want the old behaviour, you need to pass a second argument, eg agent.click('//a[.="view results"]', 'xpath').
Version 7.2.1
- The value property now does the right thing with respect to checkbox and
radio groups. For checkbox groups, .value will get/set a list of values corresponding to the selected checkboxes. For radio buttons, .value will get/set the selected radio button.
Fixed error following links containing a fragment identifier
Version 7.2.0
Added .reload and .new_session methods to TestAgent
Version 7.1.1
Fixed check_status argument not being accepted in get, post, click, submit etc methods
Version 7.1.0
Added .fill - fill multiple form fields in a single call.
Added .show - show the current response in a web browser
- Added .serve - start an HTTP server for the the application under test and
open a browser at the current page
- Added check for HTTP status success or redirect codes (2xx or 3xx),
anything else raises an AssertionError by default
Changed default behaviour to follow HTTP redirects
Changed version numbering scheme to <major>.<minor>
Version 7
Fixed error when accessing the ‘checked’ property of an input box
- Prevented raising of ValueError on non-matching xpaths when accessed by
.find() (__getitem__ will however still raise an error).
Version 6
Requires pesto 16 or higher
Version 5
Updated setup.py for compatibility with pesto==15
Version 4
Added support for file upload fields
Allow TestAgent.get/post etc to take a relative URI as an argument
Version 3
Updated setup.py for compatibility with pesto==14
Version 2
- EXSLT regular expression namespace is bound to re prefix by default,
allowing regexps in xpath expressions.
Bug fixes for form element handling
