DevPI server fixture for py.test

Project description

# Py.test DevPi Server Fixture

DevPi server fixture for ``py.test``. The server is session-scoped by default
and run in a subprocess and temp dir to cleanup when it's done.

After the server has started up it will create a single user with a password,
and an index for that user. It then activates that index and provides a
handle to the ``devpi-client`` API so you can manipulate the server in your tests.

## Installation

Install using your favourite package manager:

```bash
pip install pytest-devpi-server
# or..
easy_install pytest-devpi-server
```

Enable the fixture explicitly in your tests or conftest.py (not required when using setuptools entry points):

```python
pytest_plugins = ['pytest_devpi_server']
```

## Example

Here's a noddy test case showing the main functionality:

```python
def test_devpi_server(devpi_server):
# This is the client API for the server that's bound directly to the 'devpi' command-line tool.
# Here we list the available indexes
print(devpi_server.api('use', '-l'))

# Create and use another index
devpi_server.api('index', '-c', 'myindex')
devpi_server.api('index', 'use', 'myindex')

# Upload a package
import os
os.chdir('/path/to/my/setup/dot/py')
devpi_server.api('upload')

# Get some json data
import json
res = devpi_server.api('getjson', '/user/myindex')
assert json.loads(res)['result']['projects'] == ['my-package-name']

```

## `DevpiServer` class

Using this with the default `devpi_server` py.test fixture is good enough for a lot of
use-cases however you may wish to have more fine-grained control about the server configuration.

To do this you can use the underlying server class directly - this is an implenentation of the
`pytest-server-fixture` framework and as such acts as a context manager:

```python
import json
from pytest_devpi_server import DevpiServer

def test_custom_server():
with DevPiServer(
# You can specify you own initial user and index
user='bob',
password='secret',
index='myindex',

# You can provide a zip file that contains the initial server database,
# this is useful to pre-load any required packages for a test run
data='/path/to/data.zip'
) as server:

assert not server.dead
res = server.api('getjson', '/bob/myindex')
assert 'pre-loaded-package' in json.loads(res)['result']['projects']

# Server should now be dead
assert server.dead
```
