All about testing
=================
.. warning::
This section of documentation may be outdated.
Kitsune has a fairly comprehensive Python test suite. Changes should
not break tests---only change a test if there is a good reason to
change the expected behavior---and new code should come with tests.
Running the Test Suite
======================
If you followed the steps in :any:`the installation docs
<hacking_howto>`, then you should be all set setup-wise.
To run the tests, you need to do::
./manage.py test
That doesn't provide the most sensible defaults for running the
tests. Here is a good command to alias to something short::
./manage.py test -s --noinput --logging-clear-handlers
The ``-s`` flag is important if you want to be able to drop into PDB from
within tests.
Some other helpful flags are:
``-x``:
Fast fail. Exit immediately on failure. No need to run the whole test suite
if you already know something is broken.
``--pdb``:
Drop into PDB on an uncaught exception. (These show up as ``E`` or errors in
the test results, not ``F`` or failures.)
``--pdb-fail``:
Drop into PDB on a test failure. This usually drops you right at the
assertion.
``--no-skip``:
All SkipTests show up as errors. This is handy when things shouldn't be
skipping silently with reckless abandon.
Running a Subset of Tests
-------------------------
You can run part of the test suite by specifying the apps you want to run,
like::
./manage.py test kitsune/wiki kitsune/search kitsune/kbforums
You can also specify modules::
./manage.py test kitsune.wiki.tests.test_views
You can specify specific tests::
./manage.py test kitsune.wiki.tests.test_views:VersionGroupTests.test_version_groups
See the output of ``./manage.py test --help`` for more arguments.
Running tests without collecting static files
---------------------------------------------
By default the test runner will run ``collectstatic`` to ensure that all the required assets have
been collected to the static folder. If you do not want this default behavior you can run::
REUSE_STATIC=1 ./manage.py test
The Test Database
-----------------
The test suite will create a new database named ``test_%s`` where
``%s`` is whatever value you have for
``settings.DATABASES['default']['NAME']``.
Make sure the user has ``ALL`` on the test database as well. This is
covered in the installation chapter.
When the schema changes, you may need to drop the test database. You
can also run the test suite with ``FORCE_DB`` once to cause Django to
drop and recreate it::
FORCE_DB=1 ./manage.py test -s --noinput --logging-clear-handlers
Writing New Tests
=================
Code should be written so it can be tested, and then there should be
tests for it.
When adding code to an app, tests should be added in that app that
cover the new functionality. All apps have a ``tests`` module where
tests should go. They will be discovered automatically by the test
runner as long as the look like a test.
* If you're expecting ``reverse`` to return locales in the URL, use
``LocalizingClient`` instead of the default client for the
``TestCase`` class.
* We use "modelmakers" instead of fixtures. Models should have
modelmakers defined in the tests module of the Django app. For
example, ``forums.tests.document`` is the modelmaker for
``forums.Models.Document`` class.
Changing Tests
==============
Unless the current behavior, and thus the test that verifies that
behavior is correct, is demonstrably wrong, don't change tests. Tests
may be refactored as long as its clear that the result is the same.
Removing Tests
==============
On those rare, wonderful occasions when we get to remove code, we
should remove the tests for it, as well.
If we liberate some functionality into a new package, the tests for
that functionality should move to that package, too.
JavaScript Tests
================
Frontend JavaScript is currently tested with Mocha_.
Running JavaScript Tests
------------------------
To run tests, make sure you have have the NPM dependencies installed, and
then run::
$ npm run webpack:test
Writing JavaScript Tests
------------------------
Mocha tests are discovered using the pattern
``kitsune/*/static/*/js/tests/**/*.js``. That means that any app can
have a `tests` directory in its JavaScript directory, and the files in
there will all be considered test files. Files that don't define tests
won't cause issues, so it is safe to put testing utilities in these
directories as well.
Here are a few tips for writing tests:
* Any HTML required for your test should be added by the tests or a
``beforeEach`` function in that test suite. React is useful for this.
* You can use `sinon` to mock out parts of libraries or functions under
test. This is useful for testing AJAX.
* The tests run in a Node.js environment. A browser environment can be
simulated using ``jsdom``.
