0:00 Now there's more tests to write for this application
0:03 of course there are.
0:04 I added a few more, I wrote them earlier
0:07 and just dropped them in for you.
0:09 You've already seen all the three cases that we're going to use
0:11 and it would just be more of the same
0:13 but I want to give you a little bit more to work with.
0:15 So here's our account test that we've been working with
0:17 we've got out vm test, our ViewModels test
0:20 we've got our view test, and now we've got
0:22 our two innovation tests down here at the end
0:25 working with our pytest ficture.
0:26 So nothing changes there, but I just added some more.
0:30 Remember that test for the package details
0:33 in the earlier section? Just in concept.
0:35 So, here it is in code.
0:38 So here is one that, we'll find a successful one.
0:41 We'll simulate it actually existing in
0:43 the database called sqlalchemy
0:45 and we're going to run through it here
0:46 and mock out the database interaction
0:49 but then we're going to get that data and process it here.
0:52 Right, get a response and verify that SQLAlchemy
0:55 is in the data.
0:56 We're also going to do a missing one.
0:58 This is important to test.
0:59 We want to make sure that if for some reason
1:01 we try to get package by id, but it's not there
1:04 we get a status code 404 as opposed to crashing
1:07 or just trying to show something that's not right.
1:10 Over to the ohm test, super simple
1:11 we're just doing integration type tests here.
1:14 On the first one, just making sure that the title's in there
1:18 and then here we're directly calling a function
1:20 so this should help power the Int
1:22 and this should be much more V
1:24 with our naming commission here.
1:25 And this is verifying that the model that we get back
1:28 is what we expected.
1:30 We also have a sitemap test one.
1:32 I'm going to save that for later, but let's look
1:34 at this as well.
1:36 So far what I've been doing
1:37 is saying running the test here
1:39 and it would be nice
1:40 if I could just say run all the tests.
1:42 One way that we can do that as well as configure
1:44 a couple of things to work better, as we'll see
1:46 is create this all test.
1:49 This is very, very analogous to our all models up here.
1:52 In fact, it's basically doing the same thing.
1:55 So it's going to import all the tests into one file
1:57 and then we just point pytest at that
1:59 and that's a simple and easy thing to do.
2:01 So let's go down here and we'll see
2:04 we're just importing star from all the tests.
2:07 And then I pointed our run configuration
2:09 to run that file.
2:12 Okay, so now if we run it you'll see we have
2:14 a bunch more tests that run.
2:16 How cool is that?
2:17 So a bunch of stuff is happening there.
2:19 It's going to be fun to dig into it with you
2:21 but just run it like this.
2:22 This imports of 'em, remember if you add
2:24 a whole new category of tests, so in a file
2:26 be sure to throw it in here as well.
