Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named; start by reviewing the website's existing article structure and the proposed fixture examples in this issue. Done means publishing an article that explains the database-fixture concerns, the dependencies and @value approach, and the trade-offs for existing FactoryBoy usages.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
An article about better test fixtures
dependenciescan turnstoriesbusiness objects into pytest fixtures.- We will write better tests because our database fills up logic does not duplicate in
FactoryBoy. @valuedecorator can be used to return normal results from the factories.
@register
class SubmitCodeFixture(SubmitCode):
name = 'submit_code'
@value
def fixture(submit_code, user, token):
return submit_code(user, token)
user = require('request_code')
token = Faker('uuid')
- profit: Tests coupled with business logic will fail if this logic changes. On the other side, we'll need to change each
FactoryBoyusage in our test suite to mirror actual behavior.
