Testing in PTB
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
PTB uses `pytest`_ for testing. To run the tests, you need to
|
|
have pytest installed along with a few other dependencies. You can find the list of dependencies
|
|
in the ``requirements-dev.txt`` file in the root of the repository.
|
|
|
|
Running tests
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
To run the entire test suite, you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pytest
|
|
|
|
This will run all the tests, including the ones which make a request to the Telegram servers, which
|
|
may take a long time (total > 13 mins). To run only the tests that don't require a connection, you
|
|
can run the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pytest -m no_req
|
|
|
|
Or alternatively, you can run the following command to run only the tests that require a connection:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pytest -m req
|
|
|
|
To further speed up the tests, you can run them in parallel using the ``-n`` flag (requires `pytest-xdist`_). But beware that
|
|
this will use multiple CPU cores on your machine. The ``--dist`` flag is used to specify how the
|
|
tests will be distributed across the cores. The ``loadgroup`` option is used to distribute the tests
|
|
such that tests marked with ``@pytest.mark.xdist_group("name")`` are run on the same core — important if you want avoid race conditions in some tests:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pytest -n auto --dist=loadgroup
|
|
|
|
This will result in a significant speedup, but may cause some tests to fail. If you want to run
|
|
the failed tests in isolation, you can use the ``--lf`` flag:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pytest --lf
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing tests
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
PTB has a separate test file for every file in the ``telegram.*`` namespace. Further, the tests for
|
|
the ``telegram`` module are split into two classes, based on whether the test methods in them make a
|
|
request or not. When writing tests, make sure to split them into these two classes, and make sure
|
|
to name the test class as: ``TestXXXWithoutRequest`` for tests that don't make a request, and ``TestXXXWithRequest`` for tests that do.
|
|
|
|
Writing tests is a creative process; allowing you to design your test however you'd like, but there
|
|
are a few conventions that you should follow:
|
|
|
|
- Each new test class needs a ``test_slot_behaviour``, ``test_to_dict``, ``test_de_json`` and
|
|
``test_equality`` (in most cases).
|
|
|
|
- Make use of pytest's fixtures and parametrize wherever possible. Having knowledge of pytest's
|
|
tooling can help you as well. You can look at the existing tests for examples and inspiration.
|
|
|
|
- New fixtures should go into ``conftest.py``. New auxiliary functions and classes, used either directly in the tests or in the fixtures, should go into the ``tests/auxil`` directory.
|
|
|
|
If you have made some API changes, you may want to run ``test_official`` to validate that the changes are
|
|
complete and correct. To run it, export an environment variable first:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ export TEST_OFFICIAL=true
|
|
|
|
and then run ``pytest tests/test_official.py``. Note: You need py 3.10+ to run this test.
|
|
|
|
We also have another marker, ``@pytest.mark.dev``, which you can add to tests that you want to run selectively.
|
|
Use as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pytest -m dev
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bots used in tests
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
If you run the tests locally, the test setup will use one of the two public bots available. Which
|
|
bot of the two gets chosen for the test session is random. Whereas when the tests on the
|
|
Github Actions CI are run, the test setup allocates a different, but same bot is for every combination of Python version and
|
|
OS. The operating systems and Python versions the CI runs the tests on can be viewed in the `corresponding workflow`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the `PTB dev
|
|
group`_.
