Testing¶
Facilitate testing of code which uses staticconf.
- class staticconf.testing.MockConfiguration(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
A context manager which replaces the configuration namespace while inside the context. When the context exits the old configuration values will be restored to that namespace.
import staticconf.testing config = { ... } with staticconf.testing.MockConfiguration(config, namespace='special'): # Run your tests. ...
- Parameters
namespace – the namespace to patch
flatten – if True the configuration will be flattened (default True)
args – passed directly to the constructor of
dict
and used as configuration datakwargs – passed directly to the constructor of
dict
and used as configuration data
- class staticconf.testing.PatchConfiguration(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
A context manager which updates the configuration namespace while inside the context. When the context exits the old configuration values will be restored to that namespace.
Unlike MockConfiguration which completely replaces the configuration with the new one, this class instead only updates the keys in the configuration which are passed to it. It preserves all previous values that weren’t updated.
import staticconf.testing config = { ... } with staticconf.testing.PatchConfiguration(config, namespace='special'): # Run your tests. ...
The arguments are identical to MockConfiguration.
