pytest-tiny-api-client

An official companion pytest plugin for the tiny-api-client library.

from my_api import MyClient

def test_my_client(api_call):
    api_call.return_value = {"name": "Peter"}
    user = MyClient().find_user(user_id=...)
    assert user.name == "Peter"

One of the problems with testing functions that have been decorated is that decoration happens at import time, which means the decorators cannot be patched within each test without having to re-import the modules.

This plugin will patch these decorators at import time, and allow you to patch the implementation during testing. To make this easier, this plugin exposes the api_call fixture, which is a unittest.mock.Mock object which can be used to test your endpoint methods with fake data.

For more details on how to use this fixture, check the documentation.
