I am trying to mock test an endpoint that gets the time and date. I have viewed several tutorials and python docs, but I am still getting stumped by the mock test. Any help is appreciated greatly
from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for
import json
import urllib.request
import requests
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def welcome():
return "Hello"
@app.route('/<zone>')
def Endpoint(zone):
address = f"http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/{zone}/now"
response = urllib.request.urlopen(address)
result = json.loads(response.read())
time = result['currentDateTime']
return time
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
My attempt.
I think I am still calling the external element.
I want to use a fake JSON string and actually mock with that.
The first test passes when I run it. But I don't think it is a true mock.
#!/usr/bin/python
import unittest
from unittest import TestCase
from unittest.mock import patch, Mock
#name of endpoint program
import question
class TestingMock(TestCase):
@patch('question.Endpoint')
def test_call(self, MockTime):
current = MockTime()
current.posts.return_value = [
{"$id": "1", "currentDateTime": "2020-07-17T12:31-04:00", "utcOffset": "-04:00:00"}
]
response = current.posts()
self.assertIsNotNone(response)
self.assertIsInstance(response[0], dict)
@patch('question.Endpoint')
def test_response(mock_get):
mock_get.return_value.ok = True
respond = question.Endpoint()
assert_is_not_none(respond)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
