Running and writing tests¶
Running the tests¶
You can run the tests with:
./run_tests.py
This will run all the tests.
Note
If you need to adjust the settings, copy test_settings.py
to a
new file (like test_settings_local.py
), edit the file, and specify that
as the value for the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
.
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=test_settings_local ./run_tests.py
This is helpful if you need to change the value of ES_HOSTS
to
match the ip address or port that elasticsearch is listening on.
Writing tests¶
Tests are located in elasticutils/tests/.
We use nose for test utilities and running tests.
ElasticTestCase¶
If you’re testing things in ElasticUtils that require hitting an Elasticsearch cluster, then you should subclass elasticutils.tests.ESTestCase which has code in it for making things easier.
