Running The Test Scripts For Checking the Library Functionality

Overview

This module describes a number of tests, designed to be run under the PyTest harness. Nearly all tests also require the requests library to be installed, and will also require network access.

To enable simple repeat testing of specific failures, the pytest-curl-report plugin is also strongly recommended. This also makes it easier run specific tests outside the test scripts.

All tests in this folder should be follow the standard PyTest rules for test discovery so that running

$ py.test

will run all tests.

Each test is standalone, so that running

$ py.test simple_get.py

inside the tests folder should run the desired tests. Specific tests can also be run programmaticaly through this module. Consult the PyTest documentation for details.

Running the Tests

These tests depend on the server described in urest.examples.simpleled.SimpleLED being run on the MicroPython board. That board must be network accessible to the machine on which the test harness is being run.

Once the MicroPython board is running the example server code, the IPv4 address of that board must then be used to modify the test scipts. All scripts make reference to an IPv4 address in the variable IP_ADDRESS at the start of the script: put the real IP address of the board under test in here before running the test.
