Tornado-Tester

Testing tool of tornado web for any testing libraries.

Contextual Tester

You can use testing tool by using 'with' statement.

import unittest
from tornado_tester import gen_test, Tester

from yourapplication import app

class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    @gen_test
    def test_app():
        with Tester(app) as tester:
            response = yield tester.http_client(tester.url_for('/hello'))
            ...

By using :meth:`url_for` you can make URL with current HTTP server's address.

And you can use it for py.test like.

import pytest
from tornado_tester import gen_test, Tester

from yourapplication import app


@pytest.fixture
def tester(request):
    tester = Tester(app)

    tester.setup()
    request.addfinalizer(tester.teardown)
    return tester


@gen_test
def test_app(tester):
    response = yield tester.http_client(tester.url_for('/hello'))
    ...

import pytest
from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop
from tornado_tester import gen_test, Tester

from yourapplication import app


@gen_test
def test_app():
    loop = IOLoop()
    tester1 = Tester(app, io_loop=loop)
    tester2 = Tester(app, io_loop=loop)

    with tester1:
        ...

    with tester2:
        ...
