easygae

A Nose2 Plugin to test Google App Engine (GAE) painlessly.

Cool, but what does it do?

Features

• Inserts App Engine SDK in the Python Path.
• Prepares the Testbed and initializes the stubs for you.

Installation

Via PIP (this assumes you are in your app folder):

$ pip install easygae  # This will also install Nose2
$ nose2 --plugin easygae

The plugin will look for the App Engine SDK in the following manner.

1. Looks for an environment variable APPENGINE_ROOT
2. Looks for a variable appengine-root in easygae section of Nose2 configuration.
3. Checks if dev_appserver.py binary is installed and calculates the SDK path from there.

Roadmap

• Provide useful and documented mocks for external services (like URLFetch)
• Make it more customizable and support Nose 2 config files.
