How to test REST API

Frappe Framework
#1

Use Test Utilities from werkzeug

http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/0.12/test/

In [1]: from werkzeug.test import Client

In [2]: from frappe.app import application

In [3]: from werkzeug.wrappers import BaseResponse

In [4]: c = Client(application, BaseResponse)

In [5]: resp = c.get('/api/method/version')

In [6]: resp.status_code
Out[6]: 200

In [7]: resp.data
Out[7]: '{"message":"8.4.1"}'

Following also works,

c = frappe.utils.get_test_client() 
ci, status, headers = c.get('/api/method/version')

But there are errors while testing, all tests after executing this test fails

error:

RuntimeError: no object bound to session

for now werkzeug client cannot be used as is while testing.

any help?

I didn’t check after my last message. Not planning to check either.

@revant_one
Even this one gives the same error

#6

werkzeug_console

Okay. I don’t know. I don’t use it.

For testing REST API there are tests here :

@revant_one thanks for your time

  • this is my last resort
  • It sure might work in bench console, but it gives the same error when it is run using
    bench --site <<site_name>> run-tests --app <<app_name>>
  • Any any consecutive test written gives following error
Site localhost does not exist
E
