Running Tests

In order to run pytest, you have to set ENVIRONMENT=development so that the config can pick it up and set the correct variables. Note: Config is not actually setting anything in tests, but the config is called in some of the files that are imported and it will error if not set.

Dev Testing on Mac

• Make sure to change /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost --> 127.0.0.1 localhost api.localhost books.localhost

Docroot is: /usr/local/var/www

The default port has been set in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf to 8080 so that nginx can run without sudo.

nginx will load all files in /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers/.

To restart nginx after an upgrade: brew services restart nginx Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: /usr/local/opt/nginx/bin/nginx -g daemon off;

pytest-xdist

This plugin does not work with the current configuration (08/28/2024) using a local Docker Postgres and running the app, api, and postgres in a separate thread. pytest-xdist bypasses the start of the docker container and all tests fail.
