Testing Spyne application

What is the best practice to test Spyne application. Does it have test client like Django or Flask. I dont like idea to start wsgi server to test my application.

Here is my flask+spyne example https://github.com/satyrius/flask-spyne-example

Solution

  • For testing, we have the NullServer: http://spyne.io/docs/2.10/reference/server.html?highlight=nullserver#spyne.server.null.NullServer

    It implements something close to the suds interface. Here's an example:

    >>> app = Application(...)
>>> null = NullServer(app, ostr=False)
>>> print list(null.service.say_hello('Dave', 5)) 
[u'Hello, Dave', u'Hello, Dave', u'Hello, Dave', u'Hello, Dave', u'Hello, Dave']

    Here's a fully working example: https://gist.github.com/7014099
