Using PyTest with hug and base_url

Question

I have a an api that is setup with

import hug
API = hug.API(__name__).http.base_url='/api'

@hug.get('/hello-world', versions=1)
def hello_world(response):
    return hug.HTTP_200

and I'm trying to test it with PyTest.

I'm trying to test the route with

import pytest
import hug
from myapi import api

...

def test_hello_world_route(self):
    result = hug.test.get(myapp, 'v1/hello-world')
    assert result.status == hug.HTTP_200

How can I test hug routes that have http.base_url configured?

I get a 404 errors regardless of the route path. I've tried

• /api/v1/hello-world
• api/v1/hello-world
• v1/hello-world
• /v1/hello-world

If I remove the hug.API().http.base_url setting then v1/hello-world works fine but my requirement is to have a base_url setup.

I've reviewed the documentation on the official hug github repo and various online sources such as ProgramTalk but I haven't had much success.

any recommendations?

Answer 1

You should send your module (myapp) as the first argument to hug.test.get().

Then you can use the full path /api/v1/hello-world as the second argument.

Here's a minimal working example:

# myapp.py

import hug

api = hug.API(__name__).http.base_url='/api'

@hug.get('/hello-world', versions=1)
def hello_world(response):
    return hug.HTTP_200

.

# tests.py

import hug
import myapp


def test_hello_world_route():
    result = hug.test.get(myapp, '/api/v1/hello-world')
    assert result.status == hug.HTTP_200

.

# run in shell
pytest tests.py
