Building and Testing with Responder
===================================
Responder comes with a first-class, well supported test client for your ASGI web services: **Requests**.
Here, we'll go over the basics of setting up a proper Python package and adding testing to it.
The Basics
----------
Your repository should look like this::
Pipfile Pipfile.lock api.py test_api.py
``$ cat api.py``::
import responder
api = responder.API()
@api.route("/")
def hello_world(req, resp):
resp.text = "hello, world!"
if __name__ == "__main__":
api.run()
``$ cat Pipfile``::
[[source]]
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
name = "pypi"
[packages]
responder = "*"
[dev-packages]
pytest = "*"
[requires]
python_version = "3.7"
[pipenv]
allow_prereleases = true
Writing Tests
=============
``$ cat test_api.py``::
import pytest
import api as service
@pytest.fixture
def api():
return service.api
def test_hello_world(api):
r = api.requests.get("/")
assert r.text = "hello, world!"
``$ pytest``::
...

(Optional) Proper Python Package
--------------------------------
Optionally, you can not rely on relative imports, and instead install your api as a proper package. This requires:
1. A `proper setup.py <https://github.com/kennethreitz/setup.py>`_ file.
2. ``$ pipenv install -e . --dev``
This will ensure that your application gets installed in every developer's environment, using Pipenv.
