Hands-On RESTful Python Web Services - Second Edition

Improving testing coverage

Now we will write additional tests functions to improve the testing coverage. Specifically, we will write unit tests related to notifications and users.

Open the existing service/tests/test_views.py file and insert the following lines after the last line. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_2_04_02 folder, in the Flask01/service/tests/test_views.py file:

def create_notification(client, message, ttl,notification_category): 
 url = url_for('service.notificationlistresource', _external=True) data = {'message': message, 'ttl': ttl, 'notification_category': notification_category} response = client.post( url, headers=get_authentication_headers(TEST_USER_NAME, TEST_USER_PASSWORD), data=json.dumps(data)) ...
