This is my test.py file:
import unittest, views, json
class FlaskTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.app = views.app.test_client()
def test_index(self):
rv = self.app.get('/')
assert 'Hamptons Bank' in rv.data
def test_credit(self):
response = self.app.post('/credit', data=json.dumps({
'amount': '20',
'account': '1'
}), content_type='application/json')
print response.data
assert 'Deposit of 20 to account 1' in response.data
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
The test_index method works fine, but the self.app.post keeps returning (in print response.data):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<title>500 Internal Server Error</title>
<h1>Internal Server Error</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.</p>
The method in my views.py is the following:
@app.route('/credit', methods=['POST'])
def credit_account():
bank = Bank()
amount = int(request.json["amount"])
depositCommand = DepositCommand(find_account(request.json["account"]), amount)
bank.execute(depositCommand)
message = "Deposit of " + str(request.json["amount"]) + " to account "+str(request.json["account"])
return message
What am I doing wrong?
This is my first time testing a Flask web app, so I am still a bit confused!
Thank you :-)
If you're using the PyCharm IDE, you can run unittest or pytest by following these steps: In the Project tool window, select the tests directory. On the context menu, choose the run command for unittest . For example, choose Run 'Unittests in my Tests…'.
Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application. This is the 500 Internal Server Error, which is a server error response that indicates that the server encountered an internal error in the application code.
Make sure debug mode is off, then try again. Here is a comment directly from the code itself: Default exception handling that kicks in when an exception occurs that is not caught. In debug mode the exception will be re-raised immediately, otherwise it is logged and the handler for a 500 internal server error is used.
(From my comment above): when testing, you should set app.config['DEBUG'] = True
and app.config['TESTING'] = True
.
