# Testing Guide for Plane
This guide explains how to write tests for Plane using our pytest-based testing strategy.
## Test Categories
We divide tests into three categories:
1. **Unit Tests**: Testing individual components in isolation.
2. **Contract Tests**: Testing API endpoints and verifying contracts between components.
3. **Smoke Tests**: Basic end-to-end tests for critical flows.
## Writing Unit Tests
Unit tests should be placed in the appropriate directory under `tests/unit/` depending on what you're testing:
- `tests/unit/models/` - For model tests
- `tests/unit/serializers/` - For serializer tests
- `tests/unit/utils/` - For utility function tests
### Example Unit Test:
```python
import pytest
from plane.api.serializers import MySerializer
@pytest.mark.unit
class TestMySerializer:
def test_serializer_valid_data(self):
# Create input data
data = {"field1": "value1", "field2": 42}
# Initialize the serializer
serializer = MySerializer(data=data)
# Validate
assert serializer.is_valid()
# Check validated data
assert serializer.validated_data["field1"] == "value1"
assert serializer.validated_data["field2"] == 42
```
## Writing Contract Tests
Contract tests should be placed in `tests/contract/api/` or `tests/contract/app/` directories and should test the API endpoints.
### Example Contract Test:
```python
import pytest
from django.urls import reverse
from rest_framework import status
@pytest.mark.contract
class TestMyEndpoint:
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_my_endpoint_get(self, auth_client):
# Get the URL
url = reverse("my-endpoint")
# Make request
response = auth_client.get(url)
# Check response
assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK
assert "data" in response.data
```
## Writing Smoke Tests
Smoke tests should be placed in `tests/smoke/` directory and use the `plane_server` fixture to test against a real HTTP server.
### Example Smoke Test:
```python
import pytest
import requests
@pytest.mark.smoke
class TestCriticalFlow:
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_login_flow(self, plane_server, create_user, user_data):
# Get login URL
url = f"{plane_server.url}/api/auth/signin/"
# Test login
response = requests.post(
url,
json={
"email": user_data["email"],
"password": user_data["password"]
}
)
# Verify
assert response.status_code == 200
data = response.json()
assert "access_token" in data
```
## Useful Fixtures
Our test setup provides several useful fixtures:
1. `api_client`: An unauthenticated DRF APIClient
2. `api_key_client`: API client with API key authentication (for external API tests)
3. `session_client`: API client with session authentication (for web app API tests)
4. `create_user`: Creates and returns a test user
5. `mock_redis`: Mocks Redis interactions
6. `mock_elasticsearch`: Mocks Elasticsearch interactions
7. `mock_celery`: Mocks Celery task execution
## Using Factory Boy
For more complex test data setup, use the provided factories:
```python
from plane.tests.factories import UserFactory, WorkspaceFactory
# Create a user
user = UserFactory()
# Create a workspace with a specific owner
workspace = WorkspaceFactory(owner=user)
# Create multiple objects
users = UserFactory.create_batch(5)
```
## Running Tests
Use pytest to run tests:
```bash
# Run all tests
python -m pytest
# Run only unit tests with coverage
python -m pytest -m unit --cov=plane
```
## Best Practices
1. **Keep tests small and focused** - Each test should verify one specific behavior.
2. **Use markers** - Always add appropriate markers (`@pytest.mark.unit`, etc.).
3. **Mock external dependencies** - Use the provided mock fixtures.
4. **Use factories** - For complex data setup, use factories.
5. **Don't test the framework** - Focus on testing your business logic, not Django/DRF itself.
6. **Write readable assertions** - Use plain `assert` statements with clear messaging.
7. **Focus on coverage** - Aim for ≥90% code coverage for critical components.
