Pytest Tutorial - How to Test Python Code

[@iamrithmic]

Thank you again for the opportunity to collaborate! I hope you folks found this insightful :)

[@diana_str]

How did you make it show in terminal just (venv) -> file location name?

[@valorien1]

Thanks for the course. I think you're wrong about `setup_method()` and `@pytest.fixture`: The setup flows or objects they define will be executed/recreated again for each and every test case. This doesn't actually save time or computation resources.

PLS STOP USING BLACK BACKGROUND FOR TUTORIAL!!!

[@belindazhang426]

thx, intuitive enough

[@xsamueljr]

I was literally studying unit testing in Python, and suddenly this video pops up in my feed! Amazing, high quality, free content, as always. Thanks! ❤

[@akashmudgal3718]

This is THE course on youtube if you want to learn pytest quickly. Simple, and on point explanations of every important concept in pytest.

Amazing tutorial on Pytest over the whole KZbin !!

[@parthib_deb23]

Straight to the Topic !! Top-Notch Descriptions of Every part of Pytest. Love this Video . Will recommend it surely 😇😇😇🤗🤗.

[@iamrithmic]

This comment means a lot, thank you :)

[@Sane_Circle]

Great tutorial This tutorial made me fall in love with pycharm really. great explanation

[@Alex43198]

This is the best explanation I've found so far. I think the AI defeats the purpose a little, but it's good to know

[@briannguyen5057]

Thank you, I especially found the mocking section really helpful!

[@skafiend4319]

awesome tutorial, reading the documentation was quite excruciating :D this format is much much better. thank you

[@iamrithmic]

You are more than welcome :)

[@syinx2301]

Thanks i have know to use fixture, mark, paramatizer, and mock

[@Melkii377]

Thank you for helping to understand how fixtures work 😊

Great job brother

[@FxAndrej]

@43:45 - You get a warning for the "slow" mark because, unlike other marks, it is NOT a built-in type. So Pytest doesn't recognize it. You may have been misled by the "Getting Started" guide of the official documentation that it is. "Skip" is built-in, "xfail" is built-in, but not "slow". You must register "slow", along with any other "custom_marks" in a pytest.ini file

[@laodrofotic7713]

to me it shows some parts of this you have memorized without properly understanding it, and this is so clear once you try to explain it. either that or you are lacking proper communication skills. Either way it amazes me to see how many people want to make videos about things they dont even understand themselves while people that do dont make videos at all.

[@coderanger7708]

[@vuarnet0318]

[@dextron_py]

Muy buen video, lo esperamos en español.

[@AlexBerkk]

great stuff, but one thing is bugging me - why he doesn't use "from" in his imports? from source import service instead of import source.service as service ? Is there something I don't know about imports?

[@1deesa]

Some find it useful for readability. Imagine a long code, and in the middle of it you see some function. In this way you see immediately that it is external. If author of code used "from .. import .." construction you will need to jump (or scroll) to the import part of a file. upd: reread your question and it occurs to me that I answered not to it. But let stay, I guess.

[@yjc5805]

谢谢作者！

[@tadastadux]

great stuff, is source code available please?

[@FxAndrej]

Re: Mocking - it's odd that you demo unittest mocking in a Pytest course. Pytest has its own module called MonkeyPatch, and I think that's what should've been demoed instead of mixing two different libraries.

[@Learner_Shubham]

Amazing👌🏻

[@manavmalhotra8513]

how does python gets to know confest has fixtures? like no need of importing and all?

[@deeksha6514]

Why are not we using MonkeyPatching built inside Pytest and instead using unittest ?

[@edgarlip2]

Hi , awesome pytest intro !!! do you have the code in txt as well ?

[@mathewsjose1990]

Great video!

[@mostafaboras]

i don't why but i think that my vs code is crazy or when you imported source.my_functions as my_functions it telling me that there is no such module called my_functions pretty crazy right!!!!

[@rudranarayansamal4168]

I got the same issue, it was solved when i created empty __init__.py files inside the package

[@AntonioMartinez-sq2gp]

I would like to learn coding. I would need to start with step 1. Can anyone point me in the right direction. What to learn first?

[@StaticBlaster]

start with learning some discrete math and set theory. that will train your brain to think discretely and logically - the way computers "think" and process information. Then I would recommend learning JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. and finally learn python from variables to OOP concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, etc.

[@AntonioMartinez-sq2gp]

@StaticBlaster .... Thank You Very Much!! I hope you have a blessed day!!

[@StaticBlaster]

@@AntonioMartinez-sq2gp You're very welcome, and you too, bro.

[@ccc_ccc789]

The best way to learn is for you to identify what is it you wanted to create or solve. Anything that will make you wake up at night because you wanted to finish it. Next, break down the components of the problem in to small parts. Next, write a software function to solve each small parts of the problem. Then, use chatgpt to give you a sample code that is close enough to the software function that you are trying create. It is similar to building a Lego. It is only after you tried programming yourself that will start to appreciate the books or documentations. In other words, just do it. A good analogy is when a small child is trying learn to speak for the first time. They don't start with learning the abcs, they just do it. They try to mimic what they here again and again. It's only later in life that children learn the abcs to polish they're language.

"We were expecting a raise but instead we got a test fail" - I feel ya

[@iamrithmic]

😂😂

[@tibiavram]

thanks a lot.

[@luisrnandezc]

Good tutorial except the Mocking section which was extremely shallow. How the mock test is ever going to fail if you are the one defining the return value of the function/method and then are comparing it with the same exact value? Obviously is always going to pass.

[@devsuniversity]

Who is the guy speaking at the first 30 seconds?

[@relojsaturno]

But what is the point of testing a function with results that we know in advance?

[@wabschall]

Thought experiment: Can I test a use-case that I haven't thought of yet? I would argue no. The first step to testing anything is to identify parameters I want to test. Think about it like this. Part of good coding is Error Handling; how to handle when things aren't correct in a calculation, input, or something else. Testing is a way to do this without actually having to run the code each time. I, as the programmer, know what my inputs should look like, and what my result should look like. The test just makes sure my code is doing what I think.

[@relojsaturno]

@@wabschallBut my friend, if when you are writing the test it occurs to you that the function can receive an elephant as an argument, you modify the function so that it handles an elephant. It is conceptually like the impossibility of deceiving oneself. I still do not understand. Thanks for answering

[@cjr-en4wr]

@@relojsaturno a block of code that works today might not work next week as code bases are forever being updated by the team - when pushing out an update to your website you can run all the tests to make sure everything is still ok.

[@relojsaturno]

@@cjr-en4wr It would be good if in the video they simulated a slightly more real case, where a test discovered an error

[@TheFutureAwareness]

so we need to install python, pytest, and pycharm?

[@wabschall]

If on Windows: Yes & No. - You will need to install Python, then PyTest. - You do not specifically need to install Pycharm, but it's a decent IDE. Personally I use Visual Studio Code for all of my work. Pycharm is specifically made for python so it will have the most "out-of-the-box" compatibility with Python. If on Linux: - Python is installed on most Linux Distros by default. Go to your terminal and type in "python --version". If you get an error: It's not installed. If not, it is. - After that you do the same thing as with Windows. Install PyTest, get an IDE of choice.

Because you are named your source directory not src and still using requirements.txt, I can't watch this. Neither are standard anymore so I can't trust your pytest stuff is current.
