Testing PyRMQ¶
We’re not gonna lie. Testing RabbitMQ, mocks or not, is infuriating. Much harder than a traditional integration testing with a database. That said, we hope that you could help us expand on what we have started should you feel our current tests aren’t enough.
RabbitMQ¶
Since PyRMQ strives to be as complete with testing as it can be, it has several integration tests
that need a running RabbitMQ to pass. Currently, PyRMQ is tested against rabbitmq:3.8.
Run Docker image (recommended)¶
$ docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name rabbitmq -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq:alpine
This allows you to connect to RabbitMQ via localhost through port 5672. Default credentials are
guest/guest.
Install and run RabbitMQ locally¶
$ # Depending on your OS
$ # Ubuntu
$ sudo apt install rabbitmq
$ # Arch Linux
$ sudo pacman -S rabbitmq
Using tox¶
Install pip install tox and run:
$ tox
$ tox -e py38 # If this is what you have installed or don't want to bother testing for other versions
