Testing

Test LongLink applications with standard pytest(opens in new tab) and pytest-asyncio(opens in new tab) workflows. Generated projects also include the dependencies needed by longlink.testing.TestClient.

To install the development dependencies, run:

bash
pip install .[dev]

Usage

You can execute all tests or target a specific test file using the LongLink test command. Arguments after longlink test are forwarded to pytest.

bash
uv run longlink test
uv run longlink test tests/test_app.py -q

Example

LongLink applications are FastAPI applications, and longlink.testing.TestClient is a compatible facade over FastAPI's TestClient(opens in new tab). Use async pytest tests for lower-level async services when needed.

python
from main import app
from longlink.testing import TestClient
​
client = TestClient(app)
​
def test_healthcheck() -> None:
    """Return the LongLink runtime health payload."""
    response = client.get("/health")
​
    assert response.status_code == 200
