I have created empty directories actually

#

oh wont git accept that?

oh no not at all. Your directory needs to contain at least one file, for it to become a valid directory that git can track @nocturne moat

Asked a question in #help-pie in case anyone can help with a Robot question

inland sleet Sep 11, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

I am looking to use Robot framework for some web testing and I wrote a function in python that concats a base url e.g www.mysite.com to a subdomain that i want to test ... e.g www.mysite.com/home

the function I have is 
@keyword("create full url")
def create_url(arg1):
    if arg1.startswith('/'):
        subdomain = arg1.lstrip('/')
    base_url = 'https://mysite.com/'
    url = base_url + subdomain
    return url

from a test, i call it like so:

*** Keywords ***
create url   /home

*** Variables ***
${now}    datetime.datetime.now()    modules=datetime
${email}  me+${now}@mysite.com
${url}=   create full url   home/

*** Test Cases ***
Verify_Home_Page_Accessible
  Start Test  ${url} ##Passing url to start browser session
  Title Should Be   ${home_page_title}
  Finish Test

however the error i get is

Keyword 'create url' expected 0 arguments, got 1.```

What are best practices on mocking functions that send requests to a server?

#

In order to make them return some custom responses and not interact with it

proud oyster Sep 11, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

you make a fake site for testing

proud nebula Sep 11, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

The best way is to not do it at all if at all possible.

inland sleet Sep 11, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

can't you use a mock library to mock a server?

@tired kiln I recommend using a Chrome extension called CroPath, which creates a new tab in the Chrome Developer Tools and allow you to right click an element and get the Xpath of the element. This you help you on figurint out how to search the elements or, depending on what are you doing, you can search the element by Xpath on your code.

Anyone know how I can have a pytest fixture act like a context manager (executing code on test finish)?

fresh blade Sep 12, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

@urban burrow instead of using return something in your pytest fixture, you can use yield something in it, and anything else after that will act as teardown.

urban burrow Sep 12, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

@fresh blade would something like this be accurate?

@pytest.fixture
def blah() -> str:
  yield "hi"
  print("teardown")

Edit: tested. It works 🙂 Thanks a lot!

Do i really need tox if I am testing against a single python and django version?

digital grotto Sep 13, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

Probably not

balmy saffron Sep 13, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

Just pytest is what I use in those cases.

#

If you are only testing your own site, and control the deployment, one version is fine.

#

If you write e.g. libraries / reusable apps, using tox is a good way to ensure it works across versions.

proud nebula Sep 13, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

I normally use pytest (or hammett if possible) until all tests pass and maybe I run tox at the end. Normally there are no problems at this point as it's rare I change something that is actually affected by different python or django versions.

Simple error in selenium that I still don't understand

#

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="useremail"]"}

#

The ID is correct, but I went ahead and used .find_element_by_name() yet that didn't work either

#

I even used .find_element_by_xpath() and it was still incorrect for some odd reason

#

I've used almost all objects, doesn't seem to work

#

I've also used .find_element_by_classname() still did not work

#

I've also added time.sleep(2) to maybe slow it down if it isn't reading but that didn't help either

I'm feeling really happy with my Python CLI app lately -- I feel that I've finally gotten the hang for writing tests in Python.

This pattern in particular has been super helpful for testing HTTP requests:

@pytest.fixture
def mock_my_endpoint() -> Tuple[MyEndpointRequest, MyEndpointResponse]:
    """Fart."""
    mock_request = MyEndpointRequest(...)
    mock_response = MyEndpointResponse(...)

    schema = desert.schema(MyEndpointResponse)

    _mock = mocker.patch("requests.get")
    _mock.return_value.__enter__.return_value.json.return_value = schema.dump(mock_response)

    return mock_request, mock_response

def test_my_endpoint(delegate: MyDelegateClass, mock_my_endpoint: Tuple[MyEndpointRequest, MyEndpointResponse]) -> None:
    """Butts."""
    mock_request, mock_response = mock_my_endpoint
    response = delegate.use_my_endpoint(mock_request)

    assert response == mock_response

is tdd standard when working in the enterprise?
@heady iris On paper, yes, but in reality, no.

People will talk about the tests at the beginning, but not actually write them until the end. So, it's similar to TDD

Ok thanks @carmine bay I’ve been in two roles so far out of college where I was the sole author of all the code that goes into prod, so I was wondering how it works when many devs are working on a project(in practice) I’ve never written tests and I know it’s not good programming practice so I’m trying to learn and start refactoring the code with tests.

#

@heady iris Not to market and stuff, but you can checkout https://github.com/Donate-Anything/Donate-Anything I'm a freshman in college, but when I was pushing stuff into prod during high school, I too didn't have any tests. It's hard to write a lot of tests for your already written code, and I had to completely restart one of my other projects because I had no tests for it (and one little change in the DB made me quit for awhile since it was a huge breaking change apparently).

I don't have any industry experience with other programmers, but I can just say that when many devs are working on one project, your fork is gonna get clumped up real fast testing other people's functionalities (i.e. don't use master branch on your fork except for syncing with upstream); even if all their tests pass, you need to test with your own code, a list of naughty words, etc. etc..

@heady iris TDD is a tool. No tool is good all the time.

#

TDD is great if you have a clear idea what you are producing. Which is the exception, not the norm if you aren't just spending your days making knockoff software.

heady iris Sep 20, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

@proud nebula thanks for the perspective. That makes a lot of sense. I guess Since I’ve never worked with a “team” or get peer reviews on my code, I was thinking that it may provide some kind of benefit to the code “quality”(lol). There was a recent job posting that had TDD as a requirement which got me looking into it. I def do manual testing though. Just trying to become a more proficient developer

proud nebula Sep 20, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

When starting out you probably ARE making knockoff software and then absolutely take the time to practice TDD. It's a really good tool and you have many opportunities to practice it when you're starting out. Later in your career it's harder to find those things to practice on.

#

And TDD for bug fixes is pretty good obviously. But even that is often not as good and easy as we'd like.

Hello. I am making a project in Django and today I started to learn how to write tests with a book by Harry Percival. Just general question, is testing more hard than actual making an app? Because I find it very confusing, and to test something properly you have to be sure how it exactly works etc... I have a current app written in django, it's a content aggregator but I find it super hard to test it properly... Tbh I don't even know where to start.

fresh blade Sep 20, 2020, 8:19 AM

if you don't find testing hard, you might want to get yourself seen by a psychologist

another question regarding testing with selenium. Do you just basically use it as a scraper and verify received html this way? Or are there many more applications?

fresh blade Sep 20, 2020, 8:29 AM

I don't use selenium at all, but you should probably be using selenium to test buttons and the likes

proud nebula Sep 20, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

Selenium is absolute last resort. It's the slowest way to make a test and should only be used as little as you can safely get away with.

#

But you should definitely have it for super critical stuff like login!

sinful wind Sep 20, 2020, 12:35 PM

I have this test for testing if django resolves to correct view based on url, but how do I test django auth_views? Working code for my view:
def test_local_news_url_resolves_local_news(self): found = resolve('/local_news/') self.assertEqual(found.func, local_news)

#

I tried this with auth_views and it doesnt work:
def test_login_url_resolves_login(self): found = resolve('/login/') self.assertEqual(found.func, auth_views.LoginView.as_view())

#

that's the error:
AssertionError: <function LoginView at 0x052F0148> != <function LoginView at 0x051EF4F0>

#

okay, if anyone else is wondering, it was comparing two objects in memory hence different.. You have to compare found.func.__name__ with auth_views.LoginView.as_view().__name__

proud nebula Sep 20, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

That seems like not a very useful test to me.

fresh blade Sep 20, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

@sinful wind self.assertEquals(found.func.view_class, auth_views.LoginView.as_view()) is the correct way

proud nebula Sep 20, 2020, 5:35 PM

Comparing equality between two generated functions won't work right?

idk what that means, but this works. I copied it from an old project

sinful wind Sep 20, 2020, 5:39 PM

@proud nebula I just started to learn testing today, it is very probable that this test is gibberish... I just thought it is useful, I check if '/login/' maps to correct view, even though it is a view imported from django

that is a valid test

You already have a list of urls to views. urls.py

sinful wind Sep 20, 2020, 5:44 PM

I don't even know if i should agree or not 😛 I think if I get more experience I will be able to tell if test is useful or not, right know this idea of testing every feature/line of code is alien to me..

fresh blade Sep 20, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

yeah and getting the perfect coverage feels really good ngl

sinful wind Sep 20, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

I think to test it properly you have to have good knowledge, even thought I've built something I am not 100% how it works so testing is very difficult

proud nebula Sep 20, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

You'll have coverage on urls.py anyway.

#

You won't have mutation coverage though! But I would whitelist all urls.py files from mutmut.

sinful wind Sep 20, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

so in similar fashion, should I test if view gets correct template?

fresh blade Sep 20, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

why not? it's just a few extra assert statements. it doesn't hurt

sinful wind Sep 20, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

is there maybe online some resource about testing django? some lists with point what should be tested in view/model etc

fresh blade Sep 20, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

when I started testing i couldn't find any good resources. if you find one, please do. share it with me.

#

I will keep that in mind

#

thanks a lot guys

proud nebula Sep 20, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

It hurts to have useless tests. It makes your test suite slower, it burns electricity, and if you don't have 100% renewable electricity it's CO2 wasted. Tests compounds too as you run them over and over.

#

Test your business logic. Have super paranoid tests for access control and critical stuff like login. But don't just write tests because your religion tells you to :)

#

You can statically verify template names point to valid file names. You don't have to run slow tests for that.

Hm interesting. The Travis build is using Python 3.8, which the SO answer said was fine?

#

Yea I guess I'd have to raise an issue in their repo. I've had this issue in two different repos, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Hey guys, I'm working on a few selenium tests (mostly working) but they're not truely automated as I'm failing to accept the Google cookie consent form and this needs manual intervention for now. I've tried

Setting a cookie (taken from a browser that accepted) after loading the page (didn't work - possibly dynamic strings I'm unable to recreate)
Clicking the 'I Agree' button on selenium (I'm failing - my xform requests aren't hitting) and changing frames (there don't seem to be any frames or iframes defined)
Running the ScriptExecute on the script mentioned in the same button tag (broken - script not found)

I'm possibly going about this all the wrong way, any advice? Thanks in advance

urban burrow Sep 21, 2020, 2:12 AM

Sure! Is there some sort of config that allows it to.. well work?

idk but mine is a bit different

urban burrow Sep 21, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

i'm sure something different will happen lmao. Thanks!

#

OH Shit I think it was because I didn't have a .coveragerc file so coverage was getting an internal error when it was looking through the .HTML file...

#

that traceback could be worded better lmao........

#

Thanks @fresh blade, again

fresh blade Sep 21, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

umm lol

#

you're welcome

proud nebula Sep 21, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

@urban burrow you could fix the error message and submit a PR

urban burrow Sep 21, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

@proud nebula I thought about it, but it could actually be due to the HTML file using Jinja2-like stuff mixed in with the HTML. I haven't tested it with netbat's django coverage plugin, so I decided against a PR since I wanted to test some stuff first.

digital grotto Sep 21, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

When it would be appropriate to test the __str__ dunder of an object, or at least in my case, various wrapper/container classes?

proud nebula Sep 21, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

If it's important. I know that's vague :)

#

Same goes for repr for that matter.

#

We test reprs and str and exception messages in some libs at work because it's super important to us that the dev experience is top notch.

digital grotto Sep 21, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

I'm basically using it to unparse the AST that I've built; testing classes that simply delegate the str call would be seem unnecessary at least imo

proud nebula Sep 21, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

Yea, if it's a good idea to test these things is almost always super dependent on what you're doing. So one class might really need a test for dunder string while another really not.

#

Seems like you know that you don't want to test it.

near lance Sep 21, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

You could think of it as whether the string output is "officially part of the API" (where you care about it being consistent), or just a bonus that could be anything without breaking user code.

proud nebula Sep 21, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

Could also be internal but useful to check for other reasons

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 5:02 AM

Dont know if if this is the right place to ask questions, but anyways, this is my question:
how do i run sh files?

#

trying to run this:
data/get_data.sh

fresh blade Sep 23, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

@placid vigil if they're executable then ./get_data.sh otherwise sh get_data.sh

#

you can make the file executable using chmod +x get_data.sh

#

might need sudo depending on the files's pre-existing permissions

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

this is doing my head in haha, so long since ive touched programming, and ive never used python
Do i need to add the folder that sh file is in the PYTHONPATH?

#

cause i cant get any commands like that to work

fresh blade Sep 23, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

@placid vigil sh is not dependent on python and you don't need to add to PYTHONPATH for it to work... What exactly are you trying to do?

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

i wanted to try this
https://github.com/fperazzi/proSR#install-dependencies
im at the step: "Getting the Data"

#

just trying to run the get data file to get the datasets

#

Im like 90% sure im gonna get stuck in the later steps since im out of my depth here, but i just wanted to try

fresh blade Sep 23, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

@placid vigil from what I see, the script is just unzip and wget commands, so you won't require sudo access for it

#

cd data; sh get_data.sh should work

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

(thanks for helping btw)
okey, im not that familiar with cmd, but i think i enabled to navigate to the folder where "get_data" is located
This is the location:
C:\Users\Vann\Documents\Python Scripts\proSR\data
so its:
cd C:\Users\Vann\Documents\Python Scripts\proSR\data; sh get_data.sh?

fresh blade Sep 23, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

oh you're on windows?

#

i dont have much experience with it

#

but yeah you're correct i think

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

thats what i thought too, but i just get a message it cant find the path specificed

fresh blade Sep 23, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

@placid vigil since you have a folder called Python Scripts with spaces, you might have to escape it

#

an easier method is to open the data folder in windows explorer

#

and then type cmd in the url bar

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

oh neat, cool way to do it
just read that windows dont have built in support for sh files so im gonna look around for a program that lets me do it

fresh blade Sep 23, 2020, 5:45 AM

#

maybe just dual boot with Linux

#

or you could look into wsl i suppose but it has never worked for me

#

@placid vigil also looking at the script again, it contains a few apt commands, so you'll need Ubuntu or a debian system to run that script

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

: ( ah i see

#

im trying to use Cygwin atm, but that might not work then

placid vigil Sep 23, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

if i get wsl to work as you mentioned, could that still be a solution?

fresh blade Sep 23, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

Yeah its supposed to be a complete linux subsystem within windows so I suppose it should

#

Make sure you go with ubuntu though

I'm not so sure on it lol

It's import random as r

i just forgot to put that at the start 🤦

bc the import random as r is at the beginning of my game

That should assign a (non-unique) choice to each. r.sample(roles, 10) would assign a unique result to each.

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks

I have this endpoint:

I want to understand how can I test this endpoint using Postman?

proud nebula Sep 27, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

What have you tried?

#

(Also remove the if for method. It's redundant as the decorator already guarantees that it is in fact a post)

pearl cliff Sep 27, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

@trail charm using postman specifically, all you can really do is test that the output of the test in postman matches what you expect

#

what you can do is construct a file with a known caption, that you can then confirm is returned correctly

#

its a bit odd to me that get_caption takes a path as its argument... is it reading the file from disk right after you saved it? perhaps this code could be more testable if get_caption was able to read the file data itself. then you could test get_caption separately. you can also write a separate function to retrieve the file info and construct a filename, which can also be tested separately. at which point the only thing left to test is that the endpoint works, without having to test any of the logic inside it

#

not that you always have to be a fanatical unit tester like this, but sometimes it can make your testing a lot less complicated

I do not not know what you are trying to do?

proper wind Sep 29, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

you should try to enable the cookies of that site

forest fractal Sep 29, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

are you just trying to open the page

proper wind Sep 29, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

does it work outside the driver?

#

oh so why would it not run inside it?

#

do you have any other driver handey?

#

you can try in that

#

yeah

#

but you need help right?

#

i think so

forest fractal Sep 29, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

so you are just doing ```python
driver.get(URL)

proper wind Sep 29, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

which site are you trying to go to?

forest fractal Sep 29, 2020, 9:04 AM

@proper wind What is the URL or is it private?

proper wind Sep 29, 2020, 9:04 AM

kk

forest fractal Sep 29, 2020, 9:05 AM

So the site opens then you click on an element and get the error?

proper wind Sep 29, 2020, 9:05 AM

guess it would work

#

try edge

#

i think he is saying that only

#

its k

#

and btw if it STILL doesnt work, you might still be in luck if you have internet explorer

#

cuz it runs on the old dos system so it is supported by nearly every website in the world

then the download should still be in your downloads folder

How do you get the text from an element that has no own ''id'' but is a ''label for='id name' from an element.
In my example I use ''EXAMPLEID'' as ''id name''.

Example website Source (inspect element):
PARENT<input id="EXAMPLEID" type="radio" name="name" value="somevalue" onclick="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack('ctletcetcetcime$0','')', 0)">

CHILD<label for="EXAMPLEID"><span class="label">06:30 - 12:00 uur</span>
<span class="expositionPeriodCommentLabel"></span></label>

Python Code:
textout=driver.find_element_by_id('EXAMPLEID')
print(textout.text)

I want to get the ''6:30-12:00 uur'' out of it but don't know how. It does work when it's in it's own element and not a label for.

I also tried finding by xpath and class but that doesn't seem to work either.

Of course I tried to google/stackoverflow it but coudn't manage to get it solved.

wise fox Sep 30, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

paste the link and we I will try to give you the selector @glossy crane

proper wind Sep 30, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

@glossy crane and also please insert 3 backticks and type py before the code and again insert 3 backticks at the end

#

it will look like this

#

Example website Source (inspect element):
PARENT<input id="EXAMPLEID" type="radio" name="name" value="somevalue" onclick="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack('ctletcetcetcime$0','')', 0)">

CHILD<label for="EXAMPLEID"><span class="label">06:30 - 12:00 uur</span>

Howdy friends, I'm wondering if someone could give me a nudge towards a solution. I'm trying to wrap my head around PyUnit with selenium. I have a functional script that does what I need it to do, https://hastebin.com/iyeqojulos.py. It goes to google maps, deals with 'cookie consent' (if you're EU you'll understand), does a search for an area, validates that I've searched for it via xpath, then clicks the 'directions' button and validates again that the location specified is listed. (again via xpath and comparing strings)

This works, but I'm struggling to wrap it in pyunit for assertion purposes, when I run it, the browser instance is launched, the location is searched then the tests suddenly fail. 1 timeout and 1 'unable to locate element' error. Code and stacktrace at https://hastebin.com/mucisomehu.rb
EDIT: I do see my destination input into the search bar before failure, so I know it's working just incredibly delayed when pyunits involved (my pyunit code anyway)

I have a feeling I'm missing something something fundamental, any help appreciated, please and thank you

willow stream Oct 1, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

I feel bad but I've started to 'fix' this by ripping out the selenium 'wait for object to appear' code and replacing it with sleeps 😦

fresh blade Oct 1, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

@willow stream selenium has explicit waits built in, maybe look into them?

willow stream Oct 1, 2020, 2:28 AM

My understand was explicit waits was a part of the EC code I was attempting - wait for element to appear but ill dig more. Cheers @fresh blade

@heady python classes have a def setUp method which runs before every test case

test case as in each method that runs a test, or the class itself

How much are multiple asserts in one test discouraged? Pretty broad question but I'll elaborate in a bit.

#

Basically I'm trying to test writing a test for a parser that just reads tokens prefixed with a single quote. Writing multiple tests, one for each token seems a bit redundant.

fresh blade Oct 2, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

won't pytest's parametrize do the trick?

magic dawn Oct 2, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

How much are multiple asserts in one test discouraged? Pretty broad question but I'll elaborate in a bit.
@digital grotto think it depends on their nature

digital grotto Oct 2, 2020, 9:41 AM

Seems fair

cobalt ore Oct 2, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

I have a function which has an assertion - I expect that assertion to fail if given a value over a given threshold

eg

def f(x, m):
    assert x < m, 'x should be < m'
    ... stuff ...

I'm wondering how to test this - in pytest there's xfail, so I could have

@pytest.mark.xfail
def test_f():
    f(3, 4)

Which will give me 1 xfailed in the terminal output - I'm not sure that this is a permanent solution though, or something that's intended to be temp

#

so - how should I go about this?

#

perhaps :

def test_f():
    with pytest.raises(AssertionError):
        f(3, 4)

would be preferred here.

fresh blade Oct 2, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

@cobalt ore you could test if your input parameters are over that certain threshold using a conditional and then use the with pytest.raises as you did before

cobalt ore Oct 2, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

@fresh blade this is in a test though

#

The input will definitely be over BC I'm writing a test for it, so I don't get the if statement

#

I might be missing something though

fresh blade Oct 2, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

if ALL your test parameters are over that threshold then there's no need for a conditional,but then the question wouldn't make any sense then

cobalt ore Oct 2, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Well I have that one which is, then the one that isn't is in a separate bit

#

Perhaps i should just iterate and use an if as you suggest

fresh blade Oct 2, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

yeah pytest has something called parametrize, idk if uk about it @cobalt ore

cobalt ore Oct 2, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

I don't 🌚

fresh blade Oct 2, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

you can use it to reduce code written drastically

#

and if you use that, then the conditional will have to be there

cobalt ore Oct 2, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

Ok interesting, what should I look at for this?

fresh blade Oct 2, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

because even though you have you parameters that will fail and that won't separately, the test itself wouldn't know that

cobalt ore Oct 2, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Sounds like hypothesis or something

fresh blade Oct 2, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Ok interesting, what should I look at for this?
@cobalt ore pytest docs, but it's pretty difficult to understand at least for me it was

#

so maybe a few yt videos explaining it

Right, maybe I'll leave it for now then

Hello! I'm writing a command line tool that utilizes the PyGithub library. I'm trying to write a test for a function that calls get_hooks()(https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/github_objects/Organization.html#github.Organization.Organization.get_hooks) on an instance of Organization. The library returns a github.PaginatedList.PaginatedList of github.Hook.Hook. This function then iterates over each Hook and returns an array of hook.raw_data (which is a json object turned dict)

What would be the best way to go about writing this test? I was thinking of creating some fixtures via .json files and use the mock library to mock the call to raw_data. Is this too convoluted?

Here's what the function being tested looks like:

    def invoke(self) -> ListResult:
        webhooks = [webhook.raw_data for webhook in self.organization.get_hooks()]

        return ListResult(label="Organization webhooks: ", values=webhooks)

anyone know how to get an image with selenium and put it into a pil img object like this
response = requests.get(url)
img = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content))
but with selenium instead of requests so I can speed it up

you can target the element, get the image url from src and then continue as you are doing

Trying to seemlessly control a browser

Hey guys, I am trying to log into a google account to access a website for testing and cannot figure it out.

Currently I am using Selenium, although Im not tied to it or anything, and have tried using both Firefox and Chrome.

The exact error I get is "This browser or app may not be secure", since Google does not allow logging into an account even with less secure apps turned on.

Are there any other packages that can log into a Google account? Or my other thought was some how use OAuth2 or something and log in that way?

Thank you guys!

so uh

#

i've written a python program that manages an election, for a preferential ballot system.
i'm asking on the off chance that this is already a known thing, but how do i generate good "random" preferential ballots? (a random list of length n, containing integers from 0 to n, where only 0 may repeat, and represents "unranked")

#

my current generator takes [i for i in range(n)] and applies random.shuffle(ballot)

#

and then i've tried working out a way to crop out a random number of values (since not every voter will rank every candidate)

#

is this good, and are there better ways?

random bramble Oct 13, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

I'm by no means an expert but if you want it to repeat 0 you could have it start at a negative value then you check if there are any negative values in the list and it there are, change them into 0.

#

There are probably better ways for this like with anything so take this with a grain of salt but this should work regardless.

peak vault Oct 13, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

well for the zeroes actually thank you that's a genius innovation

#

my ballot object has a process which takes max(i,0) for i in ranks

#

so in fact i could just feed in:
ranks = [i-k for i in range(n)] # random k
random.shuffle(ranks)

#

however i would also like to someday introduce party biases, since that's another important part (solving the vote-splitting problem)

A repo I'm helping on found that Artix Linux shares a bug with Windows, but not with Ubuntu, even though they're both Linux distros, and that made me want to test out as many different operating systems at once, as this bug can cause the entire program to fail, so we don't want to wait for users to come in and say "hey, this isn't working for me", we'd rather be proactive and prevent that from happening in the first place.

split field Oct 20, 2020, 2:06 AM

@river pilot I wasted a bunch of time the other day trying to figure out why coverage was telling me that lines that I knew for certain were being reached were not covered. Turns out I was misinterpreting the output, because 10-14 would have meant those lines were unreached, but 10->14 meant a branch was unreached. Which, now that I know to look for it, makes enough sense, but it's really subtle and easy to miss if you're not already looking for it. The missing branch would be way more obvious if it was displayed as 14<-10 instead (10-14 would mean "the range from 10 to 14", and 14<-10 would mean "the jump to 14 from 10"). I don't suppose there's any chance that no one depends on parsing that output format and it could be changed? 😄

#

I'm guessing that's a non-starter, but if it's not then it may be worth giving some thought to.

Hello, I am currently developing a website with Django (more like a tool) and v1.0.0 is near completion but I have no tests. I don’t really know how to get started. Any advice?
@midnight roost testing Django is a bit involved.

#

at the very least, test your public API (the views)

#

with one test per view that asserts that you can access it with valid data and get an okay response back

#

and a suitable number of tests that assert that you get an appropriate non-okay response with invalid data

midnight roost Oct 20, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

Yes, I know testing is involved but I know it’s pretty important so o want to ensure I do it now. The project seems to be growing more and more and I don’t want to have to add tests after I have 60 views but now when I only have 20 or so

#

But how should I get started? Which package should I use if any? I was looking at the Django documentation and they had some suggestions. Should I just go with that? And to test the views do I just make simple get, post requests and ensure I am receiving a valid response?

frosty shuttle Oct 20, 2020, 2:38 PM

pytest-django is nice to use!

#

with django-webtest, much nicer thant the built-in http test client

#

tests for models are regular python unit tests: test that can instantiate one; test that some computer property is what you expect for some fields; test a custom method
tests for managers/querysets are similar (and it is a django best practice to have more logic in managers than in views): if you write custom filtering or creation methods, test them (setup: create many models, test: call your method, assertions: check that you only get the models you expect)
tests for views can be exactly unit tests (mock the manager, only check what the view does), or more like functional tests that exercise everything from DB to managers to views to rendering (JSON or HTML conversion) — I find the latter more useful (setup: prepare models in DB, test: send an http request, assertion: check the response + the state of the DB if it was supposed to change)

Hello folks. I have encountered an unexpected issue with ddt, pytests and kernprof.

#

I can run and pass all tests I've set up from pytest.

#

When I try to profile my code, in my Ananconda console I run the usual: kernprof -l -v test_01.py and all JSON loading tests trigger:

#

    raise ValueError(message % file_attr)
ValueError: test_500K.json does not exist```

#

This is the relevant test:

#

    def test_json3(self, g1, g2, g3, g4, hand_size, num_letters, expected):
        return self.do_test(g1, g2, g3, g4, hand_size, num_letters, expected)```

#

... which works fine within pytest but comes up short when it's triggered by kernprof.

#

The JSON files are UTF-8, in an NTFS folder, along with sources, LF line separator ...

#

Any idea?

gentle terrace Oct 23, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

whats the folder structure look like

#

I'm guessing that pytest runs from a different working dir than kernprof

#

so relative paths are resolved differently

However this results in AssertionError: Expected 'Github' to have been called once. Called 0 times.

What is a good way of testing HTML output? I want to test whether the output of a function is a particular HTML code, but I don't care how exactly it's structured. For example, bot <div id="hello" class="world"></div> and <div class="world" id=hello ><div/> should both pass the test.

#

I'm using pytest, if that matters

gentle terrace Oct 25, 2020, 4:08 AM

@fiery arrow hmm, what if you ran a html formatter on the output?

that should give a consistent output

oh wait that might not fix the attr ordering

Hi guys, sorry, i'm not really sure where else to post this

I'm testing an app that will require users to verify their identity with front facing id, back facing id and a selfie. It's really tedious to do the tests by hand one by one, i'd like to have a few people make videos in different lighting conditions, then I can send those videos to the camera feed of a real android phone and see how the app fares.

I know it's possible to do something like this on PC with ManyCam, where you can send a video to the camera api, I was wondering if there's a similar app or method to achieve the same thing on androids.

I'm trying to get ActionChains working with Selenium and I've watched a video on YouTube about automating Cookie Clicker, but I still can't get it to work. I've tried to write the most basic example I can think of, which is just to open YouTube and press CTRL + F, but as soon as the browser opens, Google will yell about cookies and then the window closes.

I have another Selenium script and that works just fine without Google yelling at me. But I want to use ActionChains in that script, so I thought I would test it out and it doesn't work for me at all. At the moment, for pressing keys, I'm using PyAutoGUI but that takes control of my mouse and keyboard, and I don't want that. I want to still be able to use my mouse/keyboard.

#

Currently, my ActionChains command looks like this:

driver = Chrome.webdriver(executable_path=r"C:\bin\chromedriver.exe")
body = driver.get_element_by_tag_name('body')

chains = ActionChains(driver)
body.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL)
body.send_keys('F')
chains.perform()

@thorny fable Pretty much what I did for the last 4 years, but it was a pretty specialized environment.

My query was too large so now I am hoping that i could make the changes in a pandas dataframe and export it to excel.

I saw your messages on help iron and I understand what you want to do

#

We can easily do it using sqlite3

is it free?

#

Yes it come with python

#

It is a local db

#

You can use anything for the project or there are limited conditions?

Anything is good because manipulating the data isnt part of my report, it just preparation before I do stat analysis in R.

#

So if we enter all the data to SQL dB and check for the country's continent is that ok?

Can I show you what I had in SQL? I was using a switch statement like this and this works its just too large

UPDATE ProjectDataInAccess
SET Continent =
Switch(
Country = 'Afghanistan', 'Asia',
Country = 'Albania', 'Europe',
Country = 'Algeria', 'Africa',
Country = 'Angola', 'Africa',
Country = 'Antigua and Barbuda', 'North America',
Country = 'Argentina', 'South America',

#

Yea im open to anything

So your project is to take an input from the user for checking the country's continent

#

nah, my project is to do a statistical analysis on life expectancy across countries. Before i start my analysis I want to add an artificial continent column so that I could analyze the differences across continents

#

Theres no input from the user because once the continents are in the dataframe, i just want to export to a csv

So you want to just differentiate between countries continents at first?
