Question

一个单元如何测试用于接受请求体的嵌套字典对象的烧瓶中编写的REST API端点？

以下是使用flask和webargs进行输入验证的示例

from flask import Flask
from webargs import fields
from webargs.flaskparser import use_args

app = Flask(__name__)

hello_args = { 
    'a': fields.Nested({'name' : fields.Str()})
}

@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
@use_args(hello_args)
def index(args):
    return 'Hello ' + str(args)


def test_app():
    app.config['TESTING'] = True
    test_app = app.test_client(use_cookies=False)
    test_app.post(data={"a": {"name": "Alice"}})


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

直接使用此enpoint时正常工作

% curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST \
       -d '{"a":{"name": "Alice"}}' http://localhost:5000  

Hello {'a': {'name': 'Alice'}}%

但是在单元测试中调用werkzeug.test.EnvironBuilder时会引发异常，

nosetests /tmp/test.py

这使用Python 3.5，烧瓶0.12和webargs 1.5.2。

还在https://github.com/pallets/flask/issues/2176

提交了一个问题

Answer 1

尽管使用了webargs，但仍然必须序列化输入数据并明确指定content_type以使其工作。特别是，替换

test_app.post(data={"a": {"name": "Alice"}})

带

test_app.post(data=json.dumps({"a": {"name": "Alice"}}),
            content_type='application/json')

解决了这个问题（另请参阅相关的SO答案here）。

使用flask在请求中使用嵌套对象进行单元测试
