You can see the full history of the Python API on the documentation site.

Tests

Integration and unit tests are provided.

  • All tests require the nose unit testing tools, and a tests/config file (you can copy an example from tests/example_config).
  • Tests can be run individually like this: nosetest tests/test_client.py
  • test_client and tests_unit use mock server interaction and do not require a Shotgun instance to be available (no modifications to tests/config are necessary).
  • test_api and test_api_long do require a Shotgun instance, with a script key available for the tests. The server and script user values must be supplied in the tests/config file. The tests will add test data to your server based on information in your config. This data will be manipulated by the tests, and should not be used for other purposes.
  • To run all of the tests, use the shell script run-tests.
