Package status

What is this?

This is a pytest plugin, that enables you to test your code that relies on a running RabbitMQ Queues. It allows you to specify additional fixtures for RabbitMQ process and client.

How to use

Plugin contains two fixtures

• rabbitmq - it's a client fixture that has functional scope. After each test, it cleans RabbitMQ, cleans queues and exchanges for more reliable tests.
• rabbitmq_proc - session scoped fixture, that starts RabbitMQ instance at it's first use and stops at the end of the tests.

Simply include one of these fixtures into your tests fixture list.

You can also create additional rabbitmq client and process fixtures if you'd need to:

from pytest_rabbitmq import factories

rabbitmq_my_proc = factories.rabbitmq_proc(
    port=None, logsdir='/tmp')
rabbitmq_my = factories.rabbitmq('rabbitmq_my_proc')

Note

Each RabbitMQ process fixture can be configured in a different way than the others through the fixture factory arguments.

Configuration

You can define your settings in three ways, it's fixture factory argument, command line option and pytest.ini configuration option. You can pick which you prefer, but remember that these settings are handled in the following order:

• Fixture factory argument
• Command line option
• Configuration option in your pytest.ini file

Configuration options

RabbitMQ option	Fixture factory argument	Command line option	pytest.ini option	Default
host	host	--rabbitmq-host	rabbitmq_host	127.0.0.1
RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT	port	--rabbitmq-port	rabbitmq_port	random
RABBITMQ_DIST_PORT	distribution_port	--rabbitmq-distribution-port	rabbitmq_distribution_port	random
rabbitmqctl path	ctl	--rabbitmq-ctl	rabbitmq_ctl	/usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmqctl
rabbitmq server path	server	--rabbitmq-server	rabbitmq_server	/usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-server
Log directory location	logsdir	--rabbitmq-logsdir	rabbitmq_logsdir	$TMPDIR
Plugin directory location	plugin_path	--rabbitmq-plugindir	rabbitmq_plugindir	$TMPDIR
Node name	node	--rabbitmq-node	rabbitmq_node	rabbitmq-test-{port}

Example usage:

• pass it as an argument in your own fixture

  rabbitmq_proc = factories.rabbitmq_proc(port=8888)

• use --rabbitmq-port command line option when you run your tests

  py.test tests --rabbitmq-port=8888
  

• specify your port as rabbitmq_port in your pytest.ini file.

  To do so, put a line like the following under the [pytest] section of your pytest.ini:

  [pytest]
  rabbitmq_port = 8888
