Running tests

Installing dependencies

FFmpeg has to be installed globally.

All the required dependencies for python can be installed via pip, by using the following command:

pip install -e .[test]

Executing tests

After installing all the required modules, just call the following command from the root directory:

pytest

To see code coverage use:

pytest --cov=spotdl

Enable network communication

To speed up the test execution, the network requests are mocked. That means that each HTTP request does not reach the server, and the response is faked by the vcrpy module. This greatly increases the test performance, but also may cause a problem whenever something changes in the real server response. It is recommended to run the test suite without mocked network from time to time (preferably on CI).

To run tests with a real network communication use this command:

pytest --disable-vcr

Whenever the server response will change and affect the tests behavior, the stored responses can be updated by wiping the tests/cassetes directory and running pytest again (without --disable-vcr).
