Test Structure

Structure of a test execution should follow Given-When-Then

Test Environment

Make sure to set the Environment, some methods need to be called with app_context:

with app.app_context()

Notes:

• Sometimes the DB is not updated when within the same app_context block, try creating another block and call from there.

• Mocks do not work within async celery task, due to it running on an external broker.

Further documentation can be found in the pytest documentation .
