Running Tests

Execute the test suite with:

uv run pytest -sq
uv run pytest -sq --durations=10  # To get 10 slowest tests
uv run pytest --cov=. --cov-report=html  # To generate code coverage report

# To run js_client tests make sure you do `npm install` before
uv run pytest -vv -s tests/js_client/test_js_client_integration.py --run-js
# To run js_client tests till first failure
JS_BAIL=1 \
  uv run pytest -vv -s tests/js_client/test_js_client_integration.py --run-js
# To run specific js_client tests. Alternatively use it.only() or to skip it.skip().
SIO_TRANSPORT=default JS_GREP="should forcefully close the session" \
  uv run pytest -vv -s tests/js_client/test_js_client_integration.py --run-js

uv run ruff format
uv run docformatter . --check
uv run docformatter --in-place .
uv run ruff check
npx eslint tests/js_client

py311-dj42
py312-dj42
py310-dj51

py313-dj60
py314-dj60
py312-djmain
py313-djmain
py314-djmain
... # future support
qa
qa-js

# run the tests with python 3.14, on Django 5.2 and main branch with linting or code quality assurance.
$ uv run tox -e py314-dj52,py314-djmain,qa

Note that tox can also forward arguments to pytest. For example, forward the -sq or --run-js flag to pytest as such:

uv run tox -e py314-djmain -- -sq --run-js
