Description
The integration tests of the server code are arduous to maintain, largely because they violate best practices:
- Avoid copy-pasted code
- Use the least complex example that adequately exercises the code under test
We want to refactor it to address these problems by adding a helper module. This helper module should include (a hierarchy of?) testcase superclasses to support:
- setting Epidata.BASE_URL and secrets
- truncating tables
- loading data
- should isolate variations so they are easy to read and reason about at the point of use
- should return a dict in epidata response format using same ordering
- should feel free to use the associated database.Database as a helper -- these are server tests; database.Database should have been tested elsewhere
The files affected:
- integrations/server/test_covid_hosp.py - has a reasonable example of what loading data might look like
- integrations/server/test_covidcast.py
- integrations/server/test_covidcast_endpoints.py
- integrations/server/test_covidcast_meta.py
- integrations/server/test_covidcast_nowcast.py
- integrations/server/test_fluview.py - setup only
- integrations/server/test_fluview_meta.py - setup only
