How I run a single pgstac test with VSCode

[gadomski]

The stac-fastapi test suite is large 🥳 but it is slow 😭. When I'm working a single issue, I want to quickly run the same test over and over. Here's how I do it using VSCode (shortcuts are from my MacOS machine):

1. Create a build task (in .vscode/tasks.json) that runs the full pgstac stack:

... snip ...
{
    "label": "pgstac",
    "type": "shell",
    "command": "make docker-run-pgstac",
    "problemMatcher": [],
    "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
    }
}
... snip ..

2. Create a test task that runs my test of interest, e.g.:

... snip ...
{
    "label": "pytest",
    "type": "shell",
    "command": "pytest 'stac_fastapi/pgstac/tests/api/test_api.py::test_search_ids_and_datetime'",
    "group": {
        "kind": "test",
        "isDefault": true
    },
    "problemMatcher": []
}
... snip ...

3. Run the build task (default shortcut: cmd+shift+b) to bring up the database
4. Run the test task (I've created my own chord: ^R T)

Hope that helps!

    ]
}
