03/26/2023, 2:53 PM🤠 good day folks. what is the best approach for handling unit tests with supertokens python SDK? unfortunately i have procrastinated on this for way too long. is there any easy mechanism to mock the user session? i know about the recipe specific API overrides as I am using some of those to customize the auth flow. is there a way to mock the response for user session as well? Can I override the

03/26/2023, 3:24 PMThe best way to do do unit testing it to actually spin up an instance of the core that you can run to.

03/26/2023, 3:25 PMoh geez i was hoping that wasnt going to be the answer lol
d3adb0y
03/26/2023, 3:25 PMbut that makes sense

03/26/2023, 3:25 PMyeaaa.. we need to figure out a better way.

03/26/2023, 3:25 PMto not pollute your PRD supertokens

rp_st
03/26/2023, 3:25 PMbut until then..
rp_st
03/26/2023, 3:25 PMwell, you don't have to run it against the prod core
rp_st
03/26/2023, 3:25 PMuse the dev core, or spin up your own docker image
rp_st
03/26/2023, 3:26 PMyou don't even need to connect the core to a db. It can just use the in memory db

03/26/2023, 3:26 PMyeah i have some experience using the python docker plugin
d3adb0y
03/26/2023, 3:26 PMto launch test deps
d3adb0y
03/26/2023, 3:26 PMill give that a shot.

03/26/2023, 3:27 PMmost of my endpoints dont even have an explicit dependency on supertokens except for one or two. right now im just refactoring with some class based views in fastapi
d3adb0y
03/26/2023, 3:27 PMto make it easier to disable it on endpoints which dont require integration w auth

03/26/2023, 3:28 PMthanks as always @rp_st 🙏
d3adb0y
03/26/2023, 3:31 PMbut if i was to go that approach and create my own local supertokens instance for testing
d3adb0y
03/26/2023, 3:32 PMwouldnt that still require generating and retrieving the OTP token?
r
rp_st
03/26/2023, 3:45 PMit would. And you can override the sendEmail / sendSms functino on the backend to store the OTP in memory (if in testing mode), and then fetch that from your tests somehow
