Test Flask render_template() context

Question

I have a Flask route that looks like this:

@app.route(\'/\')                                                                 
def home():                             


        

Answer 1

My suggestion would be to take a look at the Flask documentation for testing.

Using the docs as a guide you should be able to set up a test case that can check the contents of the response.

import unittest
import yourappname

class MyAppTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.app = yourappname.app.test_client()

    def test_greeting(self):
        rv = self.app.get('/')
        self.assertIn('hello', rv.data)

where yourappname is the name of your app/project.
