# Testing
Sanic endpoints can be tested locally using the `test_client` object, which
depends on the additional [`requests-async`](https://github.com/encode/requests-async)
library, which implements an API that mirrors the `requests` library.
The `test_client` exposes `get`, `post`, `put`, `delete`, `patch`, `head` and `options` methods
for you to run against your application. A simple example (using pytest) is like follows:
```python
# Import the Sanic app, usually created with Sanic(__name__)
from external_server import app
def test_index_returns_200():
request, response = app.test_client.get('/')
assert response.status == 200
def test_index_put_not_allowed():
request, response = app.test_client.put('/')
assert response.status == 405
```
Internally, each time you call one of the `test_client` methods, the Sanic app is run at `127.0.0.1:42101` and
your test request is executed against your application, using `requests-async`.
The `test_client` methods accept the following arguments and keyword arguments:
- `uri` *(default `'/'`)* A string representing the URI to test.
- `gather_request` *(default `True`)* A boolean which determines whether the
original request will be returned by the function. If set to `True`, the
return value is a tuple of `(request, response)`, if `False` only the
response is returned.
- `server_kwargs` *(default `{}`) a dict of additional arguments to pass into `app.run` before the test request is run.
- `debug` *(default `False`)* A boolean which determines whether to run the server in debug mode.
The function further takes the `*request_args` and `**request_kwargs`, which are passed directly to the request.
For example, to supply data to a GET request, you would do the following:
```python
def test_get_request_includes_data():
params = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
request, response = app.test_client.get('/', params=params)
assert request.args.get('key1') == 'value1'
```
And to supply data to a JSON POST request:
```python
def test_post_json_request_includes_data():
data = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
request, response = app.test_client.post('/', data=json.dumps(data))
assert request.json.get('key1') == 'value1'
```
More information about
the available arguments to `requests-async` can be found
[in the documentation for `requests`](https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/).
## Using a random port
If you need to test using a free unpriveleged port chosen by the kernel
instead of the default with `SanicTestClient`, you can do so by specifying
`port=None`. On most systems the port will be in the range 1024 to 65535.
```python
# Import the Sanic app, usually created with Sanic(__name__)
from external_server import app
from sanic.testing import SanicTestClient
def test_index_returns_200():
request, response = SanicTestClient(app, port=None).get('/')
assert response.status == 200
```
## pytest-sanic
[pytest-sanic](https://github.com/yunstanford/pytest-sanic) is a pytest plugin, it helps you to test your code asynchronously.
Just write tests like,
```python
async def test_sanic_db_find_by_id(app):
"""
Let's assume that, in db we have,
{
"id": "123",
"name": "Kobe Bryant",
"team": "Lakers",
}
"""
doc = await app.db["players"].find_by_id("123")
assert doc.name == "Kobe Bryant"
assert doc.team == "Lakers"
```
[pytest-sanic](https://github.com/yunstanford/pytest-sanic) also provides some useful fixtures, like loop, unused_port,
test_server, test_client.
```python
@pytest.yield_fixture
def app():
app = Sanic("test_sanic_app")
@app.route("/test_get", methods=['GET'])
async def test_get(request):
return response.json({"GET": True})
@app.route("/test_post", methods=['POST'])
async def test_post(request):
return response.json({"POST": True})
yield app
@pytest.fixture
def test_cli(loop, app, test_client):
return loop.run_until_complete(test_client(app, protocol=WebSocketProtocol))
