Testing – Contentstack Management Python

When to use

Adding or changing tests under tests/.
Debugging API vs mock failures; improving tests/cred.py usage.

Instructions

Runner and tooling

Suite	Path	Notes
Unit	`tests/unit/**`	Fast, isolated; primary CI target
API	`tests/api/**`	Live CMA — `.env` via `tests/cred.py`
Mock	`tests/mock/**`	Mocked HTTP / contracts

Goal	Command
Unit (CI-style)	`pytest tests/unit/ -v` or `coverage run -m pytest tests/unit/`
API (live CMA)	`pytest tests/api/ -v`
Mock	`pytest tests/mock/ -v`
Full tree	`pytest tests/ -v`

Environment (tests/cred.py)

get_credentials() loads dotenv and returns host, tokens, and resource UIDs.
Common vars: HOST, APIKEY, AUTHTOKEN, MANAGEMENT_TOKEN, ORG_UID, plus resource UIDs as tests require.
Use a .env at repo root for local API runs; never commit secrets.

Hygiene

No committed secrets; use placeholders or env-only values for CI.
Avoid leaving pytest.skip or focused-only tests enabled in paths meant for full suite runs unless intentional.
