Flask test with test files

Well I started to test my API with:



import unittest
from app import app


class FlaskTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

def test_testing_function(self):
tester = app.test_client(self)
response = tester.get('/testing_route', content_type='/html/text')
self.assertEqual(response.json, {"Test":"correct"})


On a test_app.py file (already I've the main app.py located in the same dir).



My problem is that I use certain files (i.e dataframe.csv) that are being read by app.py.



So, when I use app.py, it launches correctly and read dataframe.csv but, when I start the test, it fails with FileNotFoundError.

  • It sounds like you need to mock out the code that is trying to read dataframe.csv. Are you able to post the relevant code that reads the file?
