Django RESTful Web Services

By: Gaston C. Hillar

Overview of this book

Django is a Python web framework that makes the web development process very easy. It reduces the amount of trivial code, which simplifies the creation of web applications and results in faster development. It is very powerful and a great choice for creating RESTful web services. If you are a Python developer and want to efficiently create RESTful web services with Django for your apps, then this is the right book for you. The book starts off by showing you how to install and configure the environment, required software, and tools to create RESTful web services with Django and the Django REST framework. We then move on to working with advanced serialization and migrations to interact with SQLite and non-SQL data sources. We will use the features included in the Django REST framework to improve our simple web service. Further, we will create API views to process diverse HTTP requests on objects, go through relationships and hyperlinked API management, and then discover the necessary steps to include security and permissions related to data models and APIs. We will also apply throttling rules and run tests to check that versioning works as expected. Next we will run automated tests to improve code coverage. By the end of the book, you will be able to build RESTful web services with Django.

Preface

Running unit tests again with pytest


Now, go to the restful01 folder that contains the manage.py file, with the virtual environment activated, and run the following command to execute pytest again with the -v option to increase verbosity:

pytest -v

In this case, pytest will run all the methods whose name starts with the test_ prefix in both the DroneCategoryTests and PilotTests classes and display the results.

The following screenshot shows a sample output generated for the new execution of the pytest command with the increased verbosity:

We enabled verbose mode again, and therefore, the output displayed the full test names that the test_post_and_get_pilot and test_try_to_post_pilot_without_token test methods passed.

We should continue writing tests related to pilots, drone categories, drones, and competitions. It is extremely important that we cover all the scenarios for our RESTful Web Service. Automated tests will make it possible for us to make sure that each new version of our RESTful Web...
