shelfmark/tests

Test Suite

This directory contains the test suite for Shelfmark. Tests are organized by scope and component.

Quick Start

# Sync the local Python environment once
make install-python-dev

# Run all unit tests locally (fast, no external dependencies)
uv run pytest tests/ -v -m "not integration and not e2e"

# Run Python static analysis
make python-checks

# Run E2E API tests against a running app stack
uv run pytest tests/e2e/ -v -m e2e

# Run everything except integration tests locally
uv run pytest tests/ -v -m "not integration"

Test Types

Unit Tests

Fast tests that mock external dependencies. Run these frequently during development.

uv run pytest tests/prowlarr/ -v -m "not integration"

What they test:

• Download client logic (status mapping, URL handling, error cases)
• Bencode encoding/decoding for torrent files
• Hash extraction from magnet links and .torrent files
• Protocol detection (torrent vs usenet)
• Release cache operations
• Handler download flow logic
• User database (CRUD, settings, OIDC subject linking)
• OIDC authentication (group claims, user provisioning, route handlers)
• Admin user management API (create, update, delete, password, per-user settings)
• Multi-user download queue filtering and per-user overrides
• Settings configuration (OIDC fields, show_when conditions)

E2E Tests

Test the full application through its HTTP API. Require the app to be running.

uv run pytest tests/e2e/ -v -m e2e

What they test:

• Health check endpoint
• Configuration endpoint
• Metadata provider search (Hardcover, etc.)
• Release source listing
• Download queue operations (add, cancel, reorder, clear)
• Settings API
• Prowlarr integration

Integration Tests

Test against real services (qBittorrent, Transmission, etc.). Require the full Docker test stack.

# Start the test stack first
docker compose -f docker-compose.test-clients.yml up -d

# Run integration tests
docker compose -f docker-compose.test-clients.yml exec shelfmark uv run pytest tests/prowlarr/ -v -m integration

What they test:

• Real connections to download clients
• Adding/removing actual torrents
• Status polling from real clients

Test Markers

Marker	Description	When to Skip
integration	Requires running services (qBittorrent, etc.)	Default skip with -m "not integration"
e2e	End-to-end API tests	When app isn't running
slow	Tests that take longer (network calls, polling)	Quick feedback with -m "not slow"

Common Commands

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/prowlarr/test_clients.py -v

# Run specific test class
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_api.py::TestHealthEndpoint -v

# Run specific test
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_api.py::TestHealthEndpoint::test_health_returns_ok -v

# Run with short traceback (cleaner output)
uv run pytest tests/ -v --tb=short -m "not integration"

# Run and stop on first failure
uv run pytest tests/ -v -x -m "not integration"

# Run with coverage (if pytest-cov installed)
uv run pytest tests/ --cov=shelfmark -m "not integration"

Writing New Tests

Unit Test Example

from unittest.mock import MagicMock, patch

class TestMyFeature:
    def test_something(self, monkeypatch):
        # Mock config values
        monkeypatch.setattr(
            "shelfmark.module.config.get",
            lambda key, default="": {"KEY": "value"}.get(key, default),
        )

        # Test your code
        result = my_function()
        assert result == expected

E2E Test Example

import pytest
from .conftest import APIClient, DownloadTracker

@pytest.mark.e2e
class TestMyEndpoint:
    def test_endpoint_works(self, protected_api_client: APIClient):
        resp = protected_api_client.get("/api/my-endpoint")
        assert resp.status_code == 200

    def test_with_cleanup(
        self,
        protected_api_client: APIClient,
        download_tracker: DownloadTracker,
    ):
        # Track IDs for automatic cleanup after test
        download_tracker.track("some-id")
        # ... test code ...

Test Fixtures

E2E Fixtures (tests/e2e/conftest.py)

Fixture	Scope	Description
api_client	function	Fresh HTTP client for general E2E calls
protected_api_client	function	Authenticated client for protected-route E2Es
download_tracker	function	Tracks downloads for cleanup
server_config	session	Cached server configuration

Prowlarr Fixtures (tests/prowlarr/conftest.py)

Fixture	Scope	Description
transmission_client	module	Real Transmission client (integration)
qbittorrent_client	module	Real qBittorrent client (integration)
deluge_client	module	Real Deluge client (integration)
nzbget_client	module	Real NZBGet client (integration)
sabnzbd_client	module	Real SABnzbd client (integration)

Expected Skips

Some tests skip when external services aren't available. This is normal:

• "No metadata providers available" - Metadata provider not responding
• "Prowlarr not configured" - Prowlarr settings not set up
• "No releases found" - No indexers configured in Prowlarr
• "Legacy search source unavailable" - Direct download source offline
• "Transmission/qBittorrent not available" - Docker test stack not running

Troubleshooting

Tests can't connect to app

# Check the app/container is running
docker ps

# Check app logs
docker logs <your-shelfmark-container>

Import errors

# Sync the local Python environment first
uv sync --locked --extra browser

# Then run tests from the repo root
uv run pytest ...

Integration tests failing

# Make sure test stack is running
docker compose -f docker-compose.test-clients.yml up -d

# Check client containers
docker ps | grep -E "qbittorrent|transmission|deluge|nzbget|sabnzbd"

Stale test data

Restart the container to reset the in-memory queue between test runs:

docker restart <your-shelfmark-container>
