PyTest-Cobra

PyTest plugin for testing Smart Contracts for Ethereum blockchain.

Dependency

This library requires the solc executable to be present.

Only versions >=0.4.2 are supported and tested though this library may work with other versions.

solc installation instructions

Install Solidity compiler (solc) using Node Package Manager(npm)

npm install -g solc

or for Ubuntu(Linux)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install solc

Quickstart

Installation

pip install pytest-cobra

Development

Clone the repository and then run

pip install -e . -r requirements.txt

Usage

Execute your test suite

Example MetaCoin picture

# MetaCoin Testing

# cobra is pytest fixture
def test_metacoin(cobra):

    # Getting Contract Factory by name
    metacoin = cobra.contract('MetaCoin')
    
    # Getting Contract Instance of MetaCoin
    metacoin = metacoin.deploy()

    assert metacoin.getBalance(cobra.accounts[0]) == 10000

Running test from Solidity file (.sol)

pytest --cobra MetaCoin.sol

Optional commands

Import path remappings

solc provides path aliasing allow you to have more reusable project configurations.

pytest --cobra MetaCoin.sol --import_remappings ["zeppeling=/my-zeppelin-checkout-folder"]

Allow paths

pytest --cobra MetaCoin.sol --allow_paths "/home/meheret,/user,/"

Running test from compiled Contracts Json file (.json)

Compile your contracts into a package (soon to be ethPM-compliant)

solc --combined-json abi,bin,bin-runtime contracts/ > MetaCoin.json

Testing Contracts.json

pytest --cobra MetaCoin.json

Running test from Yaml file (.yaml)

Comming Soon with Cobra Framework
