Integration tests - Backend

What is the role of integration tests?

Integration tests verify the correctness of the main application scenarios. Thanks to these tests, Backend developers can be confident in changes to the codebase.

WARNING

The test scenarios validate only the business logic; they do not attempt to verify how any specific API layer works.

Run

1. Configure additional Backend ENV variables:

   Backend variable	What it does
   PU_TEST_INTEGRATION_CLEAR_DATA	Deletes all test-related data at the beginning and the end of the test. If set to False, the data will not be deleted at the end of the test — useful for debugging.
   PU_TEST_INTEGRATION_PRIVATE_REPO_JSON	Points to private repositories in GitLab and GitHub. The structure of these repos is the same as for public ones; links to them are specified in tests.integration.conftest.py.

2. Start the Backend using one of the commands below; the number of workers can be arbitrary:

   uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8555 --log-level info --workers 4
   gunicorn app.main:app -b 0.0.0.0:8555 --workers=4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker --log-level=info

3. Run integration tests with:

   pytest tests -v
