- ::
app = load_test_app(‘path/to/some/config.py’)
resp = app.get(‘/path/to/some/resource’).status_int assert resp.status_int == 200
resp = app.post(‘/path/to/some/resource’, params={‘param’: ‘value’}) assert resp.status_int == 302
Alternatively you could call
load_test_app
with no parameters if the environment variable is setapp = load_test_app() resp = app.get('/path/to/some/resource').status_int assert resp.status_int == 200
