Testing

This project includes a comprehensive test suite for the weather service API. The tests use pytest and pytest-asyncio to test the asynchronous functions that interact with the National Weather Service API.

Test Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• pytest
• pytest-asyncio
• pytest-cov
• httpx

Installing Development Dependencies

You can install all development dependencies using:

# Using uv
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Or using pip
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Running the Tests

To run the tests:

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with verbose output
pytest -v

# Run with code coverage
pytest --cov=weather

Test Coverage

The test suite covers:

1. Unit Tests for Helper Functions

   • format_alert function for formatting alert data
   • Error handling in make_nws_request

2. API Function Tests

   • get_alerts: Testing successful retrieval, empty results, and API failures
   • get_forecast: Testing successful forecast retrieval and error handling for both API endpoints

3. Mock Responses

   • All HTTP requests are mocked using httpx.AsyncMock
   • Multiple test scenarios with different API responses

Continuous Integration

When adding new features to the weather service, please ensure all tests pass by running the test suite before submitting changes.
