https://github.com/ametaireau/pants-server/blob/master/tests/test_functional.py is an attempt at functional testing the service.

This is testing at the HTTP layer without actually making real HTTP calls (it stops at the python wsgi level).

We can turn these into real http calls to a real service if we want at some stage. It's also possible to turn them into load test pretty simply if we want to do that).

I'm unclear why we're keeping this as a separate bug. Each feature will add functional tests so I'm not sure we're actually tracking anything with this?

Adam, can you clarify?

I talked briefly with Adam.  He wants to look at the whole picture to verify that we have bugs tracking all our testing needs.  In the process, he may close this.

Taking this. I've got a local prototype working. Still need some love though.

Comment 5

[Alexis Metaireau (:alexis)]

Uh. I've read load testing, not functional testing. My bad.

Server is already fully functionally tested. I guess we can close this.

Yes. Verified on localhost with Redis running.
