Test Coverage

To contribute to Pika, please make sure that any new features or changes to existing functionality include test coverage.

Pull requests that add or change code without coverage have a much lower chance of being accepted.

Prerequisites

Pika test suite has a couple of requirements:

• Dependencies from test-dependencies.txt are installed
• A RabbitMQ node with all defaults is running on localhost:5672

Installing Dependencies

To install the dependencies needed to run Pika tests, use

pip install -r test-requirements.txt

which on Python 3 might look like this

pip3 install -r test-requirements.txt

Running Tests

To run all test suites, use

nosetests

Note that some tests are OS-specific (e.g. epoll on Linux or kqueue on MacOS and BSD). Those will be skipped automatically.

Code Formatting

Please format your code using yapf with google style prior to issuing your pull request.
