Why you should multi-line parameter arguments

Parameters in "paragraph" style: 🚫 (BAD FOR DIFF)

Old:

def my_method(this, method, takes, a, bunch, 
              of, parameters):

New:

def my_method(this, method, now, takes,
 a, bunch, of, different, parameters):

Some thoughts on testing
  • Tests should be "stupid"
    • Don't include complex logic
  • Tests should be easy to understand
    • Give your tests descriptive names
    • Ask "will the person who sees this test fail understand why it's failing?"
  • Tests should not be DRY
  • Easy-to-test code is good code / Hard-to-test code is bad code
    • your tests should instruct your feature code
~good test~

A method-naming flow chart

because there's so much more than "get"

Is your method retrieving a record(s) from a data source? (e.g., a database or external service, or making a GET request)

get_*
fetch_*

Is your method creating a new record in a data source?

Some pytest notes

mocking

mock.Mock() is great. It's the reason that I use Python for small side projects - it makes unit testing a breeze. But over-reliance on mock objects for testing can obscure the meaning of your test (at best), and (at worst) it can create bugs in your test code.

  1. Use spec_set when creating object fakes.
  2. Use autospec=True when stubbing method functionality.

fixtures

Similar to mock.Mock(), Pytest fixtures (functions defined with the decorator @pytest.fixture()) can be super handy for writing unit tests, but if they are overused, they can obscure the meaning of what you're testing.

Some issues with fixtures:
