2 | | -Pytest plugin to capture coverage of api endpoints |
| 1 | +# pytest-api-cov |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +A **pytest plugin** that measures **API endpoint coverage** for FastAPI and Flask applications. Know which endpoints are tested and which are missing coverage. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Features |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- **Zero Configuration**: Plug-and-play with Flask/FastAPI apps - just install and run |
| 8 | +- **Terminal Reports**: Rich terminal output with detailed coverage information |
| 9 | +- **JSON Reports**: Export coverage data for CI/CD integration |
| 10 | +- **Setup Wizard**: Interactive setup wizard for complex projects |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Quick Start |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### Installation |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +```bash |
| 17 | +pip install pytest-api-cov |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### Basic Usage |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +For most projects, no configuration is needed: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```bash |
| 25 | +# Just add the flag to your pytest command |
| 26 | +pytest --api-cov-report |
| 27 | +``` |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +The plugin will automatically discover your Flask/FastAPI app if it's in common locations: |
| 30 | +- `app.py` (with variable `app`, `application`, or `main`) |
| 31 | +- `main.py` (with variable `app`, `application`, or `main`) |
| 32 | +- `server.py` (with variable `app`, `application`, or `server`) |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### Example |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Given this FastAPI app in `app.py`: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```python |
| 39 | +from fastapi import FastAPI |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +app = FastAPI() |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +@app.get("/") |
| 44 | +def read_root(): |
| 45 | + return {"message": "Hello World"} |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +@app.get("/users/{user_id}") |
| 48 | +def get_user(user_id: int): |
| 49 | + return {"user_id": user_id} |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +@app.get("/health") |
| 52 | +def health_check(): |
| 53 | + return {"status": "ok"} |
| 54 | +``` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +And this test file: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +```python |
| 59 | +def test_root_endpoint(client): |
| 60 | + response = client.get("/") |
| 61 | + assert response.status_code == 200 |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +def test_get_user(client): |
| 64 | + response = client.get("/users/123") |
| 65 | + assert response.status_code == 200 |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Running `pytest --api-cov-report` produces: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | +API Coverage Report |
| 72 | +Uncovered Endpoints: |
| 73 | + [X] /health |
| 74 | +
|
| 75 | +Total API Coverage: 66.67% |
| 76 | +``` |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +## Advanced Configuration |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +### Setup Wizard |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +If auto-discovery doesn't work for your project, use the interactive setup wizard: |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +```bash |
| 85 | +pytest-api-cov init |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +This will: |
| 89 | +- Detect your framework and app location |
| 90 | +- Create a `conftest.py` fixture if needed |
| 91 | +- Generate suggested `pyproject.toml` configuration |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +### Manual Configuration |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +Create a `conftest.py` file: |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +```python |
| 98 | +import pytest |
| 99 | +from your_app import app |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +@pytest.fixture |
| 102 | +def app(): |
| 103 | + return app |
| 104 | +``` |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +### Configuration Options |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +Add configuration to your `pyproject.toml`: |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +```toml |
| 111 | +[tool.pytest_api_cov] |
| 112 | +# Fail if coverage is below this percentage |
| 113 | +fail_under = 80.0 |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +# Control what's shown in reports |
| 116 | +show_uncovered_endpoints = true |
| 117 | +show_covered_endpoints = false |
| 118 | +show_excluded_endpoints = false |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +# Exclude endpoints from coverage using simple wildcard patterns |
| 121 | +# Use * for wildcard matching, all other characters are matched literally |
| 122 | +exclusion_patterns = [ |
| 123 | + "/health", # Exact match |
| 124 | + "/metrics", # Exact match |
| 125 | + "/docs/*", # Wildcard: matches /docs/swagger, /docs/openapi, etc. |
| 126 | + "/admin/*", # Wildcard: matches all admin endpoints |
| 127 | + "/api/v1.0/*" # Exact version match (won't match /api/v1x0/*) |
| 128 | +] |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +# Save detailed JSON report |
| 131 | +report_path = "api_coverage.json" |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +# Force Unicode symbols in output |
| 134 | +force_sugar = true |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +# Force no Unicode symbols in output |
| 137 | +force_sugar_disabled = true |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### Command Line Options |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +```bash |
| 143 | +# Basic coverage report |
| 144 | +pytest --api-cov-report |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +# Set coverage threshold to fail test session |
| 147 | +pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-fail-under=80 |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +# Show covered endpoints |
| 150 | +pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-show-covered-endpoints |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +# Show excluded endpoints |
| 153 | +pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-show-excluded-endpoints |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +# Hide uncovered endpoints |
| 156 | +pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-show-uncovered-endpoints=false |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +# Save JSON report |
| 159 | +pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-report-path=api_coverage.json |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +# Exclude specific endpoints (supports wildcards) |
| 162 | +pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-exclusion-patterns="/health" --api-cov-exclusion-patterns="/docs/*" |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +# Verbose logging (shows discovery process) |
| 165 | +pytest --api-cov-report -v |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +# Debug logging (very detailed) |
| 168 | +pytest --api-cov-report -vv |
| 169 | +``` |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +## Framework Support |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +Works automatically with FastAPI and Flask applications. |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +### FastAPI |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +```python |
| 178 | +from fastapi import FastAPI |
| 179 | +from fastapi.testclient import TestClient |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +app = FastAPI() |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +@app.get("/items/{item_id}") |
| 184 | +def read_item(item_id: int): |
| 185 | + return {"item_id": item_id} |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +# Tests automatically get a 'client' fixture |
| 188 | +def test_read_item(client): |
| 189 | + response = client.get("/items/42") |
| 190 | + assert response.status_code == 200 |
| 191 | +``` |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +### Flask |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +```python |
| 196 | +from flask import Flask |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +app = Flask(__name__) |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +@app.route("/users/<int:user_id>") |
| 201 | +def get_user(user_id): |
| 202 | + return {"user_id": user_id} |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +# Tests automatically get a 'client' fixture |
| 205 | +def test_get_user(client): |
| 206 | + response = client.get("/users/123") |
| 207 | + assert response.status_code == 200 |
| 208 | +``` |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +## Parallel Testing |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +pytest-api-cov fully supports pytest-xdist for parallel test execution: |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +```bash |
| 215 | +# Run tests in parallel with coverage |
| 216 | +pytest --api-cov-report -n auto |
| 217 | +``` |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +Coverage data is automatically collected from all worker processes and merged in the final report. |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +## JSON Report Format |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +When using `--api-cov-report-path`, the plugin generates a detailed JSON report: |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +```json |
| 226 | +{ |
| 227 | + "status": 0, |
| 228 | + "coverage": 66.67, |
| 229 | + "required_coverage": 80.0, |
| 230 | + "total_endpoints": 3, |
| 231 | + "covered_count": 2, |
| 232 | + "uncovered_count": 1, |
| 233 | + "excluded_count": 0, |
| 234 | + "detail": [ |
| 235 | + { |
| 236 | + "endpoint": "/", |
| 237 | + "callers": ["test_root_endpoint"] |
| 238 | + }, |
| 239 | + { |
| 240 | + "endpoint": "/users/{user_id}", |
| 241 | + "callers": ["test_get_user"] |
| 242 | + }, |
| 243 | + { |
| 244 | + "endpoint": "/health", |
| 245 | + "callers": [] |
| 246 | + } |
| 247 | + ] |
| 248 | +} |
| 249 | +``` |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +## CI/CD Integration |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +### Fail on Low Coverage |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +```bash |
| 256 | +# Fail the build if coverage is below 80% |
| 257 | +pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-fail-under=80 |
| 258 | +``` |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +### GitHub Actions Example |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +```yaml |
| 263 | +name: API Coverage |
| 264 | +on: [push, pull_request] |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +jobs: |
| 267 | + test: |
| 268 | + runs-on: ubuntu-latest |
| 269 | + steps: |
| 270 | + - uses: actions/checkout@v4 |
| 271 | + - uses: actions/setup-python@v4 |
| 272 | + with: |
| 273 | + python-version: '3.12' |
| 274 | + - run: pip install pytest pytest-api-cov |
| 275 | + - run: pytest --api-cov-report --api-cov-fail-under=80 --api-cov-report-path=coverage.json |
| 276 | + - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4 |
| 277 | + with: |
| 278 | + name: api-coverage-report |
| 279 | + path: coverage.json |
| 280 | +``` |
| 281 | +
|
| 282 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 283 | +
|
| 284 | +### No App Found |
| 285 | +
|
| 286 | +If you see "No API app found", ensure: |
| 287 | +
|
| 288 | +1. Your app is in a standard location (`app.py`, `main.py`, etc.) |
| 289 | +2. Your app variable has a standard name (`app`, `application`, `main`) |
| 290 | +3. Your app imports are correct (`from fastapi import FastAPI` or `from flask import Flask`) |
| 291 | + |
| 292 | +Or use the setup wizard: `pytest-api-cov init` |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +### No Endpoints Discovered |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | +If you see "No endpoints discovered": |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | +1. Check that your app is properly instantiated |
| 299 | +2. Verify your routes/endpoints are defined |
| 300 | +3. Ensure the `client` fixture is working in your tests |
| 301 | +4. Use `-v` or `-vv` for debug information |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +### Framework Not Detected |
| 304 | + |
| 305 | +The plugin supports: |
| 306 | +- **FastAPI**: Detected by `from fastapi import` or `import fastapi` |
| 307 | +- **Flask**: Detected by `from flask import` or `import flask` |
| 308 | + |
