Integration tests?

[thekaveman]

We definitely need tests for things like querying and upserting. But what is the best way to go about this?

soda-java uses a live sandbox site with a test account that appears to have both read and write permissions.

RSocrata uses a different demo site but only does consumer tests.

Are we allowed to use one or both of these demo sites? What about the test account for publishing?

Tests should cover real world usage of the following:

SodaClient

• GetMetadata
• GetMetadataPage
• GetResource
• Upsert *
• BatchUpsert *
• Replace *
• DeleteRow *

ResourceMetadata

• Update *

Resource

• Query
• GetRows
• GetRow
• Upsert *
• BatchUpsert *
• Replace *
• DeleteRow *

***** will require authentication with publisher (write) permissions

@chrismetcalf can you or someone from Socrata comment on the demo sites I linked above? Are these open to the community, for e.g. writing tests against?

[thekaveman]

@chrismetcalf any word on the demo Socrata sites, and using them for integration testing endpoints?

[chrismetcalf]

@thekaveman To test out writes, the best option is to use opendata.socrata.com, where your account will have both read and write access.

@chrismetcalf Thanks!

No problem! Sorry for the delay!
