Introduction
collective.MockMailHost
enables integration testing of email functionality
from Plone_. Simply add this egg to your [test] runner section, and install
this product through your Layer
or TestCase
.
Note
THIS IS FOR TESTING PURPOSE ONLY, do not use this product on your
running Plone site. It replaces the standard MailHost with a Mock
MailHost that you can poke at to check email content and recipients.
Has been tested with Plone 4 but should also work with earlier versions.
Integration
Example how to integrate collective.MockMailHost
to your testing setup
based on plone.app.testing
_. Add the package to your extras_requires section
in your package's setup.py
file, so buildout will automatically download
the package for you.::
setup(name='my.package',
...
extras_require={
'test': [
'plone.app.testing',
'collective.MockMailHost',
]
},
...
)
Your test layer setup could look like this example below::
from plone.app.testing import helpers, layers
from plone.testing import z2
class MyLayer(helpers.PloneSandboxLayer):
defaultBases = (layers.PLONE_FIXTURE, )
def setUpZope(self, app, configurationContext):
# Load zcml
import collective.MockMailHost
self.loadZCML(package=collective.MockMailHost)
# Install product and call its initialize() function
z2.installProduct(app, 'collective.MockMailHost')
# Note: you can skip this if my.product is not a Zope 2-style
# product, i.e. it is not in the Products.* namespace and it
# does not have a <five:registerPackage /> directive in its
# configure.zcml.
def tearDownZope(self, app):
# Uninstall product
z2.uninstallProduct(app, 'collective.MockMailHost')
# Note: Again, you can skip this if my.product is not a Zope 2-
# style product
def setUpPloneSite(self, portal):
helpers.quickInstallProduct(portal, 'collective.MockMailHost')
helpers.applyProfile(portal, 'collective.MockMailHost:default')
MY_FIXTURE = MyLayer()

Using a member-posting forum
>>> from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName
>>> from Products.MailHost.interfaces import IMailHost
>>> from zope.component import getUtility
>>> app = layer['app']
>>> portal = layer['portal']
Test starting conversations, replying and modifying comments in a default
member-posting forum.
Let us log all exceptions, which is useful for debugging. Also, clear portlet
slots, to make the test browser less confused by things like the recent portlet
and the navtree.
>>> portal.error_log._ignored_exceptions = ()
>>> portal.left_slots = portal.right_slots = []
>>> workflow = portal.portal_workflow
Validate mailhost replacement
>>> portal.MailHost
<collective.MockMailHost.MockMailHost.MockMailHost object at ...>
>>> getToolByName(portal, 'MailHost')
<collective.MockMailHost.MockMailHost.MockMailHost object at ...>
>>> getUtility(IMailHost)
<collective.MockMailHost.MockMailHost.MockMailHost object at ...>
Send email
>>> to_ = "member@example.com"
>>> from_ = "admin@example.com"
>>> msg = """
...
... Dear Sir:
...
... Thank you"""
>>> portal.MailHost.send(msg, to_, from_)
>>> len(portal.MailHost.messages)
1
>>> b'To: member@example.com' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
True
>>> b'From: admin@example.com' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
True
>>> b'Dear Sir:' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
True
>>> portal.MailHost.messages_from
['admin@example.com']
>>> portal.MailHost.messages_to
[['member@example.com']]
>>> portal.MailHost.reset()
>>> len(portal.MailHost.messages)
0
Send an email.message.EmailMessage
object with cc/bcc recipients
>>> from email.message import EmailMessage
>>> msg = EmailMessage()
>>> msg["Subject"] = "Hello"
>>> msg["From"] = "me@example.com"
>>> msg["To"] = "you@example.com"
>>> msg["Cc"] = "foo@example.com"
>>> msg["Bcc"] = "bar@example.com"
>>> msg.set_content("""
... This message is for you, foo, and bar.
... """)
>>> portal.MailHost.send(msg)
>>> len(portal.MailHost.messages)
1
>>> b'To: you@example.com' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
True
>>> b'From: me@example.com' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
True
>>> b'Cc: foo@example.com' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
True
>>> b'bar@example.com' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
False
>>> b'This message is for you, foo, and bar.' in portal.MailHost.messages[0]
True
>>> len(portal.MailHost.messages)
1
>>> portal.MailHost.messages_from
['me@example.com']
>>> portal.MailHost.messages_to
[['you@example.com', 'foo@example.com', 'bar@example.com']]
