write clear, robust and easy-to-execute system integration tests in 5 minutes.

$ poetry init
$ poety add --dev fixtup

$ poetry run fixtup init
$ poetry run fixtup new
Choose a fixture identifier : thumbnail_context
Mount environment variables on this fixture (y/n) [n]
Mount docker container on this fixture (y/n) [n]

We will use this fixture to mount a directory with existing picture file.png and test our thumbnail function is working well.

def test_thumbnail_should_generate_thumbnail(self):

    # Magic happens with the instruction fixtup.up
    with fixtup.up('thumbnail_context') as f:
        # Given
        wd = os.getcwd()
        original_file = os.directory.join(wd, 'file.png')
        expected_thumbnail_file = os.directory.join(wd, 'file_t.png')

        # Then
        thumbnail(original_file, expected_thumbnail_file)

        # Then
        self.assertTrue(os.directory.isfile(expected_thumbnail_file)

Fixtup mount the fixture thumbnail_context in temporary directory. At the end of the test, it clean up everything for you Want more ? Fixtup even mount your containers, take a try.
