DuckDB npm Account Compromised in Continuing Supply Chain Attack
Ongoing npm supply chain attack spreads to DuckDB: multiple packages compromised with the same wallet-drainer malware.
Handy assertion utilities for use with pytest
pip install pytest-assert-utils
def assert_dict_is_subset(subset, superset, recursive=True)
Assert subset
is a non-strict subset of superset
If this assertion fails, a pretty diff will be printed by pytest.
>>> from pytest_assert_utils import assert_dict_is_subset
>>> expected = {'a': 12}
>>> actual = {'b': 20, 'a': 12}
>>> assert_dict_is_subset(expected, actual)
>>> expected = {'a': 12}
>>> actual = {'b': 50000}
>>> assert_dict_is_subset(expected, actual)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError
def assert_model_attrs(instance, _d=UNSET, **attrs)
Assert a model instance has the specified attr values
May be passed a dict of attrs, or kwargs as attrs
>>> from pytest_assert_utils import assert_model_attrs
>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Model = namedtuple('Model', 'id,key,other_key,parent', defaults=(None,)*4)
>>> assert_model_attrs(Model(), {})
>>> assert_model_attrs(Model(key='value'), {'key': 'value'})
>>> assert_model_attrs(Model(key='value'), key='value')
>>> assert_model_attrs(Model(key='value'), key='not the value')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError
>>> assert_model_attrs(Model(key='value', other_key='other_value'), key='value')
