""" The functions in this module can be used for testing that the constraints of your models. Each assert function runs SQL UPDATEs that check for the existence of given constraint. Consider the following model:: class User(Base): __tablename__ = 'user' id = sa.Column(sa.Integer, primary_key=True) name = sa.Column(sa.String(200), nullable=True) email = sa.Column(sa.String(255), nullable=False) user = User(name='John Doe', email='john@example.com') session.add(user) session.commit() We can easily test the constraints by assert_* functions:: from sqlalchemy_utils import ( assert_nullable, assert_non_nullable, assert_max_length ) assert_nullable(user, 'name') assert_non_nullable(user, 'email') assert_max_length(user, 'name', 200) # raises AssertionError because the max length of email is 255 assert_max_length(user, 'email', 300) """ import sqlalchemy as sa from sqlalchemy.exc import DataError, IntegrityError class raises(object): def __init__(self, expected_exc): self.expected_exc = expected_exc def __enter__(self): return self def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb): if exc_type != self.expected_exc: return False return True def _update_field(obj, field, value): session = sa.orm.object_session(obj) table = sa.inspect(obj.__class__).columns[field].table query = table.update().values(**{field: value}) session.execute(query) session.flush() def assert_nullable(obj, column): """ Assert that given column is nullable.
