🔍 Code Extractor

A test function that initializes an EmailHandler instance and verifies it can retrieve statistics, printing success or failure messages.

Purpose

This function serves as a unit test or diagnostic check to validate that the EmailHandler class can be properly instantiated and that its get_stats() method works correctly. It's typically used during development, testing, or system health checks to ensure the email handling component is functioning properly.

Source Code

def test_email_handler():
    """Test email handler initialization."""
    print("Testing email handler...")
    
    try:
        handler = EmailHandler()
        stats = handler.get_stats()
        print(f"✓ Email handler initialized. Stats: {stats}")
        return True
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Email handler error: {e}")
        return False

Return Value

Returns a boolean value: True if the EmailHandler initializes successfully and get_stats() executes without errors, False if any exception occurs during initialization or stats retrieval.

Dependencies

• logging
• pathlib
• sys
• os

Required Imports

from forwarder.email_handler import EmailHandler

Usage Example

from forwarder.email_handler import EmailHandler

def test_email_handler():
    """Test email handler initialization."""
    print("Testing email handler...")
    
    try:
        handler = EmailHandler()
        stats = handler.get_stats()
        print(f"✓ Email handler initialized. Stats: {stats}")
        return True
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"✗ Email handler error: {e}")
        return False

# Run the test
if __name__ == "__main__":
    result = test_email_handler()
    if result:
        print("Test passed!")
    else:
        print("Test failed!")

Best Practices

• This function should be run in an environment where all EmailHandler dependencies are properly configured
• Ensure the EmailHandler class and its dependencies are available before calling this function
• The function prints to stdout, so it's best used in testing/debugging contexts rather than production code
• Consider using proper testing frameworks (pytest, unittest) instead of standalone test functions for production test suites
• The broad exception catching may hide specific initialization issues; consider logging the full traceback for debugging
• This function has no parameters, making it inflexible; consider parameterizing it to test different configurations
