🔍 Code Extractor

A test class for validating the functionality of the SmtpServer class, including server startup, email handling, email forwarding, and error handling for invalid inputs.

Purpose

This test class provides comprehensive unit tests for the SmtpServer component. It verifies that the SMTP server can be started correctly, handles incoming emails properly, forwards emails as expected, and raises appropriate errors for invalid inputs. The tests use mocking to isolate the SmtpServer behavior from actual SMTP connections.

Source Code

class TestSmtpServer(TestCase):

    @patch('forwarder.smtp_server.SMTP')
    def test_start_server(self, mock_smtp):
        server = SmtpServer()
        server.start()
        mock_smtp.assert_called_once_with(('localhost', 1025))

    @patch('forwarder.smtp_server.SMTP')
    def test_handle_email(self, mock_smtp):
        server = SmtpServer()
        mock_email = MagicMock()
        server.handle_email(mock_email)
        # Add assertions to verify email handling logic

    @patch('forwarder.smtp_server.SMTP')
    def test_forward_email(self, mock_smtp):
        server = SmtpServer()
        mock_email = MagicMock()
        server.forward_email(mock_email)
        # Add assertions to verify email forwarding logic

    def test_invalid_email(self):
        server = SmtpServer()
        with self.assertRaises(ValueError):
            server.handle_email(None)  # Assuming None is invalid input

Parameters

Parameter Details

bases: Inherits from unittest.TestCase, which provides the testing framework and assertion methods for unit testing

Return Value

As a test class, it does not return values directly. Each test method either passes silently or raises an AssertionError if the test fails. The test runner collects and reports the results of all test methods.

from forwarder.smtp_server import SmtpServer

class TestSmtpServer(TestCase):
    @patch('forwarder.smtp_server.SMTP')
    def test_start_server(self, mock_smtp):
        server = SmtpServer()
        server.start()

    unittest.main()

Best Practices

• This is a test class and should be run using a test runner like unittest, pytest, or nose
• Each test method is independent and uses mocking to avoid actual SMTP connections
• Tests should be expanded with actual assertions in test_handle_email and test_forward_email methods
• The test class follows the Arrange-Act-Assert pattern for test structure
• Mock objects are used to isolate the SmtpServer from external dependencies
• Test methods should be named descriptively starting with 'test_' prefix
• Use setUp() and tearDown() methods if common initialization/cleanup is needed across tests
