Question

We’re using nose with nose-gae for unit testing our controllers and models. We now have code that hits the blob store and files API. We are having a hard time testing those due to lack of testing proxies/mocks. Is there a good way to unit tests these services or lacking unit testing is there a way to automated acceptance test those APIs? TIA.

Try something like this for the blobstorage tests:

from google.appengine.ext import testbed
from google.appengine.api.blobstore import file_blob_storage

testbed.Testbed()
testbed._blob_storage = file_blob_storage.FileBlobStorage('/tmp/', 'testing')
testbed.init_blobstore_stub()
testbed.init_files_stub()

Works well in my tests (though I don’t use nose, I use webtest).
