How can I test JWT authorization in Flask-RESTful?

You can use libraries like pytest along with Flask-Testing to test JWT authorization in your Flask-RESTful app.

Can you provide a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pytest
from your_app import create_app

@pytest.fixture
def client():
    app = create_app()
    with app.test_client() as client:
        yield client

def test_jwt_authorization(client):
    # Assuming you have a function to generate a JWT token
    token = generate_jwt_token()  
    response = client.get('/protected', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'})
    assert response.status_code == 200

What if the token is invalid?

In that case, you should test for the expected error response. For example:

response = client.get('/protected', headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer invalid_token'})
assert response.status_code == 401
