What are the basics of testing in Flask?

Flask testing involves using the built-in test client to simulate requests and check responses. Would you like to know more about setting it up?

Yes, how do I set up the test client?

You can set up the test client by importing your Flask app and using app.test_client(). This allows you to make requests to your application.

Can you show me an example of a simple test?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import unittest
from yourapp import app

class BasicTests(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.app = app.test_client()
        self.app.testing = True

    def test_home(self):
        response = self.app.get('/')
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)

What should I do if my tests fail?

If your tests fail, check the error messages for clues. It might be due to incorrect routes, missing data, or logic errors in your code.
