import unittest

from everett.manager import ConfigManager, config_override


class App:
    def __init__(self):
        config = ConfigManager.basic_config()
        self.debug = config("debug", default="False", parser=bool)


class TestDebug(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_debug_on(self):
        with config_override(DEBUG="on"):
            app = App()
            self.assertTrue(app.debug)

    def test_debug_off(self):
        with config_override(DEBUG="off"):
            app = App()
            self.assertFalse(app.debug)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

everett.manager.config_override(**cfg)

Allow you to override config for writing tests.

This can be used as a class decorator:

@config_override(FOO="bar", BAZ="bat")
class FooTestClass(object):
    ...

This can be used as a function decorator:

@config_override(FOO="bar")
def test_foo():
    ...

This can also be used as a context manager:

def test_foo():
    with config_override(FOO="bar"):
        ...
