There are some endpoints that don't fall into the currently available
categories, so this new function will be used for calling the tests for
server and realm-related endpoints.
One of the code examples for GET /users was using the raw call_endpoint
method from our Python bindings, rather than get_members, which has been
specifically designed to interact with this endpoint.
Now all the examples here use the appropiate method.
The tests for GET /users were looking for a specific user, asuming that
it would always be in the same position. Since the users' sorting isn't
guaranteed in any way, this can lead to errors in the tests.
Now we make sure the user we grab from the list is the one we need by
checking its email address.
This is just a hotfix that addresses the short-term problem: we have
already made some efforts to make sure these tests are more
deterministic, and now we only need to finish the migration of the old
enpoints to the new system as a long-term solution.
In a few commits before this one, we just added de-duplicated
generic fixtures that apply to multiple API tests. The tests
needed to be modified to accommodate that change.
This commit adds a test for the sample fixture for when an invalid
stream name is passed to a query that expects a valid stream name
as an argument. This is the case with almost all of our queries
documented under the sidebar heading "Streams".
EDIT: Actually, I was wrong. This payload is highly specific to
get-stream-id, so it shouldn't be a part of common-error-payloads
at all.
In templates/zerver/api/delete-queue.md, we have a sample fixture
for when the queue_id passed to client.deregister_queue is not
valid or the event queue in question has already been deleted.
This commit tests that fixture.
Note that this error payload is specific to client.deregister_queue.
In templates/zerver/api/create-user.md, we have a sample fixture
for when a client attempts to create a user with the same email
as an existing user. This commit adds a test for that fixture.
Note that this error payload is specific to client.create_user
and this error payload isn't generated anywhere else.
In templates/zerver/api/add-subscriptions, we have a sample fixture
for when the user being subscribed is already subscribed to a
stream. This commit tests that fixture against a running server.
This commit adds tests for the fixture for when a user is not
authorized (perhaps because the query requires the use of admin
privileges) for a particular query.
In templates/zerver/api/update-message.md, we have a sample fixture
for when a zulip.Client does not have the permission to update/edit
a particular message. This commit adds a test for that fixture.
Also, tools/test-api now also uses a non-admin client for this test,
which might come in handy in the future.
This commit adds tests for the sample fixture for when a required
request argument is missing. Also, it moves the sample fixture
to common-error-payloads.md, since this is an error payload that
is common to most requests (except the ones that don't take any
arguments).
