Running Tests

These steps outline how to run tests for Tweepy:

1. Download Tweepy’s source code to a directory.

2. Install from the downloaded source with the test extra, e.g. pip install .[test]. Optionally install the dev extra as well, for tox and coverage, e.g. pip install .[dev,test].

3. Run tests (e.g. python -m unittest discover tests) in the source directory. With the dev extra, coverage can be measured by using coverage run (e.g. coverage run -m unittest discover tests) and tox can be run to test different Python versions.

To record new cassettes, the following environment variables can be used:

TWITTER_USERNAME BEARER_TOKEN CONSUMER_KEY CONSUMER_SECRET ACCESS_KEY ACCESS_SECRET USE_REPLAY

Simply set USE_REPLAY to False and provide the app and account credentials and username.
