utils

This submodule contains utility methods and models used by the validator. The two main features being:

  1. The @test_case decorator can be used to decorate validation methods and performs error handling, output and logging of test successes and failures.
  2. The patched Validator versions allow for stricter validation of server responses. The standard response classes allow entries to be provided as bare dictionaries, whilst these patched classes force them to be validated with the corresponding entry models themselves.

Client

__init__(self, base_url, max_retries=5, headers=None) special

Initialises the Client with the given base_url without testing if it is valid.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
base_url str

the base URL of the optimade implementation, including request protocol (e.g. 'http://') and API version number if necessary.

Examples:

  • 'http://example.org/optimade/v1',
  • 'www.crystallography.net/cod-test/optimade/v0.10.0/'

Note: A maximum of one slash ("/") is allowed as the last character.

required
max_retries int

The maximum number of attempts to make for each query.

5
headers Dict[str, str]

Dictionary of additional headers to add to every request.

None

get(self, request)

Makes the given request, with a number of retries if being rate limited. The request will be prepended with the base_url unless the request appears to be an absolute URL (i.e. starts with http:// or https://).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
request str

the request to make against the base URL of this client.

required

Returns:

Type Description
response (requests.models.Response)

the response from the server.

Exceptions:

Type Description
SystemExit

if there is no response from the server, or if the URL is invalid.

ResponseError

if the server does not respond with a non-429 status code within the MAX_RETRIES attempts.

InternalError (Exception)

This exception should be raised when validation throws an unexpected error. These should be counted separately from ResponseError's and ValidationError's.

ResponseError (Exception)

This exception should be raised for a manual hardcoded test failure.

test_case(test_fn)

Wrapper for test case functions, which pretty-prints any errors depending on verbosity level, collates the number and severity of test failures, returns the response and summary string to the caller. Any additional positional or keyword arguments are passed directly to test_fn. The wrapper will intercept the named arguments optional, multistage and request and interpret them according to the docstring for wrapper(...) below.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
test_fn Callable[[Any], Tuple[Any, str]]

Any function that returns an object and a message to print upon success. The function should raise a ResponseError, ValidationError or a ManualValidationError if the test case has failed. The function can return None to indicate that the test was not appropriate and should be ignored.
