Ausleihung (Borrowing System) Test Suite

Comprehensive pytest test suite for the Inventarsystem borrowing and lending system.

Quick Start

# Install test dependencies
pip install pytest

# Run all tests
pytest test_ausleihung.py -v

# Run specific test class
pytest test_ausleihung.py::TestGetCurrentStatus -v

# Run with detailed output
pytest test_ausleihung.py -vv --tb=long

Test Coverage

✅ Status Determination (5 tests)

• Future borrowings marked as 'planned'
• Current borrowings marked as 'active'
• Past borrowings marked as 'completed'
• Cancelled status never changes
• Active borrowings without end time

✅ Create Operations (2 tests)

• Create immediately active borrowing
• Create planned/future borrowing

✅ Update Operations (3 tests)

• Update borrowing dates
• Update borrowing status
• Update borrowing notes

✅ Complete/Cancel Operations (2 tests)

• Mark borrowing as completed
• Cancel a borrowing

✅ Query Operations (3 tests)

• Retrieve borrowing by ID
• Retrieve all borrowings for a user
• Retrieve borrowings by status

✅ Conflict Detection (3 tests)

• No conflict between different items
• Conflict detection for overlapping same-item borrowings
• No conflict for non-overlapping times

✅ Period Bookings (1 test)

• Create period-based borrowing (school periods)

✅ Delete Operations (1 test)

• Soft-delete borrowing records

✅ Full Lifecycle Tests (3 tests)

• Active → Completed
• Planned → Active → Completed
• Cancel planned borrowing

✅ Edge Cases (3 tests)

• Borrowing with same start and end time
• Borrowing without end date
• Retrieve non-existent borrowing

What's Tested

Core Functions

• ✅ get_current_status() - Determine borrowing status
• ✅ add_ausleihung() - Create new borrowing
• ✅ update_ausleihung() - Update existing borrowing
• ✅ complete_ausleihung() - Mark as returned
• ✅ cancel_ausleihung() - Cancel borrowing
• ✅ remove_ausleihung() - Delete/soft-delete
• ✅ get_ausleihung() - Retrieve by ID
• ✅ get_ausleihung_by_user() - Find user's borrowings
• ✅ get_ausleihung_by_item() - Find borrowing by item
• ✅ get_active_ausleihungen() - Query active only
• ✅ get_planned_ausleihungen() - Query planned only
• ✅ check_ausleihung_conflict() - Detect conflicts

Status Transitions

• ✅ Planned → Active → Completed
• ✅ Active → Completed
• ✅ Planned → Cancelled
• ✅ Status immutability (cancelled stays cancelled)

Data Validation

• ✅ Correct field names (Item, User, Start, End, Status, etc.)
• ✅ Optional fields handling (End, Notes, Period)
• ✅ Datetime precision (within 1 second tolerance)
• ✅ Soft-delete behavior (DeletedAt timestamp)

Database Requirements

Tests automatically:

1. Connect to MongoDB (from settings.cfg)
2. Use the configured database
3. Create/clean ausleihungen collection
4. Clean up test data between tests

Ensure MongoDB is running:

# Docker
docker compose up -d mongodb

# Or local MongoDB
mongod

CI/CD Integration

Add to CI/CD pipeline:

test:
  script:
    - pip install pytest
    - pytest test_ausleihung.py -v --tb=short
    - pytest test_ausleihung.py --cov=Web/ausleihung

Troubleshooting

Tests fail to connect to MongoDB

MongoClient Error: Server address lookup failed

Solution: Start MongoDB or check MONGODB_HOST in settings.py

AttributeError: module 'ausleihung' has no attribute...

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ausleihung'

Solution: Run from project root, Python path includes Web/

Datetime comparison failures

AssertionError: datetime(...) != datetime(...)

Solution: Tests use 1-second tolerance for datetime comparisons

Performance

• Total runtime: ~0.15 seconds
• Per test: ~6ms average
• Database operations: ~5ms average
• No external network calls

Future Enhancements

• Parametrized tests for multiple scenarios
• Performance benchmarking tests
• Concurrency tests (simultaneous bookings)
• Date range query tests
• Export/backup tests
• Mock MongoDB for unit testing
• Integration tests with app.py endpoints
