SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive strategies and practical examples for testing Temporal Python workflows and activities, ensuring reliability and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit Testing: Test workflows and activities in isolation using time-skipping and mock environments.
  • Integration Testing: Validate workflow orchestration with mocked external dependencies.
  • Replay Testing: Ensure code changes are backward-compatible by replaying production histories.
  • Local Development Setup: Guides you through setting up a local Temporal server and configuring pytest for efficient testing.
  • Use Case: When developing a new Temporal workflow, use this Skill to write robust unit tests that verify individual components and integration tests that confirm their interaction, before deploying to production.

Quick Start

Use the temporal-python-testing skill to set up a local Temporal development environment with pytest.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Temporal Python workflows and activities in isolation?

You can test Temporal Python workflows and activities in isolation by using time-skipping and mock environments to validate individual components without external dependencies.

How do I set up a local Temporal server for pytest integration testing?

Set up a local Temporal server for pytest integration testing using Docker Compose, allowing you to validate workflow orchestration with mocked external dependencies.

What is replay testing for Temporal Python and when do I need it?

Replay testing for Temporal Python replays production histories against new code to ensure backward compatibility. You need it to guarantee safe code evolution in production environments.

How can I validate determinism in Temporal Python workflows?

Validate determinism in Temporal Python workflows through advanced mocking techniques and replay testing strategies to ensure consistent execution and safe version compatibility.

Can I use pytest with Temporal Python for local development?

Yes, you can use pytest with Temporal Python for local development by configuring the framework to work with a local Temporal server set up via Docker Compose.

How do I ensure backward compatibility when updating Temporal Python workflows?

Ensure backward compatibility when updating Temporal Python workflows by performing replay testing, which replays production histories to verify that code changes maintain version compatibility.
