apache_beam.testing.util module

Utilities for testing Beam pipelines.

apache_beam.testing.util.assert_that(actual, matcher, label='assert_that', reify_windows=False, use_global_window=True)[source]

A PTransform that checks a PCollection has an expected value.

Note that assert_that should be used only for testing pipelines since the check relies on materializing the entire PCollection being checked.

Parameters:
  • actual – A PCollection.

  • matcher – A matcher function taking as argument the actual value of a materialized PCollection. The matcher validates this actual value against expectations and raises BeamAssertException if they are not met.

  • label – Optional string label. This is needed in case several assert_that transforms are introduced in the same pipeline.

  • reify_windows – If True, matcher is passed a list of TestWindowedValue.

  • use_global_window – If False, matcher is passed a dictionary of (k, v) = (window, elements in the window).

Returns:

Ignored.

apache_beam.testing.util.equal_to(expected, equals_fn=None)[source]
apache_beam.testing.util.equal_to_per_window(expected_window_to_elements)[source]

Matcher used by assert_that to check to assert expected windows.

The ‘assert_that’ statement must have reify_windows=True. This assertion works when elements are emitted and are finally checked at the end of the window.

Parameters:

expected_window_to_elements – A dictionary where the keys are the windows to check and the values are the elements associated with each window.

apache_beam.testing.util.is_empty()[source]
apache_beam.testing.util.is_not_empty()[source]

This is test method which makes sure that the pcol is not empty and it has some data in it. :return:

apache_beam.testing.util.matches_all(expected)[source]

Matcher used by assert_that to check a set of matchers.

Parameters:

expected – A list of elements or hamcrest matchers to be used to match the elements of a single PCollection.

apache_beam.testing.util.open_shards(glob_pattern, mode='rt', encoding='utf-8')[source]

Returns a composite file of all shards matching the given glob pattern.

Parameters:
  • glob_pattern (str) – Pattern used to match files which should be opened.

  • mode (str) – Specify the mode in which the file should be opened. For available modes, check io.open() documentation.

  • encoding (str) – Name of the encoding used to decode or encode the file. This should only be used in text mode.

Returns:

A stream with the contents of the opened files.
