RuntimeError: working outside of application context
Flask has an Application Context, and it seems like you'll need to do something like:
def test_connection(self): with app.app_context(): #test codeYou can probably also shove the app.app_context() call into a test setup method as well. Hope this helps.
I followed the answer from @brenns10 when I ran into a similar problem when using pytest.
I followed the suggestion of putting it into test setup, this works:
import pytestfrom src.app import app@pytest.fixturedef app_context(): with app.app_context(): yielddef some_test(app_context): # <test code that needs the app context>
