This is a framework for testing Alexa Skills developed in Python with the alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-python, which is mostly a translation of taimos' Alexa Skill Test Framework in Typescript, which itself is based on the alexa-skill-test-framework by Brian MacIntosh.
The framework uses assert to check the expected behaviour. So the best way to go is using it with pytest.
The ask-sdk version it is based on is ask-sdk-core=1.10, ask-sdk-runtime=1.10 and ask-sdk-model=1.11.
You can install the framework via pip:
pip install py_ask_sdk_testYou can see an example for using the framework in the following and in the framework's test-files:
from py_ask_sdk_test.alexa_test import AlexaTest
from py_ask_sdk_test.classes import TestItem, SkillSettings, SupportedInterfaces
from request_builders.launch_request_builder import LaunchRequestBuilder
from request_builders.intent_request_builder import IntentRequestBuilder
from pseudo_handler import handler
skill_settings = SkillSettings(app_id="<Your skill's id>",
user_id="<Your user id>",
device_id="<Your device id>",
locale="<The locale of your skill>",
interfaces=SupportedInterfaces()) # interfaces your skill supports (audio, video etc.)
def test_launch_request():
"""Tests the LaunchRequest's speech and repromt output"""
alexa_test = AlexaTest(handler)
alexa_test.test(
[
TestItem(
LaunchRequestBuilder(skill_settings).build(),
expected_speech="Salve, gaudeo te videre!",
expected_repromt="Vin aliquid dicere?",
check_question=False
),
TestItem(
IntentRequestBuilder("DeiIntent", skill_settings).build(),
expected_speech=(r"Jupiter.+", True),
expected_repromt="",
check_question=False
)
]
)
