Conflicts with pytest-asyncio (sample with redis)

Having following test file, things behave differently with different pytest plugins installed:

import aioredis
import pytest
from aiohttp import web


def init():
    """Create web.Application instance
    """
    app = web.Application()
    app.router.add_get('/', hello)
    app["redis_url"] = "redis://localhost:6379"
    app.on_startup.append(create_redis_pool)
    app.on_shutdown.insert(0, close_redis_pool)
    return app


async def hello(request):
    """url Handler for hello"""
    return web.Response(text='Hello, world')


async def create_redis_pool(app):
    """Create Redis connection pool"""
    redis_url = app["redis_url"]
    pool = await aioredis.create_redis_pool(redis_url, loop=app.loop)
    app["redis_pool"] = pool


async def close_redis_pool(app):
    """Close Redis connection pool"""
    pool = app["redis_pool"]
    pool.close()
    await pool.wait_closed()


# @pytest.fixture
# def loop(event_loop):
#     """Ensure usable event loop for everyone.
#
#     If you comment this fixture out, default pytest-aiohttp one is used
#     and things start failing (when redis pool is in place).
#     """
#     return event_loop


@pytest.fixture
def app(loop):
    """Application instance.
    """
    return init()


@pytest.fixture
async def cli(test_client, app, loop):
    """HTTP client for our application.
    """
    return await test_client(app)


async def test_hello(cli, loop):
    resp = await cli.get("/")
    assert resp.status == 200
    text = await resp.text()
    assert "Hello, world" in text

only pytest-aiohttp installed: all is fine

When only pytest-aiohttp is installed, the test runs well as it is.

with pytest-asyncio, it fails

When also pytest-asyncio is installed, the test fails with:

self = <ConnectionsPool [db:0, size:[1:10], free:0]>

    async def wait_closed(self):
        """Wait until pool gets closed."""
        await self._close_state.wait()

fix by masking loop fixture

To fix this problem (still using pytest-asyncio plugin), one has to uncomment the loop fixture.

pytest-asyncio and pytest-aiohttp libraries are not compatible. That’s sad but we should live with it.

I think I’ve encouter same issue with a shorted code using ThreadPoolExecutor without redis. It seems that I can’t use loop fixture from pytest-aiohttp while pytest-asyncio > 0.5.0 is installed.

Following source using event_loop fixture from pytest-asyncio is working fine with pytest-asyncio == 0.8.0 installed :

import asyncio
import pytest
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

def count():
    return  0


@pytest.fixture
async def my_fixture(event_loop):
    executor = ThreadPoolExecutor()    
    await event_loop.run_in_executor(executor, count)


async def test_f(my_fixture):
    pass

Following source with loop fixture from pytest-aiohttp :

• is working fine if pytest-asyncio is not installed
• also working fine if pytest-asyncio == 0.5.0 is installed
• doesn’t work if pytest-asyncio == 0.8.0 is installed

import asyncio
import pytest
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor


def count():
    return  0


@pytest.fixture
async def my_fixture(loop):
    executor = ThreadPoolExecutor()    
    await loop.run_in_executor(executor, count)


async def test_f(my_fixture):
    pass
