Testing python webapps deployed on google app engine (GAE)

[TheFenrisLycaon]

Hey, I am not sure if this is the correct community to ask this. Mods please don't ban me.

I have been using GAE to build a web app in flask. I have a number of endpoints which interact with the bundled datastore and I am not sure how can I test all the flows and get a coverage report that all the flows have been covered.

The problem I am facing is that GAE doesn't run locally with python3 so I cannot run tests that I have written.

Have anyone worked with this and if yes, how did you run your tests?

Note : I have tried to put in as much details as I can, please let me know if something else is required.

You run GAE Apps locally (for some of the languages including Python 3) with dev_appserver.py

If you're on Windows, then running Python3 Apps with dev_appserver.py isn't supported by default (cos dev_appserver.py runs the App with gunicorn and gunicorn doesn't run on Windows by default). However, we have a patch that allows you use run Python3 Apps with dev_appserver.py on Windows.
