It lets you write tests that call gRPC handlers directly, without manually managing server lifecycle or channel configuration.\n\nThe plugin supports two testing modes: a real gRPC server running in a background thread and a fake in-process mode that bypasses the network layer for faster unit tests. You define fixtures to inject your service implementation and protobuf stubs, then write test functions that receive a ready-to-use stub. It also supports SSL/TLS by allowing you to override the default server and channel fixtures with custom credentials.","worth_installing":"No\u2014the package is abandoned (last release 2020-05-01) with no maintenance signal. While it has low install friction and a permissive MIT license, the lack of updates means it will likely break with newer pytest or gRPC versions. Use only if locked to old dependencies; otherwise, maintain your own test fixtures or evaluate actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"pytest-grpc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-grpc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-grpc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-grpc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-05-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-grpc","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"pytest plugin for grpc"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":179974,"position":10156,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.8.0"}
