Suggestion: `pytest-vcr` for reliable testing
I believe the test suite is actually making requests to Entrez each time it's run.
To fix this, I suggest using pytest-vcr
, a pytest
plug-in for caching the response of requests in a subfolder of the test folder.
It's very easy to use, and may help with the seeming flakiness of CI at the moment
This is a good idea, though it would be best if one of the jobs was not cached (while the other were). Also, requests-cache may be preferable as it is a bit more established.
Oh wow, requests-cache
is a TIL for me, thanks!
And yeah, it's up to you, was just a suggestion as I noticed CI is somewhat flaky.
Maybe instead of caching for all but one job, it'd be more preferable to set up a weekly CI job using schedule
that updates the cached responses.
