Configuration

Overview

TestingConfig extends BaseConfig from quadkit.config with environment prefix QK_TESTING__. It controls test environment behavior.

from quadkit.testing.config import TestingConfig

# Defaults
config = TestingConfig()

# From YAML
config = TestingConfig.from_yaml("application.yaml")

Options

Key	Type	Default	Env Var	Description
enabled	bool	True	QK_TESTING__ENABLED	Whether testing module is enabled
db_reuse	bool	True	QK_TESTING__DB_REUSE	Reuse test databases between tests
mock_external_services	bool	True	QK_TESTING__MOCK_EXTERNAL_SERVICES	Mock external service calls
cleanup_temp_files	bool	True	QK_TESTING__CLEANUP_TEMP_FILES	Clean up temporary files after tests

YAML Example

application.yaml

testing:
  enabled: true
  db_reuse: true
  mock_external_services: false
  cleanup_temp_files: false

Environment Variables

export QK_TESTING__ENABLED=true
export QK_TESTING__DB_REUSE=false
export QK_TESTING__MOCK_EXTERNAL_SERVICES=false

Best Practices

• Use mock_external_services: false in integration test environments where real services are available
• Disable cleanup_temp_files during debugging to inspect generated artifacts
• Override via environment variables in CI without modifying application.yaml
