Method test_request_context

src/flask/app.py:1423–1477

Create a :class:`~flask.ctx.RequestContext` for a WSGI environment created from the given values. This is mostly useful during testing, where you may want to run a function that uses request data without dispatching a full request. See :doc:`/reqcontext`. Us

        See :doc:`/reqcontext`.

        Use a ``with`` block to push the context, which will make
        :data:`request` point at the request for the created
        environment. ::

            with app.test_request_context(...):
                generate_report()

        When using the shell, it may be easier to push and pop the
        context manually to avoid indentation. ::

            ctx = app.test_request_context(...)
            ctx.push()
            ...
            ctx.pop()

        Takes the same arguments as Werkzeug's
        :class:`~werkzeug.test.EnvironBuilder`, with some defaults from
        the application. See the linked Werkzeug docs for most of the
        available arguments. Flask-specific behavior is listed here.

        :param path: URL path being requested.
        :param base_url: Base URL where the app is being served, which
            ``path`` is relative to. If not given, built from
            :data:`PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME`, ``subdomain``,
            :data:`SERVER_NAME`, and :data:`APPLICATION_ROOT`.
        :param subdomain: Subdomain name to append to
            :data:`SERVER_NAME`.
        :param url_scheme: Scheme to use instead of
            :data:`PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME`.
        :param data: The request body, either as a string or a dict of
            form keys and values.
        :param json: If given, this is serialized as JSON and passed as
            ``data``. Also defaults ``content_type`` to
            ``application/json``.
        :param args: other positional arguments passed to
            :class:`~werkzeug.test.EnvironBuilder`.
        :param kwargs: other keyword arguments passed to
            :class:`~werkzeug.test.EnvironBuilder`.
