I am trying to find out the number of queries executed by a utility function. I have written a unit test for this function and the function is working well. What I would like to do is track the number of SQL queries executed by the function so that I can see if there is any improvement after some refactoring.
def do_something_in_the_database():
# Does something in the database
# return result
class DoSomethingTests(django.test.TestCase):
def test_function_returns_correct_values(self):
self.assertEqual(n, <number of SQL queries executed>)
EDIT: I found out that there is a pending Django feature request for this. However the ticket is still open. In the meantime is there another way to go about this?
Since Django 1.3 there is a assertNumQueries available exactly for this purpose.
One way to use it (as of Django 3.2) is as a context manager:
# measure queries of some_func and some_func2
with self.assertNumQueries(2):
result = some_func()
result2 = some_func2()
