Pytest testing key-value store - environment variable

---

• We need to be able to set the name of the data file externally. e.g. Using an environment variable.

examples/pytest/key-value-store-testable/store.py

import os
import json

def set(key, value):
    data = _read_data()
    data[key] = value
    _save_data(data)

def get(key):
    data = _read_data()
    return(data.get(key))

def _save_data(data):
    filename = _get_filename()
    with open(filename, 'w') as fh:
        json.dump(data, fh, sort_keys=True, indent=4)


def _read_data():
    filename = _get_filename()
    data = {}
    if os.path.exists(filename):
        with open(filename) as fh:
            data = json.load(fh)
    return data

def _get_filename():
    path = os.environ.get('STORE_DIR', os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
    filename = os.path.join(path, 'store.json')
    return filename
