Hey @stevbark I'm taking a look into your PR and was trying to figure out a way to test the schemas. How were you approaching testing?

[stevbark]

Hey @stevbark,

Thanks for adding this! I agree with @JpadillaCoding, can you write a couple of test cases that:

• demonstrate using marshmallow_sqlalchemy to serialize a Host and HousingProgramServiceProvider database object to JSON
• demonstrate using marshmallow_sqlalchemy to deserialize JSON into a Host and HousingProgramServiceProvider?

It'll be easier to write these types of tests once my PR is merged, but the current pytest proj has most or all of what you need now.

What file should the test be in? In the controller or the Utils test file?

[stevbark]

Resolved issues. all tests passed before. Pushed the gitignore update and the tests started failing. not sure why.

@stevbark yeah that's weird. I re-ran the tests and they passed.
