Is this a lazy_static usecase?

I'm running some integration tests but then I noticed I was using the same AppBuilder across all the functions in the tests module in my login.rs. For eg.

// tests/login.rs

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use actix_web::{test, web, App};
    // use myproject::utils;
    use super::*;

    #[actix_web::test]
    async fn test_login_get() {
        let app = test::init_service(
            App::new().service(
                web::scope("login")
                    .service(
                        web::resource("club")
                            .route(web::get().to(utils::login::login_club))
                            .route(web::post().to(utils::login::login_club_post))
                    )
            )
        ).await;
        // Running some tests...
}

    #[actix_web::test]
    async fn test_login_post() {
        let app = test::init_service(
            // Would use the same AppBuilder in the above test function
        ).await;
        // Running some tests...
    }
}

I thought of probably using lazy_static but I'm unsure how to use it or if this would be the right use case.

I'd abstract app creation into a function and pass it to App::configure in your tests. I usually have that function public in my library so that I can use it when I create my production server and inside of my tests, great way to catch if you forgot to add a route somewhere.

// tests/login.rs

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use actix_web::{test, web, App, ServiceConfig};
    // use myproject::utils;
    use super::*;
    
    fn app(app: &mut ServiceConfig) {
        app.service(
            web::scope("login")
                .service(
                    web::resource("club")
                        .route(web::get().to(utils::login::login_club))
                        .route(web::post().to(utils::login::login_club_post))
                )
            )
        );
    }

    #[actix_web::test]
    async fn test_login_get() {
        let app = test::init_service(App::new().configure(app)).await;
        // Running some tests...
    }

    #[actix_web::test]
    async fn test_login_post() {
        let app = test::init_service(App::new().configure(app)).await;
        // Running some tests...
    }
}

Looking back, making the function public in my library is a great idea. Thanks for the new insight!

FYI lazy_static is pretty much obsolete now that there is LazyLock in the standard library
