Introduction
The purpose of chaoflow.testing.crawler is to find tests in your package and run them along with tests in files you explicitly define.
Tests are found in the following files:
- all .py files that are part of (subpackages of) your package, i.e. files that
you can import with import - all .txt files that have a corresponding .py file - all files you excplicitly specify
All tests found can be run individually, e.g. with zc.recipe.testrunner.
Using the test crawler
In order to use the test crawler for your package, you only need to copy one file and declare the dependency on chaoflow.testing.crawler in your setup.py.
Drop this file into your package root and adapt the files list to explicitly specify test files that are not found otherwise, tests.py:
# chaoflow.testing.crawler.tests.py # # You can simply copy this file to your package and adjust it to your needs
from chaoflow.testing.crawler import create_test_suite
# File to test, relative to the package root # all .py files are found # all .txt files with corresponding .py file are found files = [ 'README.txt' ]
# We assume that this modules is in the root of your package pkgname = __name__[:-6]
test_suite = create_test_suite(pkgname, files)
Declare the dependency in setup.py:
setup(... extras_require={ 'test': [ 'interlude', 'chaoflow.testing.ipython', 'chaoflow.testing.crawler', ], }, )
If interlude is available, interlude.interact will be available as interact in your test environment.
If chaoflow.testing.ipython is available, ipshell will be available as ipshell in your test environment.
example buildout.cfg using chaoflow.testing.crawler and zc.recipe.testrunner:
[buildout]
develop = . parts = test py
[test] recipe = zc.recipe.testrunner eggs = chaoflow.testing.crawler [test]
[py] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = py eggs = ${test:eggs}
After buildout, you can run your tests using ./bin/test. Run ./bin/test --list-tests to get a list of all registered tests and see ./bin/test --help for further information.
