The testrunner is probably the way to go!
I do this:
# somemod.test.py
from somemod import testing as reg # testing is a package with various
modules inside
__test__ = {
'create_tracker': reg.process.create_tracker,
'create_new_user': reg.process.create_new_user,
'default_promo': reg.process.default_promo,
'session_keys': reg.trackers.sess_keys,
}
The modules look like this:
_imports = _pre_setup + r"""
Import what we need
>>> from django.http import HttpRequest
>>> #Other imports here
"""
_pre_setup is a doctest that mimicks the pre_setup method on a django
TestCase and allows me to specify:
_pre_setup = r"""
>>> from django.core.management import call_command
>>> def _pre_setup(*fixtures):
... "see django.test.testcases.TextCase._pre_setup"
... call_command('flush', verbosity=0, interactive=False)
... if fixtures:
... call_command('loaddata', *fixtures, **{'verbosity': 0})
... mail.outbox = []
"""
This way I can mix and match doctests from lots of different places, and I
can use fixtures in my doctests. I find it pretty flexible, but I'm not
really 100% convinced it's the best way to go about this, so I'd be
interested in hearing from others.
Cheers,
Ben
