New submission from Demian Brecht: There's a feature available via nose that might be nice to have in unittest: package-level setup and teardown functions.
Using nose, I can define a setUpModule() method in a test package's __init__.py and it will execute it during the test run. This is helpful for test packages that test related features and may have expensive setup/teardown routines. By having the test runner pick up setup/teardown methods in __init__.py, I can now incur this expense once rather than once per module. I don't mind putting a patch together for this if others think this might be beneficial. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 241981 nosy: demian.brecht, ezio.melotti, michael.foord, rbcollins priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: unittest package-level set up & tear down module type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24055> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
