Hello. Im new to using doctests in python. Could some1 tel me how to
use doctests if i have a constructor in my code?
Just construct the desired objects inside the doctest. See the difflib
module for a couple examples.
If it's hard/undesirable/annoying to construct the objects for every test,
you may use the "globs" or "extraglobs" argument to doctest.testmod.
Something like this:
class SomeClass:
def __init__(self, a, lot, of arguments, are, required):
...
def some_method(self, arg):
"""Does this and that...
In the test below, obj refers to the
already created instance (below, in _test)
>>> obj.some_method(self, 123)
True
>>> obj.some_method(self, "hi")
False
"""
...
def _test():
import doctest
obj = SomeClass(create, the instance, using, a, lot, of, arguments)
doctest.testmod(extraglobs={'obj': obj})
if __name__=='__main__':
_test()
But I prefer to keep the doctests self-contained whenever possible.
