I have a module with doctests, and a module that performs unit testing
for it. The test module looks like this:
import doctest
import unittest
import module_to_test
# ...
# many test suites
# ...
if __name__ == '__main__':
doctest.testmod(module_to_test)
unittest.main()
but now I'd like to integrate the doctests with the unittests. I thought
I could follow the instructions here:
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/doctest.html#unittest-api
so I added a line:
doc_test_suite = doctest.DocTestSuite(module=module_to_test)
expecting that it would be found by unittest.main(), but it is not. I
imagine this is because DocTestSuite returns a TestSuite instance, while
the unittest test finder only looks for classes.
I realise that I could manually run the doc_test_suite with this:
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(doc_test_suite)
but this leads to two test outputs:
Ran 100 tests in 3.037s
OK
Ran 10 tests in 0.012s
OK
instead of combining them:
Ran 110 tests in 3.049s
OK
Is there a way to have unittest.main() find and run doc_test_suite
together with the other test suites?
