I have a set of tests in different modules: test_foo.py, test_bar.py and so on. All of these use the simplest possible internal layout: a number of classes containing test*() methods, and the good old lines at the end:
if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main() This is great, because each of the modules are runnable, and I can select classes or tests to run on the commandline if I want to. However, running all the tests from e.g. a Makefile is not that fun; I don't get a single pass/fail summary across the modules. What's the best way of creating a test.py which - aggregates the tests from all the test_*.py modules? - doesn't require me to enumerate all the test classes in test.py (forcing each module to define test_foo.theSuite or someting would be OK though) - retains the ability to select tests and verbosity (-q, -v) from the command line? Something like: import unittest import test_foo import test_bar if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main(modules = ['test_foo', 'test_bar']) Seems to me this should be possible, since all the logic for doing it /is/ there for the local module; I'd assume there would be a way to make unittest search additional modules for test classes. But my head starts spinning when I read the source code ... /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <jgrahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ algonet.se> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
