Hey All,
I am trying to write a script that runs all of my pyunit tests for me.
Ideally, I would like to be able to drop a new module into my
project's test subdirectory, and the testing script will pick it up
automatically.
At the moment, I have it working but it is kinda a kludge because
every TestCase must provide a function that returns a TestSuite for
all of its tests.
Here is the basic process and a stripped down version of the script:
1. Locate each `.py' file in my project's test subdirectory.
2. Import the module found in step 1.
3. Get a TestSuite of all of the tests in the module imported in step
2.
4. Add the TestSuite from step 3 to a growing list of suites.
5. Make one granddaddy TestSuite from the list of all those fetched in
steps 1 through 4.
6. Create a runner, pass it the uber TestSuite, and run all the tests.
My scripts to do these things is as follows:
======================================================================
import os, sys, unittest
from glob import glob
projHome = os.getenv("PROJ_HOME")
sys.path.insert(0, projHome + "/tests")
tests = []
for file in glob(projHome + "/tests/*.py"):
start = file.rfind("/") + 1
end = file.rfind(".")
moduleName = file[start:end]
module = __import__(moduleName)
tests.append(module.getTestSuite())
#-----------------------^
# The part that I'm not happy with.
allTests = unittest.TestSuite(tests)
runner = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2)
runner.run(allTests)
======================================================================
With this setup, every module has to have a `getTestSuite' function
that returns a TestSuite for the module. This is suboptimal and
annoying. The function looks like this is all of my TestCase
subclasses:
======================================================================
class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
pass
def getTestSuite():
return suite
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
else:
global suite
suite = unittest.makeSuite(MyTestCase, 'test')
======================================================================
The problem is that I can't figure out how to do something similar to
the TestCases' `unittest.makeSuite(MyTestCase, 'test')' in the script
that I'm using to run all of the tests.
If anyone has any help or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
