Hi,
I am writing my first unittests for a Flask app. First modest goal is to test
whether a selected subset of the templates return the expected status 200.
I am using a nose test generator in a class for this. Is the code below the
correct way to do this? And is there a way to dynamically set the docstring of
test_generator? This would make the nosetests output a bit more understandable.
Thanks!
