By default a unittest.TestCase has only one test function called "runTest".
Therefore you have to add multiple instances of your TestCase subclass to
the suite and to pass the test function's name to the initializer
explicitly:
import unittest
class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def __init__(self, testname, value):
super(MyTestCase, self).__init__(testname)
self.value = value
def test1(self):
pass
def test2(self):
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
value = 42
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest(MyTestCase("test1", value))
suite.addTest(MyTestCase("test2", value))
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)
However, the standard place for common setup is in the setUp() method.
