Yes, I thought so, too. Indeed it happens that the reactor is started automatically, but after the test succeeds, it's not being stopped (only chance is to kill 9 it). I'm afraid I need to use the reactor, as I'd like to make automatic end-to-end tests within my application, going from the workflow until a dummy server, returning the data that was sent by the protocol back to the test-callback.

The functionality to start/stop the reactor when a test returns a Deferred is part of twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase, which subclasses Python's unittest.TestCase. As a result you don't need to use the trial command-line tool, you can use any Python test runner that knows about Python's TestCase; just make sure to subclass twisted.trial.unittest.TestCase, and your test will support running the reactor for you when you return a Deferred. Or, if possible, you can avoid using the reactor at all; some approaches (as mentioned by Jean-Paul) are described in the trial documentation: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/trial.html -- Itamar Turner-Trauring, Future Foundries LLC http://futurefoundries.com/ Twisted consulting, training and support. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
