Installation

$ virtualenv --distribute autodoc_sample
$ source autodoc/bin/activate
$ cd autodoc
$ pip install autodoc

Usage

Run unittest with PYAUTODOC=1 to generate documents for your tests decorated with @autodoc.generate.

PYAUTODOC=1 python -m unittest examples/test_unittest.py

If you use py.test as test runner.

PYAUTODOC=1 py.test tests examples/test_pytest.py

If you use nose as test runner.

PYAUTODOC=1 nosetests tests examples/test_unittest.py

Example for unittest

class TestUnittest(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        app = create_app
        self.client = TestApp(app)

    @classmethod
    @autodoc.generate('var/test_unittest.rst')
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        pass

    @autodoc.describe('GET /')
    def test_get(self):
        """ GET / """
        res = self.client.get('/')
        self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

        return res

@autodoc.describe() describe test name.

For example GET / assigned to generated document.

@autodoc.generate(path_to_output) will generate document.

Example for py.test

@pytest.fixture
def setup():
    setup = TestApp(create_app)

    return setup


@autodoc.generate('var/test_pytest.md', template='templates/markdown.md')
def teardown_module(module):
    pass


@autodoc.describe('POST /')
def test_post(setup):
    res = setup.post_json('/', params={'id': 1, 'message': 'foo'})
    assert res.status_code == 200

    return res

Example for requests

import requests

class TestUnittest(TestCase):
  def setUp(self):
    self.client = requests

  @classmethod
  @autodoc.generate('var/test_unittest.rst')
  def tearDownClass(cls):
    pass

  @autodoc.describe('POST /')
  def test_post(self):
    """ POST / """
    params = {'id': 1, 'message': 'foo'}
    headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
    res = self.client.post('http://example.com/',
                           data=params, headers=headers)
    self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

    return res

Conventions

@autodoc.describe('POST /')
def test_post(setup):
    res = setup.post_json('/', params={'id': 1, 'message': 'foo'})
    assert res.status_code == 200

    return res # Must return WebTest or requests response.

class TestUnittest(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        app = create_app
        self.client = TestApp(app)

    @autodoc.generate('var/indext_get.rst')
    @autodoc.describe('GET /')
    def test_get(self):
        """ GET / """
        res = self.client.get('/')
        self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

        return res

    @autodoc.generate('var/foo_get.rst')
    @autodoc.describe('GET /foo')
    def test_get(self):
        """ GET / """
        res = self.client.get('/foo')
        self.assertEqual(res.status_code, 200)

        return res

Configuration

You can configure @autodoc.generat(output, template=path_to_template) to change template file.
