booger 0.3.2

Pretty curses-based nose frontend

Eats the output of a nosetests run, and put it into a nice curses interface, instead of letting nosetests throw a tsunami of output into stdout after all the tests finish.

SCREENSHOTS



INSTALLATION

booger is on [pypi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/booger):

pip install booger

USAGE

To use booger, you can use either invoke it as a plugin, or call the wrapping script.

nosetests –booger YOUR_TESTS

booger YOUR_TESTS

Commands:

• Move with up/down arrow keys, or n/p (next/previous) keys

• On the main testcase listing, with a selected testcase, press: - t for traceback - o for stdout - l for logging output

• In the traceback view, press: - v to toggle the current frame’s variable view

• On the stdout/logging views, page up/page down also work, as you would expect

MOTIVATION

If you’ve ever threw nosetests on a big test suite, and a few of those tests happened to be broken with a ton of logging going on (as it should be), then you’re going to have a bad time scrolling around trying to find the most pertinent information first.

Booger is an effort to give you the best information first, with more information easily available, quickly.

To this end, booger will progressively show you which tests are failing with the last line of the error’s traceback along with the actual error, and make the stdout, logging, and the full traceback with the variables at each frame available.
