The pistar is a simple and lightweight function testing tool, using pistar testing framework can quickly complete the development and execution of test cases.

Basic introduction

Command entry:

$ pistar
usage: pistar [options] <command> <args>

positional arguments:
  run          Execute test cases
  generate     Generate interface test cases

optional arguments:
  -v, --version  Show the version of pistar
  -h, --help     Show help message

Simple test example:

from pistar import BaseTestCase, teststep


class ExampleTestCase(BaseTestCase):
    def setup(self):
        print('ExampleTestCase setup...')

    @teststep
    def step_basic_assert(self):
        self.assert_that(100).is_type_of(int, float).is_less_than(200)
        self.assert_that([1, 2, 3]).contains(4)

    def teardown(self):
        print('ExampleTestCase teardown...')

Execution and output:

$ pistar run /test/example.py
collecting...
collected 1 test case
