Tests

Install the pitest package first, then:

Usage Examples

1. Write a test case:

import pitest

class MyTestCase(pitest.TestCaseBase):
    # By default, test methods are methods whose names start with 'test_'. You
    # can change the matching patterns by defining the 'test_patterns' class
    # variable by uncommenting the following line:
    #       test_patterns = [ 'mytest_*', 'yourtest_*' ]

    # The start * means it matches anything, just like the command line glob.

    # If test methods have inter-dependencies, i.e., certain tests must precede
    # some other tests, you can define the dependencies using the
    # 'internal_deps' class variable. Here is an example:
    #       internal_deps = { 'test_foo1': [ 'test_bar1*', 'test_bar2*' ],
    #                         'test_hel*lo': [ 'test_no', 'test_yes*' ],
    #                       }

    # If this test case depend on other test cases, you can specify their
    # dependencies via the 'deps' class variable. Here is an example:
    #       deps = [ 'MyTestCase1', 'MyTestCaseFoo*', ]

    # When you reference other test cases, you do NOT need to import the files
    # that define the referenced test cases. But if they cannot be found by the
    # end of the day, error will occur.

    def __init__(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass

    # Run once before running all test methods.
    def setup_instance(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass

    # Run once after running all test methods.
    def teardown_instance(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass

    # Run once before running every single test method.
    def setup(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass

    # Run once after running every single test method.
    def teardown(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass

    # Actual test methods, names matching 'test_patterns'.
    def test_foo_something(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass
    def test_foo_something_else(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass
    def test_bar_something(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass
    def test_bar_something_else(self[, *args[, **kwargs]]):
        pass

2. Write argument file

import pitest

__pitest_main_default_args_name__ = 'my_args'

my_args = pitest.TestCaseArgs()
my_args.set_method_args('__init__',
        args = ('Anndee', ),
        kwargs = { 'kwarg0': 'KoolArg' })
my_args.set_method_args('test',
        args = ('naathing', ),
        kwargs = { 'kwarg1': 'at owl' })

my_args2 = pitest.TestCaseArgs()
my_args2.set_method_args('__init__',
        args = ('Bashii', ),
        kwargs = { 'kwarg0': 'KoolArg2' })
my_args2.set_method_args('test',
        args = ('naathing', ),
        kwargs = { 'kwarg1': 'at owlll' })

3. Run the test cases

Discover tests:

$ python3 -m pitest discover (case | method | all)

Run tests:

$ python3 -m pitest run (case | method) name

Scan given directory:

$ python3 -m pitest --start-dir some/dir ...

Run tests with dynamic arguments:

$ python3 -m pitest run case MyTestCase --args-file my_args.py

Use a non-default argument object in the file:

$ python3 -m pitest run case MyTestCase --args-file my_args.py \
                                        --args-name my_args2
