pyhistorian is a BDD tool for writing specifications using Given-When-Then template

Project description

The goal of pyhistorian is to write an internal Given-When-Then template using Python. The ideas came from JBehave, RBehave, Cucumber and others.

It’s possible to write your stories in English and Portuguese, choose your preferred.

A good example of use [en-us, by default] follows (call this file calculator.py)

from should_dsl import *
from pyhistorian import *

class Calculator(object):
    def sum(self, n1, n2):
        return n1+n2

class SumScenario(Scenario):
    @Given('I have a calculator')
    def set_my_calculator(self):
        self.calculator = Calculator()

    @When('I enter with 1 + 1')
    def sum_one_to_one(self):
        self.sum = self.calculator.sum(1, 1)

    @Then('I have 2 as result')
    def two_as_result(self):
        self.sum |should_be.equal_to| 2

if __name__ == '__main__':
    calculator_story = Story(title='Specifying my new calculator',
                             as_a='lazy mathematician',
                             i_want_to='rest my mind',
                             so_that="I don't waste my time thinking")
    sum_scenario = SumScenario('Sum of 1 and 1')
    (calculator_story.add_scenario(sum_scenario)
                     .run())

Running:

$ python calculator.py
Story: Specifying my new calculator
As a lazy mathematician
I want to rest my mind
So that I don't waste my time thinking

Scenario 1: Sum of 1 and 1
  Given I have a calculator   ... OK
  When I enter with 1 + 1   ... OK
  Then I have 2 as result   ... OK

pyhistorian is at github.com

Due to DVCS I moved pyhistorian from Google Gode to github.com.
