pytest plugin to display test execution output like a SPECIFICATION
Project description
pytest_spec
pytest plugin to display test execution output like a SPECIFICATION.
Available features
Format output to look like specification.
Group tests by classes.
Failed, passed and skipped are marked and colored.
Remove test_ and underscores for every test.
Method under test may be highlighted (method) like in example.
Output example
py.test --spec test/test_example.py::TestWhenExamplePassed [PASS] Execute returns positive return code test/test_example.py::TestWhenExampleFailed [FAIL] Execute returns negative return code test/test_example.py::TestWhenExampleIsSkipped [SKIP] Execute returns something test/test_example.py::TestExamplesWhenMethodUnderTestIsHighlighted [FAIL] The (execute_command) returns negative return code [PASS] The (execute_command) returns positive return code [SKIP] The (execute_command) returns something
Highlight method under test
Simple test definition is required (double ‘__’ characters before and after method) to put method under test between ‘<>’ characters e.g.
def test__execute_method__returns_something(self):
may be displayed as:
[PASS] The (execute_command) returns something [FAIL] The (execute_command) returns something [SKIP] The (execute_command) returns something
This type of format provides clear information:
which method is under test
what kind of result should be expected
