quickunit

Given standard test setup, will determine which tests need to run against a given diff.

For example, say you’re working in your branch called my-new-sexy-feature, which modifies the following files:

src/foo/bar/__init__.py
src/foo/bar/baz.py
src/foo/biz.py

If you’re using a traditional test layout, we’ll automatically add the following rule for you:

tests/{path}/test_{filename}

Otherwise you can add rules using regular expression syntax in combination with the path and filename formatters.

Now if we run with the default options, nosetests --with-quickunit, it will look for tests (by default) in the following base directories:

tests/src/foo/bar/test_baz.py
tests/src/foo/test_biz.py

(It does this by analyzing the diff against master, and determining which files you’ve changed are tests, including them, and which files containing test coverage in a parallel directory.)

quickunit-rule = tests/{path}/test_{filename}
                 tests/{path}/{basename}/tests.py
