testdata 0.4

Easy random test data generation

Generate Random Test Data

These are a bunch of functions I’ve been using for years over numerous projects. I’m finally bundling them up into a proper module instead of the copy/pasting I’ve been doing up until now.

To use testdata in your tests, just include the testdata.py module:

import testdata

To install, use Pip:

pip install testdata

Or, with Pip using Github:

pip install git+https://github.com/Jaymon/testdata#egg=testdata

Functions

create_dir(path, tmpdir=u"")

create a directory hierarchy

base_dir = "/tmp"
d = testdata.create_dir("/foo/bar", base_dir)
print d # /tmp/foo/bar

create_file(path, contents=u"", tmpdir=u"")

create a file with contents

base_dir = "/tmp"
f = testdata.create_dir("/foo/bar.txt", "The file contents", base_dir)
print f # /tmp/foo/bar.txt

create_module(module_name, contents=u"", tmpdir=u"", make_importable=True)

create a module with python contents that can be imported

base_dir = "/tmp"
f = testdata.create_dir("foo.bar", "class Che(object): pass", base_dir)
print f # /tmp/foo/bar.py

get_ascii(str_size=0)

return a string of ascii characters

>>> testdata.get_ascii()
u'IFUKzVAauqgyRY6OV'

get_float(min_size=None, max_size=None)

return a floating point number between min_size and max_size.

>>> testdata.get_float()
2.932229899095845e+307

get_int(min_size=1, max_size=sys.maxsize)

return an integer between min_size and max_size.

>>> testdata.get_int()
3820706953806377295

get_name(name_count=2, as_str=True)

returns a random name that can be outside the ascii range (eg, name can be unicode)

>>> testdata.get_name()
u'jamel clarke-cabrera'

get_str(str_size=0, chars=None)

return random characters, which can be unicode.

>>> testdata.get_str()
u'q\x0bwZ\u79755\ud077\u027aYm\ud0d8JK\x07\U0010df418tx\x16'

get_url()

return a random url.

>>> testdata.get_url()
u'https://sK6rxrCa626TkQddTyf.com'

get_words(word_count=0, as_str=True)

return a random amount of words, which can be unicode.

>>> testdata.get_words()
u'\u043f\u043e\u043d\u044f\u0442\u044c \u043c\u043e\u0436\u043d\u043e felis, \u0447\u0442\u043e\u0431\u044b habitasse ultrices Nam \u043d\u043e\u0447\u044c \u043c\u0438\u043d\u0443\u0442\u0430 In \u0441\u0438\u0434\u0435\u0442\u044c varius, \u0436\u0435\u043d\u0430'
