testdata 0.5.8

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_file_structure(file_structure, tmpdir=u'')

This just makes it easy to create a lot of folders/files all at once.

base_dir = "/tmp"
tmpdir, created_dirs, created_files = testdata.create_file_structure(
  """
  /foo/
    /bar/
      /che.txt
      /bam.txt
    /baz
      /flam.txt
  """,
  tmpdir=base_dir
)

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_files(file_dict, tmpdir=u"")

Create a whole bunch of files, the file_dict key is the filename, the value is the contents of the file.

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

create_modules(module_dict, tmpdir=u"", make_importable=True)

create a whole bunch of modules at once

f = testdata.create_modules(
  {
    "foo.bar": "class Che(object): pass",
    "foo.bar.baz": "class Boom(object): pass",
    "foo.che": "class Bam(object): pass",
  }
)

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, habitasse ultrices Nam \u0436\u0435\u043d\u0430'
