testgui

Drop-in replacement GUI for Django testing and testing with unittest.

Usage:

Django: replace your management command test with testgui. It works with the same parameters out of the box. eg.

python manage.py testgui

Unittest: change your test file code like this:

from testgui import unittestgui
...
if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittestgui.main()  # instead of unittest.main()

Here's a screenshot with TestGUI in operation, after calling python manage.py testgui:

Installation:

pip install testgui

To use with unittests you are set up.

To use django management command, add testgui to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'testgui',
    ...
]

Dependencies:

• [django] [only required if you want to use it as a django management command]
• pywebview

Compatible with redgreenunittest.

Features:

• hot module reload* (You don't need to restart testing after you've changed your code.)
• hot test re-population (If you've changed the name of your test or added new tests, still don't need to restart testing.)
• normal debugging (You can still use PyCharm or your favorite IDE to debug your code, just as with manage.py test.)
• run selected test (You just click the icon next to a test or an app and your test runs, don't need to stop debugging.)

*note that unfortunately models.py and admin.py files cannot be hot-reloaded by Django's design. However, TestGUI warns you about this and it does not hot-reload these modules.
