Testoot

Testoot like "test out" of code for Python 3.4+. It's useful in unit and module testing when creating or rewriting test data is too boring. After you canonized the ideal output result all tests will pass until the data changes moment.

• Writes data to the local filesystem storage
• Supports binary, text, json and picklable objects
• Different policies for resolving test conflicts

Currently integrates best with the PyTest, but other frameworks are also welcomed.

Example

One pytest function is the scope of the result. Newly calculated data compares with the original canonized result.

# testoot is the function scope helper fixture easy to setup
def test_simple(testoot: Testoot):
    result = {'a': 1}
    testoot.test(result)  # Commit first time

    result2 = {'a': 1}
    testoot.test(result2)  # Ok. No object result changes

    result3 = {'a': 3}  # Try commit change. Raised the AssertionError
    with pytest.raises(AssertionError) as e:
        testoot.test(result3)

Using

Development

Making virtualenv with development requirements:

python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Testing

venv/bin/pytest -s tests
venv/bin/flake8 testoot --show-source --statistics
venv/bin/pytest --cov=testoot --cov-report html

Or for automatizing:

cp TEST.sh.example TEST.sh
chmod +x TEST.sh
./TEST.sh

Some tests uses console for user interaction. Add --canonize flag:

venv/bin/pytest -s tests --canonize

Building docs

Using sphinx:

cd docs
make
