unittest-resources 0.2.0

Dynamic resource-based unittest suites made easy.

unittest-resources

Dynamic resource-based unittest suites made easy.

Online documentation available at https://ergoithz.gitlab.io/unittest-resources.

Usage

First and foremost, add this package as a project dependency on your setup.py.

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='mymodule',
    # ...
    test_suite='tests',
    tests_require=['unittest-resources'],
    #...
    )

That said, this module can be used in three ways:

• unittest_resources.ResourceTestCase base class
• unittest_resources.ResourceTestMeta metaclass
• unittest_resources.testing tool integrations

And then you can run your tests as usual.

python setup.py test

Remember you still have to include your testing dependencies by yourself (like pycodestyle, pydocstyle, mypy or radon) even if they're used only through this package.

Other option, if you feel comfortable about installing all unittest-resources optional dependencies (ie. especially if you're using all classes defined on unittest_resources.testing), is to specify unittest-resources[testing] as dependency.

Using unittest_resources.ResourceTestCase base class

With unittest_resources.ResourceTestCase your base (replacing unittest.TestCase).

import unittest_resources


class MyTestCase(unittest_resources.ResourceTestCase):
    """
    TestCase class with tests autogenerated based on resources.

    This regular :class:`unittest.TestCase`-derived class generates
    test methods by recursively inspecting a module for resources,
    based on special class attributes (prefixed by `meta_`).

    The following functions from :mod:`importlib.resources` are
    available as :class:`staticmethod`s:
    - :func:`importlib.resources.contents` as `contents`
    - :func:`importlib.resources.is_resource` as `is_resource`
    - :func:`importlib.resources.open_binary` as `open_binary`
    - :func:`importlib.resources.open_text` as `open_text`
    - :func:`importlib.resources.path` as `path`
    - :func:`importlib.resources.read_binary` as `read_binary`
    - :func:`importlib.resources.read_text` as `read_text`
    """

    meta_module = 'mymodule'
    meta_prefix = 'mytest_'
    meta_resource_pattern = re.compile(r'\.test_file')

    def meta_test(self, module, resource):
        # type: (str, str) -> None
        """
        Function will be called with every resource found.

        This function received resource-containing module name, and the
        resource name itself.

        :param module: resource-containing module name
        :type module: str
        :param resource: resource name (usually a filename)
        :type resource: str
        """
        with self.path(module, resource) as path:
            self.assertPathStuff(str(path))

        with self.open_text(module, encoding='utf-8') as f:
            self.assertTextFileStuff(f)

        with self.open_binary(module) as f:
            self.assertBytesFileStuff(f)

        text = self.read_text(module, resource)
        self.assertTextStuff(text)

        data = self.read_binary(module, resource)
        self.assertBytesStuff(text)

Using unittest_resources.ResourceTestMeta metaclass

Or, alternatively, using the provided metaclass.

import unittest
import unittest_resources


class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase,
                 metaclass=unittest_resources.ResourceTestMeta):
    """
    TestCase class with tests autogenerated based on resources.

    - :func:`importlib.resources.open_binary` as `open_binary`
    - :func:`importlib.resources.open_text` as `open_text`

        with self.open_text(module, encoding='utf-8') as f:
            self.assertTextFileStuff(f)

        with self.open_binary(module) as f:

        text = self.read_text(module, resource)

Using unittest_resources.testing tool integrations

This package provides ready-to-use integrations of some common libraries

import unittest
import unittest_resources.testing


class TestCodeStyle(unittest_resources.testing.CodeStyleTestCase):
    """
    This TestCase class applies pycodestyle to each python file located
    inside a python module.
    """

    meta_module = 'mymodule'

Refer to unittest_resources.testing module itself to see the available classes and unittest_resources.tests.test_code to see how to use them.

Examples

This package own test suite is self-explanatory, and covers covers the usage of this module to run pycodestyle, pydocstyle, mypy and radon over project code.

You can either subclass and customize them to run on your code, or use them as an example to integrate other tools.
