vimmock 0.1.0

vim mock object for easier testing of vim plugins written in Python.

vimmock

vimmock is a module that makes testing Python code using vim module much easier.

Usage

At the test environment initialization one should prepare vim object that would normaly be used within vim’s plugin. Example:

import sys
from vimmock import VimMock

sys.modules['vim'] = VimMock()

Once this is done one can start importing vim module which would be instance of VimMock class. From now on we can write our tests:

import vim
import unittest
import myplugin

class TestPlugin(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        vim.setup_text('\n'.join(('foo', 'bar')))

    def test_simple(self):
        vim.current.window.cursor = 2, 0 # rows starts from 1, column from 0
        # ... let's assume our plugin swaps lines
        self.assertEqual(vim.current.buffer[0], 'bar')
        self.assertEqual(vim.current.buffer[1], 'foo')
