     Python's built-in unittest module is quite cool, but a bit limited and way too verbose (read: it's quite not easy to incite developers to write unit tests)

     I'm currently looking for more dev-friendly solutions, the key points being:

     • writing test code should be easy and straight-forward -keep the focus on "what to test" instead of "how to transcribe a process to a test"
     • parallelization! -we, spoiled developers, should make good use of our way-too-many-cores build machines...
     • complete feature set!
       • we don't want to just run tests...
       • coverage reports (find dead/weak/untested code sections)
       • output formatting (JUnit-XML seems to be quite a common format out there)

     There seem to be 3 solutions in Python:

     • stock unittest + project-dependent customizations / test helpers
     • nosetests
     • py.test

     And 2 ways of gettings things done:

     • keeping things stock: no external dependency, project-specific implementation...
     • using a test framework: one more module in your (test) virtualenv, more concise tests, more features (// run, code coverage, etc.)

555. Python: run specific unit tests 2015-02-13

     tags: bug, code, programming/functional-programming, programming/python, programming/testing, quality, unit

     Given your unittests are in the tests directory:

      1# run a specific test module
      2python -m unittest tests.<module>
      3 
      4# run a specific test suite
      5python -m unittest tests.<module>.<class>
      6 
      7# run a specific test
      8python -m unittest tests.<module>.<class>.<test>
      9 
     10# run tests matching a given pattern
     11python -m unittest discover -s tests -p <pattern>

     tags: auto, editor/emacs, electric, indent, mode, org, programming/python

     [ permalink ]

     electric-indent has been activated by default in emacs 24

     to disable it for Python: (add-hook 'python-mode-hook (lambda () (set (make-local-variable 'electric-indent-functions) (list (lambda (arg) 'no-indent)))))
