  9. Python unit testing frameworks: Nose, Pytest

    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.)

    Permalink

    Change install dir:

    • get the EarSketch installer,
    • launch it, install Reaper and EarSketch to the default location => C:\Program Files{EarSketch, REAPER (x64)},
    • install the other softs (Python 2.7 and its extensions, Kommodo) where they belong,
    • move the REAPER (x64) folder to a new location,
    • edit the registry value [HKEY\LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\REAPER] to reflect this new location,
    • edit the Actions menu file to reflect the new Plugins folder locations [%appdata%\REAPER\reaper-kb.ini],
    • (restart Reaper),
    • clean the cache.
