""" Testing Plugins =============== The plugin interface is well-tested enough to safely unit test your use of its hooks with some level of confidence. However, there is also a mixin for unittest.TestCase called PluginTester that's designed to test plugins in their native runtime environment. Here's a simple example with a do-nothing plugin and a composed suite. >>> import unittest >>> from nose.plugins import Plugin, PluginTester >>> class FooPlugin(Plugin): ... pass >>> class TestPluginFoo(PluginTester, unittest.TestCase): ... activate = '--with-foo' ... plugins = [FooPlugin()] ... def test_foo(self): ... for line in self.output: ... # i.e. check for patterns ... pass ... ... # or check for a line containing ... ... assert "ValueError" in self.output ... def makeSuite(self): ... class TC(unittest.TestCase): ... def runTest(self): ... raise ValueError("I hate foo") ... return unittest.TestSuite([TC()]) ... >>> res = unittest.TestResult() >>> case = TestPluginFoo('test_foo') >>> _ = case(res) >>> res.errors [] >>> res.failures [] >>> res.wasSuccessful() True >>> res.testsRun 1 And here is a more complex example of testing a plugin that has extra arguments and reads environment variables. >>> import unittest, os >>> from nose.plugins import Plugin, PluginTester >>> class FancyOutputter(Plugin): ... name = "fancy" ... def configure(self, options, conf): ... Plugin.configure(self, options, conf) ... if not self.enabled: ... return ... self.fanciness = 1 ... if options.more_fancy: ... self.fanciness = 2 ... if 'EVEN_FANCIER' in self.env: ... self.fanciness = 3 ... ... def options(self, parser, env=os.environ): ... self.env = env ... parser.add_option('--more-fancy', action='store_true') ... Plugin.options(self, parser, env=env) ... ... def report(self, stream): ... stream.write("FANCY " * self.fanciness) ... >>> class TestFancyOutputter(PluginTester, unittest.TestCase): ... activate = '--with-fancy' # enables the plugin ... plugins = [FancyOutputter()] ... args = ['--more-fancy'] ... env = {'EVEN_FANCIER': '1'} ... ... def test_fancy_output(self): ... assert "FANCY FANCY FANCY" in self.output, ( ... "got: %s" % self.output) ... def makeSuite(self): ... class TC(unittest.TestCase): ... def runTest(self): ... raise ValueError("I hate fancy stuff") ... return unittest.TestSuite([TC()]) ... >>> res = unittest.TestResult() >>> case = TestFancyOutputter('test_fancy_output') >>> _ = case(res) >>> res.errors [] >>> res.failures [] >>> res.wasSuccessful() True >>> res.testsRun 1 """ import re import sys from warnings import warn try: from cStringIO import StringIO except ImportError: from StringIO import StringIO __all__ = ['PluginTester', 'run'] from os import getpid class MultiProcessFile(object): """ helper for testing multiprocessing multiprocessing poses a problem for doctests, since the strategy of replacing sys.stdout/stderr with file-like objects then inspecting the results won't work: the child processes will write to the objects, but the data will not be reflected in the parent doctest-ing process.
