"""
This is a top level package, hosting the entire CSB test framework. It is divided
into several major parts:

    - test cases, located under csb.test.cases
    - test data, in C{/csb/test/data} (not a package)
    - test console, in C{/csb/test/app.py}

This module, csb.test, contains all the glue-code functions, classes and 
decorators you would need in order to write tests for CSB.    

    1. Configuration and Tree
    
       L{Config<csb.test.Config>} is a common config object shared between CSB
       tests. Each config instance contains properties like:
            
            - data: the data folder, automatically discovered and loaded in
              csb.test.Config.DATA at module import time
            - temp: a default temp folder, which test cases can use
        
       Each L{Config<csb.test.Config>} provides a convenient way to retrieve
       files from C{/csb/test/data}. Be sure to check out L{Config.getTestFile}
       and L{Config.getPickle}. In case you need a temp file, use
       L{Config.getTempStream} or have a look at L{csb.io.TempFile} and
       L{csb.io.TempFolder}. 
        
       All test data files should be placed in the C{data} folder. All test
       modules must be placed in the root package: csb.test.cases. There is
       a strict naming convention for test modules: the name of a test module
       should be the same as the name of the CSB API package it tests. For 
       example, if you are writing tests for C{csb/bio/io/__init__.py}, the
       test module must be C{csb/test/cases/bio/io/__init__.py}. C{csb.test.cases}
       is the root package of all test modules in CSB.
    
    2. Writing Tests
    
       Writing a test is easy. All you need is to import csb.test and then
       create your own test cases, derived from L{csb.test.Case}:
       
           >>> import csb.test
           >>> @csb.test.unit
               class TestSomeClass(csb.test.Case):
                   def setUp(self):
                       super(TestSomeClass, self).setUp()
                       # do something with self.config here...
       
       In this way your test case instance is automatically equipped with a 
       reference to the test config, so your test method can be:

           >>> @csb.test.unit
               class TestSomeClass(csb.test.Case):
                   def testSomeMethod(self):
                       myDataFile = self.config.getTestFile('some.file')
                       self.assert...
        
       The "unit" decorator marks a test case as a collection of unit tests.
       All possibilities are: L{csb.test.unit}, L{csb.test.functional}, L{csb.test.custom},
       and L{csb.test.regression}.
                   
       Writing custom (a.k.a. "data", "slow", "dynamic") tests is a little bit
       more work. Custom tests must be functions, not classes. Basically a
       custom test is a function, which builds a unittest.TestSuite instance 
       and then returns it when called without arguments.
       
       Regression tests are usually created in response to reported bugs. Therefore, 
       the best practice is to mark each test method with its relevant bug ID:
       
           >>> @csb.test.regression
               class SomeClassRegressions(csb.test.Case)
                   def testSomeFeature(self)
                   \"""
                   @see: [CSB 000XXXX] 
                   \"""
                   # regression test body...
           
    3. Style Guide:
    
       - name test case packages as already described
       - group tests in csb.test.Case-s and name them properly
       - prefix test methods with "test", like "testParser" - very important
       - use camelCase for methods and variables. This applies to all the
         code under csb.test (including test) and does not apply to the rest
         of the library!
       - for functional tests it's okay to define just one test method: runTest
       - for unit tests you should create more specific test names, for example: 
         "testParseFile" - a unit test for some method called "parse_file"
       - use csb.test decorators to mark tests as unit, functional, regression, etc.
       - make every test module executable::
       
           if __name__ == '__main__':
               csb.test.Console()   # Discovers and runs all test cases in the module
    
    4. Test Execution
    
       Test discovery is handled by C{test builders} and a test runner
       C{app}. Test builders are subclasses of L{AbstractTestBuilder}.  
       For every test type (unit, functional, regression, custom) there is a
       corresponding test builder. L{AnyTestBuilder} is a special builder which
       scans for unit, regression and functional tests at the same time.

       Test builder classes inherit the following test discovery methods:
    
           - C{loadTests} - load tests from a test namespace. Wildcard
             namespaces are handled by C{loadAllTests}
           - C{loadAllTests} - load tests from the given namespace, and
             from all sub-packages (recursive)
           - C{loadFromFile} - load tests from an absolute file name
           - C{loadMultipleTests} - calls C{loadTests} for a list of 
             namespaces and combines all loaded tests in a single suite
             
       Each of those return test suite objects, which can be directly executed
       with python's unittest runner.
       
       Much simpler way to execute a test suite is to use our test app 
       (C{csb/test/app.py}), which is simply an instance of L{csb.test.Console}::
       
           $ python csb/test/app.py --help
       
       The app has two main arguments: 
    
           - test type - tells the app which TestBuilder to use for test dicsovery
             ("any" triggers L{AnyTestBuilder}, "unit" - L{UnitTestBuilder}, etc.) 
           - test namespaces - a list of "dotted" test modules, for example::
    
                csb.test.cases.bio.io.*   # io and sub-packages
                csb.test.cases.bio.utils  # only utils
                .                         # current module
    
       In addition to running the app from the command line, you can run it
       also programmatically by instantiating L{csb.test.Console}. You can
       construct a test console object by passing a list of test namespace(s)
       and a test builder class to the Console's constructor.

    
    5. Commit Policies
    
       Follow these guidelines when making changes to the repository:
    
           - B{no bugs in "trunk"}: after fixing a bug or implementing a new
             feature, make sure at least the default test set passes by running
             the test console without any arguments. This is equivalent to:
             app.py -t any "csb.test.cases.*". (If no test case from this set covers
             the affected code, create a test case first, as described in the other
             policies)
    
           - B{no recurrent issues}: when a bug is found, first write a regression
             test with a proper "@see: BugID" tag in the docstring. Run the test
             to make sure it fails. After fixing the bug, run the test again before
             you commit, as required by the previous policy
             
           - B{test all new features}: there should be a test case for every new feature
             we implement. One possible approach is to write a test case first and
             make sure it fails; when the new feature is ready, run the test again
             to make sure it passes

@warning: for compatibility reasons do NOT import and use the unittest module
          directly. Always import unittest from csb.test, which is guaranteed
          to be python 2.7+ compatible. The standard unittest under python 2.6
          is missing some features, that's why csb.test will take care of
          replacing it with unittest2 instead.
