<!-- ==================== MODULE DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Module testutil</h1><p class="nomargin-top"><span class="codelink"><a href="CedarBackup2.testutil-pysrc.html">source code</a></span></p>
<p>Provides unit-testing utilities.</p>
<p>These utilities are kept here, separate from util.py, because they
provide common functionality that I do not want exported
"publicly" once Cedar Backup is installed on a system. They
are only used for unit testing, and are only useful within the source
tree.</p>
<p>Many of these functions are in here because they are "good
enough" for unit test work but are not robust enough to be real
public functions. Others (like <a
href="CedarBackup2.testutil-module.html#removedir"
class="link">removedir</a>) do what they are supposed to, but I don't
want responsibility for making them available to others.</p>

Some platforms don't seem to be able to set an age precisely. As a
result, whereas we might have intended to set an age of 86400
seconds, we actually get an age of 86399.375 seconds. When
util.calculateFileAge() looks at that the file, it calculates an
age of 0.999992766204 days, which then gets truncated down to zero
whole days. The tests get very confused. To work around this, I
always subtract off one additional second as a fudge factor. That
way, the file age will be <i>at least</i> as old as requested later
on.

<p>Equivalent of <code>failUnlessRaises</code>, but used for property
assignments instead.</p>
<p>It's nice to be able to use <code>failUnlessRaises</code> to check
that a method call raises the exception that you expect. Unfortunately,
this method can't be used to check Python propery assignments, even
though these property assignments are actually implemented underneath as
methods.</p>
<p>This function (which can be easily called by unit test classes)
provides an easy way to wrap the assignment checks. It's not pretty, or
as intuitive as the original check it's modeled on, but it does work.</p>
<p>Let's assume you make this method call:</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
testCase.failUnlessAssignRaises(ValueError, collectDir, "absolutePath", absolutePath)
</pre>
<p>If you do this, a test case failure will be raised unless the
assignment:</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
collectDir.absolutePath = absolutePath
</pre>
<p>fails with a <code>ValueError</code> exception. The failure message
differentiates between the case where no exception was raised and the
case where the wrong exception was raised.</p>
<dl class="fields">
<dt>Parameters:</dt>
<dd><ul class="nomargin-top">
<li><strong class="pname"><code>testCase</code></strong> - PyUnit test case object (i.e. self).</li>
<li><strong class="pname"><code>exception</code></strong> - Exception that is expected to be raised.</li>
<li><strong class="pname"><code>obj</code></strong> - Object whose property is to be assigned to.</li>
<li><strong class="pname"><code>prop</code></strong> - Name of the property, as a string.</li>
<li><strong class="pname"><code>value</code></strong> - Value that is to be assigned to the property.</li>
</ul></dd>
</dl>
<div class="fields"> <p><strong>Note:</strong>
Internally, the <code>missed</code> and <code>instead</code>
variables are used rather than directly calling
<code>testCase.fail</code> upon noticing a problem because the act
of "failure" itself generates an exception that would be
caught by the general <code>except</code> clause.

<p>Indicates whether hex float literals are allowed by the
interpreter.</p>
<p>As far back as 2004, some Python documentation indicated that octal
and hex notation applied only to integer literals. However, prior to
Python 2.5, it was legal to construct a float with an argument like 0xAC
on some platforms. This check provides a an indication of whether the
current interpreter supports that behavior.</p>
<p>This check exists so that unit tests can continue to test the same
thing as always for pre-2.5 interpreters (i.e. making sure backwards
compatibility doesn't break) while still continuing to work for later
interpreters.</p>
<p>The returned value is True if hex float literals are allowed, False
otherwise.</p>
