unittest2, discover and tox
===============================
Running unittests with 'discover'
------------------------------------------
.. _Pygments: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygments
The discover_ project allows to discover and run unittests
and we can easily integrate it in a ``tox`` run. As an example,
perform a checkout of Pygments_::
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main
and add the following ``tox.ini`` to it::
[tox]
envlist = py25,py26,py27
[testenv]
changedir=tests
commands=discover
deps=discover
If you now invoke ``tox`` you will see the creation of
three virtual environments and a unittest-run performed
in each of them.
Running unittest2 and sphinx tests in one go
-----------------------------------------------------
.. _`Michael Foord`: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/
.. _tox.ini: http://code.google.com/p/mock/source/browse/tox.ini
`Michael Foord`_ has contributed a ``tox.ini`` file that
allows you to run all tests for his mock_ project,
including some sphinx-based doctests. If you checkout
its repository with:
hg clone https://code.google.com/p/mock/
the checkout has a tox.ini_ that looks like this::
[tox]
envlist = py24,py25,py26,py27
[testenv]
deps=unittest2
commands=unit2 discover []
[testenv:py26]
commands=
unit2 discover []
sphinx-build -b doctest docs html
sphinx-build docs html
deps =
unittest2
sphinx
[testenv:py27]
commands=
unit2 discover []
sphinx-build -b doctest docs html
sphinx-build docs html
deps =
unittest2
sphinx
mock uses unittest2_ to run the tests. Invoking ``tox`` starts test
discovery by executing the ``unit2 discover``
commands on Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 respectively. Against
Python2.6 and Python2.7 it will additionally run sphinx-mediated
doctests. If building the docs fails, due to a reST error, or
any of the doctests fails, it will be reported by the tox run.
The ``[]`` parentheses in the commands provide :ref:`positional substitution` which means
you can e.g. type::
tox -- -f -s SOMEPATH
which will ultimately invoke::
unit2 discover -f -s SOMEPATH
in each of the environments. This allows you to customize test discovery
in your ``tox`` runs.
