Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
I thought through my design criteria a bit, and in the process, decided on a
specific concrete proposal to test.
1. It should be possible to run one test. It should easy to run (or not) the
test (or tests) for a module when editing its file. It should be easy to tell
when editing that there is a human test. These would both be served the a
couple of lines in the 'if name' block (after the unittest lines) such as
from idlelib.idle_test.htest import run
run(GetCfgSectionNameDialog) # or other class
2. It should be possible to see which modules have a human test. But I do not
want a directory of 20+ 10-line files.
3. I want to factor out as much boilerplate code as possible. This will both
make it easier to add tests and to modify the behavior of all tests at once.
Something like the following may work for both criteria.
In idle_test/htest.py
GetCfgSectionNameDialog_spec = {
'kwds': {'title':'Get Name',
'message':'Enter something',
'used-names': {'abc'}},
'msg': "After the text entered with [Ok] is stripped, <nothing>, "
"'abc', or more that 30 chars are errors. "
"Close with a valid entry (printed), [Cancel], or [X]"}
def run(klas):
root = tk.Tk()
klas_spec = globals[klas.__name__+'_arg']
klas_spec.kwds['parent'] = root # does Idle use 'parent' consistently?
def run_klas():
widget = klas(**klas_spec.kwds)
try:
print(widget.result)
except AttributeError:
pass
Message(root, text=klas_spec.msg).pack()
Button(root, text='Test ' + klas.__name__, command=run_klas).pack()
root.mainloop()
4. It should be possible to discover and run all tests. With one object per
widget in htest, each with a marked name, it is easy to filter globals for
marked objects.
filter(lambda ob: hasattr(ob, '__name__') and '_args' in ob.__names__,
globals())
