I think that your approach is not fair.
You should create a TestCase for each of your data input, add it to a TestSuite
and run the test suite.
Here is a stub for loading just a 'dict' type, hoping it is helpful
import unittest
import glob
from string import split,strip
def getUSStates(*args):
#Fake
return {'AK:': 'Alaska', 'CA:': 'California', 'AR:': 'Arkansas',
'CO:': 'Colorado', 'WY:': 'Wyoming', 'AZ:': 'Arizona', 'AL:':
'Alabama'}
class TestStubException( Exception ):
'''
Test case creation failed.
'''
class TestStub( unittest.TestCase ):
def __init__( self, fname, farg, t_out, out ):
unittest.TestCase.__init__(self,'testRun')
self.fname = eval(fname,globals())
self.input = farg
self.fparse = getattr(self,'load_%s' % t_out)
self.output = self.fparse( out )
def load_dict(self,data):
assert data[0] is '{', 'Wrong dict format %s' % data
assert data[-1] is '}', 'Wrong dict format %s' % data
items = data[1:-1].split(',')
return dict( map( split, map( strip, items ) ) )
def testRun(self):
self.assertEquals( self.fname(self.input), self.output )
def build_tests( filename ):
try:
fd = open( filename, 'r')
tc = TestStub( *fd.read().split("~") )
del fd
return tc
except:
import traceback; traceback.print_exc()
raise TestStubException( 'Failed creating test case from file
: %s'%filename )
if __name__== '__main__':
tc_data = glob.glob('*.txt') # all text files with data
ts = unittest.TestSuite()
for tc_file in tc_data:
ts.addTest( build_tests( tc_file ) )
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(ts)
