Yes, in fact I've used it extensively before. It's very nice but there were at least two drawbacks which I tried to circumvent with sphinxtest:
Doctests in a documentation file are run as a singular test. But you often want to test your code in different use-cases which you don't want to scatter over multiple files. If all tests are run in a singular environment it may get messy to find the root cause of a failure. The sphinx doctest builder is difficult to integrate into other utilities like continuous testing frameworks (these usually expect unittests). I will experiment a bit more with doctest blocks and see if I can get comfortable with those :) Regards, Ontje --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
