Hi monotasker. I'm starting to run something like that and I'm giving gluon/contrib/webclient.py a try.
I intend to prepare an environment to allow running tests using both unittest2 or pytest. I think next week I'll already have a decently running environment. -- Vinicius Assef On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 6:06 PM, monotasker <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to use pytest (instead of unittest) to do unit testing for a > web2py app. I've written a script (attached: runtest.py) to launch py.test, > which then finds and executes my test files.
