I figured out another option, which I like and will use for now. I'm
sharing on here in case anyone is interested.
I just learned about execfile. Basically, I have a runtests.py file with:
import unittest
import glob
db = testDb
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
for file in glob.glob('applications/myapp/test/test*.py'):
execfile(file, globals())
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)
Then each file with tests just needs to be in that folder and start with
the word test. The file would write a class extending unittest.TestCase,
add it to suite, and beforehand would call execfile on any code in my
models subdirectories that I want to test without having to make a request
through the corresponding controller. An example test file would be:
# testFoo.py
execfile('applications/myapp/models/foo/0.py')
class TestFoo(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
pass
def test_foobar(self):
# put in whatever tests
self.assertTrue(True)
suite.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(TestFoo))
