hmmm, something say like:
def unittests():
"""
test the ability to run unittests
"""
import os
import sys
import glob
import cStringIO
from gluon.shell import env
#save stdout so we can capture data and reset it.
stdout = sys.stdout
stderr = sys.stderr
#get a list of the modules to test
cdir = os.path.join('applications', request.application, 'tests')
if not os.path.isdir(cdir):
die(errmsg)
files = glob.glob(os.path.join(cdir, '*.py'))
html = ''
test_count = 0
pass_count = 0
fail_count = 0
for testfile in files:
test_count += 1
html += '<h2>Running Test "%s.py" ... done.</h2><br/>\n' % testfile
# Reload environment before each test.
globs = env(request.application, c='default', f='index',
import_models=True, extra_request={'test_db':True})
sys.stdout = cStringIO.StringIO()
execfile(testfile, globs)
report = sys.stdout.getvalue().strip()
if report.find('FAIL') >= 0:
fail_count += 1
html += '<h3 class="failed">FAILED</h3>\n'
html += CODE(report, language='web2py', \
link='/examples/global/vars/').xml()
else:
pass_count += 1
html += '<h3 class="passed">PASSED</h3>\n'
sys.stdout = stdout
return dict(html=XML(html),
test_count = test_count,
pass_count = pass_count,
fail_count = fail_count)
I'm in the process of creating some functions that will allow me to run some
doctests and unittests from the browser on google app engine. the above is
the start of my method for unit testing. i think it basically does what
bruno suggests, but just not in an interactive shell environment.
i'll post a slice when i get my testing tools together.
