The Unit Tests Window
|
Previous Top Next |
This window provides an advanced GUI for running tests based on unittest, the standard Python
module.
Toolbar Commands:
Refresh
Loads unit tests from the currently active module. Note that this involves importing the module
into the integrated interpreter. After loading a module you can then select (check) the tests you
want to run at the provided tree view. Double clicking on a test or a test class name takes you to
the source code where the test method or class are defined.
Clear
Clears all the tests and related information from this window.
Run
Run the selected tests. After running the tests their status is indicated by the colour next to the
test in the tree view. Green indicates success, Purple indicates assertion failure and Red
indicates a Python exception (i.e. any other error). The pane below the tree view shows the
overall statistics and you can view information about the errors that occurred by clicking on the
tests that failed.
Stop tests
If clicked while running the tests the testing process stops.
Select all
Selects all available tests.
Deselect all
Deselects all available tests.
Select failed tests
After running a set of tests this command selects the tests that were not successful.
Expand all
Expands all tree nodes
Collapse all
Collapses all tree nodes
Note:
To use this GUI to run tests from multiple Python files (for example tests1.py, tests2.py and
tests3.py) create a new script with the following content:
from tests1 import *
from tests2 import *
from tests3 import *
Then use the Unit Tests GUI with that file. (Press the Refresh button while this file is active).
