README FOR IDLE TESTS IN IDLELIB.IDLE_TEST

|
||||
1. Test Files
|
||||
|
||||
The idle directory, idlelib, has over 60 xyz.py files. The idle_test
|
||||
subdirectory should contain a test_xyy.py for each one. (For test modules,
|
||||
make 'xyz' lower case.) Each should start with the following cut-paste
|
||||
template, with the blanks after after '.'. 'as', and '_' filled in.
|
||||
subdirectory should contain a test_xyy.py for each. (For test modules, make
|
||||
'xyz' lower case, and possibly shorten it.) Each file should start with the
|
||||
something like the following template, with the blanks after after '.' and 'as',
|
||||
and before and after '_' filled in.

In Idle, pressing F5 in an editor window with either xyz.py or test_xyz.py
|
||||
loaded will then run the test with the version of Python running Idle and
|
||||
tracebacks will appear in the Shell window. The options are appropriate for
|
||||
developers running (as opposed to importing) either type of file during
|
||||
development: verbosity=2 lists all test_y methods; exit=False avoids a
|
||||
spurious sys.exit traceback when running in Idle. The following command
|
||||
lines also run test_xyz.py
|
||||
|
||||
2. Gui Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Gui tests need 'requires' and 'use_resources' from test.support
|
||||
(test.test_support in 2.7). A test is a gui test if it creates a Tk root or
|
||||
master object either directly or indirectly by instantiating a tkinter or
|
||||
idle class. For the benefit of buildbot machines that do not have a graphics
|
||||
screen, gui tests must be 'guarded' by "requires('gui')" in a setUp
|
||||
function or method. This will typically be setUpClass.
|
||||
---
|
||||
@classmethod
|
||||
def setUpClass(cls):
|
||||
requires('gui')
|
||||
---
|
||||
All gui objects must be destroyed by the end of the test, perhaps in a tearDown
|
||||
function.
|
||||
|
||||
Support.requires('gui') returns true if it is either called in a main module
|
||||
(which never happens on buildbots) or if use_resources contains 'gui'.
|
||||
Use_resources is set by test.regrtest but not by unittest. So when running
|
||||
tests in another module with unittest, we set it ourselves, as in the xyz.py
|
||||
template above.
|
||||
|
||||
Since non-gui tests always run, but gui tests only sometimes, tests of non-gui
|
||||
operations should best avoid needing a gui. Methods that make incidental use of
|
||||
tkinter variables and messageboxes can do this by using the mock classes in
|
||||
idle_test/mock_tk.py.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Running Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Assume that xyz.py and test_xyz.py end with the "if __name__" statements given
|
||||
above. In Idle, pressing F5 in an editor window with either loaded will run all
|
||||
tests in the test_xyz file with the version of Python running Idle. The test
|
||||
report and any tracebacks will appear in the Shell window. The options in these
|
||||
"if __name__" statements are appropriate for developers running (as opposed to
|
||||
importing) either of the files during development: verbosity=2 lists all test
|
||||
methods in the file; exit=False avoids a spurious sys.exit traceback that would
|
||||
otherwise occur when running in Idle. The following command lines also run
|
||||
all test methods, including gui tests, in test_xyz.py. (The exceptions are that
|
||||
idlelib and idlelib.idle start Idle and idlelib.PyShell should (issue 18330).)
|
||||
|
||||
python -m idlelib.xyz # With the capitalization of the xyz module
|
||||
python -m unittest -v idlelib.idle_test.test_xyz
|
||||
python -m idlelib.idle_test.test_xyz
|
||||
|
||||
To run all idle tests either interactively ('>>>', with unittest imported)
|
||||
or from a command line, use one of the following.
|
||||
To run all idle_test/test_*.py tests, either interactively
|
||||
('>>>', with unittest imported) or from a command line, use one of the
|
||||
following. (Notes: unittest does not run gui tests; in 2.7, 'test ' (with the
|
||||
space) is 'test.regrtest '; where present, -v and -ugui can be omitted.)
|
||||
|
||||
>>> unittest.main('idlelib.idle_test', verbosity=2, exit=False)
|
||||
python -m unittest -v idlelib.idle_test
|
||||
python -m test -v -ugui test_idle
|
||||
python -m test.test_idle
|
||||
python -m test test_idle
|
||||
|
||||
The idle tests are 'discovered' in idlelib.idle_test.__init__.load_tests,
|
||||
The idle tests are 'discovered' by idlelib.idle_test.__init__.load_tests,
|
||||
which is also imported into test.test_idle. Normally, neither file should be
|
||||
changed when working on individual test modules. The last command runs runs
|
||||
changed when working on individual test modules. The third command runs runs
|
||||
unittest indirectly through regrtest. The same happens when the entire test
|
||||
suite is run with 'python -m test'. So it must work for buildbots to stay green.
|
||||
suite is run with 'python -m test'. So that command must work for buildbots
|
||||
to stay green. Idle tests must not disturb the environment in a way that
|
||||
makes other tests fail (issue 18081).

||||

||||
To run an individual Testcase or test method, extend the
|
||||
dotted name given to unittest on the command line.

To run an individual Testcase or test method, extend the dotted name given to

python -m unittest -v idlelib.idle_test.text_xyz.Test_case.test_meth
|
||||
|
||||
To disable test/test_idle.py, there are at least two choices.
|
||||
a. Comment out 'load_tests' line, no no tests are discovered (simple and safe);
|
||||
Running no tests passes, so there is no indication that nothing was run.
|
||||
b.Before that line, make module an unexpected skip for regrtest with
|
||||
import unittest; raise unittest.SkipTest('skip for buildbots')
|
||||
When run directly with unittest, this causes a normal exit and traceback.
