pytest: helps you write better programs
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``pytest`` framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet
|
|
scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.
|
|
|
|
An example of a simple test:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
# content of test_sample.py
|
|
def inc(x):
|
|
return x + 1
|
|
|
|
def test_answer():
|
|
assert inc(3) == 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
To execute it::
|
|
|
|
$ pytest
|
|
======= test session starts ========
|
|
platform linux -- Python 3.5.2, pytest-3.0.7, py-1.4.32, pluggy-0.4.0
|
|
rootdir: $REGENDOC_TMPDIR, inifile:
|
|
collected 1 items
|
|
|
|
test_sample.py F
|
|
|
|
======= FAILURES ========
|
|
_______ test_answer ________
|
|
|
|
def test_answer():
|
|
> assert inc(3) == 5
|
|
E assert 4 == 5
|
|
E + where 4 = inc(3)
|
|
|
|
test_sample.py:5: AssertionError
|
|
======= 1 failed in 0.12 seconds ========
|
|
|
|
Due to ``pytest``'s detailed assertion introspection, only plain ``assert`` statements are used.
|
|
See :ref:`Getting Started <getstarted>` for more examples.
