pylib scripts
======================
The pylib installs several scripts to support testing and (python)
development. If working from a checkout you may also add ``bin`` to
your ``PATH`` environment variable which makes the scripts available on
your shell prompt.
``py.test`` and ``py.test-$VERSION``
============================================
The ``py.test`` executable is the main tool that the py lib offers;
in fact most code in the py lib is geared towards supporting the
testing process. See the `py.test documentation`_ for extensive
documentation. The ``py.test-$VERSION`` is the same script with
an interpreter specific suffix appended to make
several versions of py.test for using specific interpreters
accessible:
* CPython2.4: py.test-2.4
* CPython2.5: py.test-2.5
* ...
* CPython3.1: py.test-3.1
* Jython-2.5.1: py.test-jython
* pypy-$SUFFIX: py.test-pypy-$SUFFIX
.. _`py.test documentation`: test/index.html
``py.which`` and ``py.which-$VERSION``
=========================================
Usage: ``py.which modulename``
Print the ``__file__`` of the module that is imported via ``import modulename``.
The version-suffix is the same as with ``py.test`` above.
``py.cleanup``
==============
Usage: ``py.cleanup [PATH]``
Delete pyc file recursively, starting from ``PATH`` (which defaults to the
current working directory). Don't follow links and don't recurse into
directories with a ".".
``py.countloc``
===============
Usage: ``py.countloc [PATHS]``
Count (non-empty) lines of python code and number of python files recursively
starting from a ``PATHS`` given on the command line (starting from the current
working directory). Distinguish between test files and normal ones and report
them separately.
``py.lookup``
=============
Usage: ``py.lookup SEARCH_STRING [options]``
Looks recursively at Python files for a ``SEARCH_STRING``, starting from the
present working directory. Prints the line, with the filename and line-number
prepended.

Capturing of stdout/stderr output
=========================================================
By default ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` output is captured separately for
setup and test execution code. If a test or a setup method fails its
according output will usually be shown along with the failure traceback.
In addition, ``stdin`` is set to a "null" object which will fail all
attempts to read from it. This is important if some code paths in
test otherwise might lead to waiting for input - which is usually
not desired when running automated tests.
Setting capturing methods or disabling capturing
-------------------------------------------------
There are two ways in which ``py.test`` can perform capturing:
* ``fd`` level capturing (default): All writes going to the operating
system file descriptors 1 and 2 will be captured, for example writes such
as ``os.write(1, 'hello')``. Capturing on ``fd``-level also includes
**output from subprocesses**.
* ``sys`` level capturing: The ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr`` will
will be replaced with in-memory files and the ``print`` builtin or
output from code like ``sys.stderr.write(...)`` will be captured with
this method.
You can influence output capturing mechanisms from the command line::
py.test -s # disable all capturing
py.test --capture=sys # replace sys.stdout/stderr with in-mem files
py.test --capture=fd # also point filedescriptors 1 and 2 to temp file
If you set capturing values in a conftest file like this::
# conftest.py
option_capture = 'fd'
then all tests in that directory will execute with "fd" style capturing.
Accessing captured output from a test function
---------------------------------------------------
The `funcarg mechanism`_ allows test function a very easy
way to access the captured output by simply using the names
``capsys`` or ``capfd`` in the test function signature. Here
is an example test function that performs some output related
checks::
def test_myoutput(capsys): # or use "capfd" for fd-level
print ("hello")
sys.stderr.write("world\n")
out, err = capsys.readouterr()
assert out == "hello\n"
assert err == "world\n"
print "next"
out, err = capsys.readouterr()
assert out == "next\n"
The ``readouterr()`` call snapshots the output so far -
and capturing will be continued. After the test
function finishes the original streams will
be restored. Using ``capsys`` this way frees your
test from having to care about setting/resetting
output streams and also interacts well with py.test's
own per-test capturing.
If you want to capture on ``fd`` level you can use
the ``capfd`` function argument which offers the exact
same interface.

================================================================================
py.code: higher level python code and introspection objects
================================================================================
The ``py.code`` part of the pylib contains some functionality to help
dealing with Python code objects. Even though working with Python's internal
code objects (as found on frames and callables) can be very powerful, it's
usually also quite cumbersome, because the API provided by core Python is
relatively low level and not very accessible.
The ``py.code`` library tries to simplify accessing the code objects as well
as creating them. There is a small set of interfaces a user needs to deal with,
all nicely bundled together, and with a rich set of 'Pythonic' functionality.
Contents of the library
=======================
Every object in the ``py.code`` library wraps a code Python object related
to code objects, source code, frames and tracebacks: the ``py.code.Code``
class wraps code objects, ``py.code.Source`` source snippets,
``py.code.Traceback` exception tracebacks, ``py.code.Frame`` frame
objects (as found in e.g. tracebacks) and ``py.code.ExceptionInfo`` the
tuple provided by sys.exc_info() (containing exception and traceback
information when an exception occurs). Also in the library is a helper function
``py.code.compile()`` that provides the same functionality as Python's
built-in 'compile()' function, but returns a wrapped code object.
The wrappers
============
``py.code.Code``
-------------------
Code objects are instantiated with a code object or a callable as argument,
and provide functionality to compare themselves with other Code objects, get to
the source file or its contents, create new Code objects from scratch, etc.
A quick example::
>>> import py
>>> c = py.code.Code(py.path.local.read)
>>> c.path.basename
'common.py'
>>> isinstance(c.source(), py.code.Source)
True
>>> str(c.source()).split('\n')[0]
"def read(self, mode='r'):"
``py.code.Source``
---------------------
Source objects wrap snippets of Python source code, providing a simple yet
powerful interface to read, deindent, slice, compare, compile and manipulate
them, things that are not so easy in core Python.
Example::
>>> s = py.code.Source("""\
... def foo():
... print "foo"
... """)
>>> str(s).startswith('def') # automatic de-indentation!
True
>>> s.isparseable()
True
>>> sub = s.getstatement(1) # get the statement starting at line 1
>>> str(sub).strip() # XXX why is the strip() required?!?
'print "foo"'
``py.code.Traceback``
------------------------
Tracebacks are usually not very easy to examine, you need to access certain
somewhat hidden attributes of the traceback's items (resulting in expressions
such as 'fname = tb.tb_next.tb_frame.f_code.co_filename'). The Traceback
interface (and its TracebackItem children) tries to improve this.
Example::
>>> import sys
>>> try:
... py.path.local(100) # illegal argument
... except:
... exc, e, tb = sys.exc_info()
>>> t = py.code.Traceback(tb)
>>> first = t[1] # get the second entry (first is in this doc)
>>> first.path.basename # second is in py/path/local.py
'local.py'
>>> isinstance(first.statement, py.code.Source)
True
>>> str(first.statement).strip().startswith('raise ValueError')
True
``py.code.Frame``
--------------------
Frame wrappers are used in ``py.code.Traceback`` items, and will usually not
directly be instantiated. They provide some nice methods to evaluate code
'inside' the frame (using the frame's local variables), get to the underlying
code (frames have a code attribute that points to a ``py.code.Code`` object)
and examine the arguments.
Example (using the 'first' TracebackItem instance created above)::
>>> frame = first.frame
>>> isinstance(frame.code, py.code.Code)
True
>>> isinstance(frame.eval('self'), py.path.local)
True
>>> [namevalue[0] for namevalue in frame.getargs()]
['cls', 'path']
``py.code.ExceptionInfo``
----------------------------
A wrapper around the tuple returned by sys.exc_info() (will call sys.exc_info()
itself if the tuple is not provided as an argument), provides some handy
attributes to easily access the traceback and exception string.
Example::
>>> import sys
>>> try:
... foobar()
... except:
... excinfo = py.code.ExceptionInfo()
>>> excinfo.typename
'NameError'
>>> isinstance(excinfo.traceback, py.code.Traceback)
True
>>> excinfo.exconly()
"NameError: name 'foobar' is not defined"

py.test feature overview
==================================================
Looping on the failing test set
-----------------------------------------
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 1
mature command line testing tool
====================================================
py.test is a command line tool to collect, run and report about automated tests. It runs well on Linux, Windows and OSX and on Python 2.4 through to 3.1 versions.
It is used in many projects, ranging from running 10 thousands of tests
to a few inlined tests on a command line script. As of version 1.2 you can also
generate a no-dependency py.test-equivalent standalone script that you
can distribute along with your application.
extensive easy plugin system
======================================================
.. _`suprisingly easy`: http://bruynooghe.blogspot.com/2009/12/skipping-slow-test-by-default-in-pytest.html
py.test delegates almost all aspects of its operation to plugins_.
It is `suprisingly easy`_ to add command line options or
do other kind of add-ons and customizations. This can
be done per-project or by distributing a global plugin.
One can can thus modify or add aspects for purposes such as:
* reporting extensions
* customizing collection and execution of tests
* running and managing non-python tests
* managing domain-specific test state setup
* adding non-python tests into the run, e.g. driven by data files
.. _`plugins`: plugin/index.html
distributing tests to your CPUs and SSH accounts
==========================================================
.. _`pytest-xdist`: plugin/xdist.html
Through the use of the separately released `pytest-xdist`_ plugin you
can seemlessly distribute runs to multiple CPUs or remote computers
through SSH and sockets. This plugin also offers a ``--looponfailing``
mode which will continously re-run only failing tests in a subprocess.
supports several testing practises and methods
==================================================================
py.test supports many testing methods conventionally used in
the Python community. It runs traditional `unittest.py`_,
`doctest.py`_, supports `xUnit style setup`_ and nose_ specific
setups and test suites. It offers minimal no-boilerplate model
for configuring and deploying tests written as simple Python
functions or methods. It also integrates `coverage testing
with figleaf`_ or `Javasript unit- and functional testing`_.
.. _`Javasript unit- and functional testing`: plugin/oejskit.html
.. _`coverage testing with figleaf`: plugin/figleaf.html
integrates well with CI systems
====================================================
py.test can produce JUnitXML style output as well as formatted
"resultlog" files that can be postprocessed by Continous Integration
systems such as Hudson or Buildbot easily. It also provides command
line options to control test configuration lookup behaviour or ignoring
certain tests or directories.
no-boilerplate test functions with Python
===================================================
.. _`autocollect`:
automatic Python test discovery
------------------------------------
By default, all python modules with a ``test_*.py``
filename are inspected for finding tests:
* functions with a name beginning with ``test_``
* classes with a leading ``Test`` name and ``test`` prefixed methods.
* ``unittest.TestCase`` subclasses
parametrizing test functions and functional testing
--------------------------------------------------------------
py.test offers the unique `funcargs mechanism`_ for setting up
and passing project-specific objects to Python test functions.
Test Parametrization happens by triggering a call to the same test
function with different argument values. For doing fixtures
using the funcarg mechanism makes your test and setup code
more efficient and more readable. This is especially true
for functional tests which might depend on command line
options and a setup that needs to be shared across
a whole test run.
per-test capturing of output, including subprocesses
----------------------------------------------------
By default, ``py.test`` captures all writes to stdout/stderr.
Output from ``print`` statements as well as from subprocesses
is captured_. When a test fails, the associated captured outputs are shown.
This allows you to put debugging print statements in your code without
being overwhelmed by all the output that might be generated by tests
that do not fail.
.. _captured: plugin/capture.html
assert with the ``assert`` statement
----------------------------------------
``py.test`` allows to use the standard python
``assert statement`` for verifying expectations
and values in Python tests. For example, you can
write the following in your tests::
assert hasattr(x, 'attribute')
to state that your object has a certain ``attribute``. In case this
assertion fails you will see the value of ``x``. Intermediate
values are computed by executing the assert expression a second time.
If you execute code with side effects, e.g. read from a file like this::
assert f.read() != '...'
then you may get a warning from pytest if that assertions
first failed and then succeeded.
asserting expected exceptions
----------------------------------------
In order to write assertions about exceptions, you can use
``py.test.raises`` as a context manager like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
with py.test.raises(ZeroDivisionError):
1 / 0
and if you need to have access to the actual exception info you may use:
.. sourcecode:: python
with py.test.raises(RuntimeError) as excinfo:
def f():
f()
f()
# do checks related to excinfo.type, excinfo.value, excinfo.traceback
If you want to write test code that works on Python2.4 as well,
you may also use two other ways to test for an expected exception:
.. sourcecode:: python
py.test.raises(ExpectedException, func, *args, **kwargs)
py.test.raises(ExpectedException, "func(*args, **kwargs)")
both of which execute the specified function with args and kwargs and
asserts that the given ``ExpectedException`` is raised. The reporter will
provide you with helpful output in case of failures such as *no
exception* or *wrong exception*.
information-rich tracebacks, PDB introspection
-------------------------------------------------------
.. _`example tracebacks`: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/134814/
A lot of care is taken to present useful failure information
and in particular nice and concise Python tracebacks. This
is especially useful if you need to regularly look at failures
from nightly runs, i.e. are detached from the actual test
running session. Here are `example tracebacks`_ for a number of failing
test functions. You can modify traceback printing styles through the
command line. Using the `--pdb`` option you can automatically activate
a PDB `Python debugger`_ when a test fails.
skip or expect-to-fail a test
======================================
py.test has a dedicated `skipping plugin`_ that allows to define
* define "skip" outcomes indicating a platform or a
dependency mismatch.
* "xfail" outcomes indicating an "expected failure" either with
with or without running a test.
* skip and xfail outcomes can be applied at module, class or method
level or even only for certain argument sets of a parametrized function.

funcargs: creating and managing test function arguments
==============================================================
.. currentmodule:: pytest.plugin.pytest_python
.. _`funcarg mechanism`:
Test function arguments and factories
=================================================
A *funcarg* is the short name for "test function argument". Like
any other Python function a test function can receive one or multiple
arguments. When ``py.test`` prepares running a test function
it looks at the neccessary function arguments, locates and calls
factories which then provide the values to be passed to the function.
Basic funcarg example
-----------------------
Let's look at a simple self-contained example that you can put
into a test module::
# ./test_simplefactory.py
def pytest_funcarg__myfuncarg(request):
return 42
def test_function(myfuncarg):
assert myfuncarg == 17
If you run this with ``py.test test_simplefactory.py`` you see something like this::
=========================== test session starts ============================
python: platform linux2 -- Python 2.6.2
test object 1: /home/hpk/hg/py/trunk/example/funcarg/test_simplefactory.py
test_simplefactory.py F
================================ FAILURES ==================================
______________________________ test_function _______________________________
myfuncarg = 42
def test_function(myfuncarg):
> assert myfuncarg == 17
E assert 42 == 17
test_simplefactory.py:6: AssertionError
======================== 1 failed in 0.11 seconds ==========================
This means that the test function was called with a ``myfuncarg`` value
of ``42`` and the assert fails accordingly. Here is how py.test
calls the test function:
1. py.test discovers the ``test_function`` because of the ``test_`` prefix.
The test function needs a function argument named ``myfuncarg``.
A matching factory function is discovered by looking for the
name ``pytest_funcarg__myfuncarg``.
2. ``pytest_funcarg__myfuncarg(request)`` is called and
returns the value for ``myfuncarg``.
3. ``test_function(42)`` call is executed.
Note that if you misspell a function argument or want
to use one that isn't available, you'll see an error
with a list of available function arguments. You can
also issue::
py.test --funcargs test_simplefactory.py
to see available function arguments (which you can also
think of as "resources").

The funcarg **request** object
=============================================
Each funcarg factory receives a **request** object which is tied to a
specific test function call. A request object is passed to a funcarg
factory and provides access to test configuration and context:
``request.function``: python function object requesting the argument
``request.cls``: class object where the test function is defined in or None.
``request.module``: module object where the test function is defined in.

.. _`parametrizing-tests`:
Parametrizing multiple calls to a test function
===========================================================
You can parametrize multiple runs of the same test
function by adding new test function calls with different
function argument values. Let's look at a simple self-contained
example:
Basic generated test example
----------------------------
Let's consider this test module::
# ./test_example.py
def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
if "numiter" in metafunc.funcargnames:
for i in range(10):
metafunc.addcall(funcargs=dict(numiter=i))
def test_func(numiter):
assert numiter < 9
If you run this with ``py.test test_example.py`` you'll get::
============================= test session starts ==========================
python: platform linux2 -- Python 2.6.2
test object 1: /home/hpk/hg/py/trunk/test_example.py
test_example.py .........F
================================ FAILURES ==================================
__________________________ test_func.test_func[9] __________________________
numiter = 9
def test_func(numiter):
> assert numiter < 9
E assert 9 < 9
/home/hpk/hg/py/trunk/test_example.py:10: AssertionError
Here is what happens in detail:
1. ``pytest_generate_tests(metafunc)`` hook is called once for each test
function. It adds ten new function calls with explicit function arguments.
2. **execute tests**: ``test_func(numiter)`` is called ten times with
ten different arguments.
.. _`metafunc object`:
The **metafunc** object
-------------------------------------------
metafunc objects are passed to the ``pytest_generate_tests`` hook.
They help to inspect a testfunction and to generate tests
according to test configuration or values specified
in the class or module where a test function is defined:
``metafunc.funcargnames``: set of required function arguments for given function
``metafunc.function``: underlying python test function
``metafunc.cls``: class object where the test function is defined in or None.
``metafunc.module``: the module object where the test function is defined in.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Get a checkout_ or tarball_ and add paths to your environment variables:
* ``PYTHONPATH`` needs to contain the root directory (where ``py`` resides)
* ``PATH`` needs to contain ``ROOT/bin`` or ``ROOT\bin\win32`` respectively.
There also are helper scripts that set the variables accordingly. On windows
execute::
# inside autoexec.bat or shell startup
c:\\path\to\checkout\bin\env.cmd
on linux/OSX add this to your shell initialization::
# inside e.g. .bashrc
eval `python ~/path/to/checkout/bin/env.py`
both of which which will get you good settings. If you install
the pylib this way you can easily ``hg pull && hg up`` or download
a new tarball_ to follow the development tree.
Note that the scripts manually added like this will look for
py libs in the chain of parent directories of the current working dir.
For example, if you have a layout like this::
mypkg/
subpkg1/
tests/
tests/
py/
issuing ``py.test subpkg1`` will use the py lib
from that projects root directory. If in doubt over where
the pylib comes from you can always do::
py.test --version
to see where py.test is imported from.

py.io
=======
The 'py' lib provides helper classes for capturing IO during
execution of a program.
IO Capturing examples
===============================================
``py.io.StdCapture``
---------------------------
Basic Example::
>>> import py
>>> capture = py.io.StdCapture()
>>> print "hello"
>>> out,err = capture.reset()
>>> out.strip() == "hello"
True
For calling functions you may use a shortcut::
>>> import py
>>> def f(): print "hello"
>>> res, out, err = py.io.StdCapture.call(f)
>>> out.strip() == "hello"
True
``py.io.StdCaptureFD``
---------------------------
If you also want to capture writes to the stdout/stderr
filedescriptors you may invoke::
>>> import py, sys
>>> capture = py.io.StdCaptureFD(out=False, in_=False)
>>> sys.stderr.write("world")
>>> out,err = capture.reset()
>>> err
'world'

py.log documentation and musings
========================================
Foreword
========
This document is an attempt to briefly state the actual specification of the
:code:`py.log` module. It was written by Francois Pinard and also contains
some ideas for enhancing the py.log facilities.
NOTE that :code:`py.log` is subject to refactorings, it may change with
the next release.
This document is meant to trigger or facilitate discussions. It shamelessly
steals from the `Agile Testing`__ comments, and from other sources as well,
without really trying to sort them out.
__ http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/06/keyword-based-logging-with-py-library.html
Logging organisation
====================
The :code:`py.log` module aims a niche comparable to the one of the
`logging module`__ found within the standard Python distributions, yet
with much simpler paradigms for configuration and usage.
__ http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/lib/module-logging.html
Holger Krekel, the main :code:`py` library developer, introduced
the idea of keyword-based logging and the idea of logging *producers* and
*consumers*. A log producer is an object used by the application code
to send messages to various log consumers. When you create a log
producer, you define a set of keywords that are then used to both route
the logging messages to consumers, and to prefix those messages.
In fact, each log producer has a few keywords associated with it for
identification purposes. These keywords form a tuple of strings, and
may be used to later retrieve a particular log producer.
A log producer may (or may not) be associated with a log consumer, meant
to handle log messages in particular ways. The log consumers can be
``STDOUT``, ``STDERR``, log files, syslog, the Windows Event Log, user
defined functions, etc. (Yet, logging to syslog or to the Windows Event
Log is only future plans for now). A log producer has never more than
one consumer at a given time, but it is possible to dynamically switch
a producer to use another consumer. On the other hand, a single log
consumer may be associated with many producers.
Note that creating and associating a producer and a consumer is done
automatically when not otherwise overriden, so using :code:`py` logging
is quite comfortable even in the smallest programs. More typically,
the application programmer will likely design a hierarchy of producers,
and will select keywords appropriately for marking the hierarchy tree.
If a node of the hierarchical tree of producers has to be divided in
sub-trees, all producers in the sub-trees share, as a common prefix, the
keywords of the node being divided. In other words, we go further down
in the hierarchy of producers merely by adding keywords.
Using the py.log library
================================
To use the :code:`py.log` library, the user must import it into a Python
application, create at least one log producer and one log consumer, have
producers and consumers associated, and finally call the log producers
as needed, giving them log messages.
Importing
---------
Once the :code:`py` library is installed on your system, a mere::
import py
holds enough magic for lazily importing the various facilities of the
:code:`py` library when they are first needed. This is really how
:code:`py.log` is made available to the application. For example, after
the above ``import py``, one may directly write ``py.log.Producer(...)``
and everything should work fine, the user does not have to worry about
specifically importing more modules.
Creating a producer
-------------------
There are three ways for creating a log producer instance:
+ As soon as ``py.log`` is first evaluated within an application
program, a default log producer is created, and made available under
the name ``py.log.default``. The keyword ``default`` is associated
with that producer.
+ The ``py.log.Producer()`` constructor may be explicitly called
for creating a new instance of a log producer. That constructor
accepts, as an argument, the keywords that should be associated with
that producer. Keywords may be given either as a tuple of keyword
strings, or as a single space-separated string of keywords.
+ Whenever an attribute is *taken* out of a log producer instance,
for the first time that attribute is taken, a new log producer is
created. The keywords associated with that new producer are those
of the initial producer instance, to which is appended the name of
the attribute being taken.
The last point is especially useful, as it allows using log producers
without further declarations, merely creating them *on-the-fly*.
Creating a consumer
-------------------
There are many ways for creating or denoting a log consumer:
+ A default consumer exists within the ``py.log`` facilities, which
has the effect of writing log messages on the Python standard output
stream. That consumer is associated at the very top of the producer
hierarchy, and as such, is called whenever no other consumer is
found.
+ The notation ``py.log.STDOUT`` accesses a log consumer which writes
log messages on the Python standard output stream.
+ The notation ``py.log.STDERR`` accesses a log consumer which writes
log messages on the Python standard error stream.
+ The ``py.log.File()`` constructor accepts, as argument, either a file
already opened in write mode or any similar file-like object, and
creates a log consumer able to write log messages onto that file.
+ The ``py.log.Path()`` constructor accepts a file name for its first
argument, and creates a log consumer able to write log messages into
that file. The constructor call accepts a few keyword parameters:
+ ``append``, which is ``False`` by default, may be used for
opening the file in append mode instead of write mode.
+ ``delayed_create``, which is ``False`` by default, maybe be used
for opening the file at the latest possible time. Consequently,
the file will not be created if it did not exist, and no actual
log message gets written to it.
+ ``buffering``, which is 1 by default, is used when opening the
file. Buffering can be turned off by specifying a 0 value. The
buffer size may also be selected through this argument.
+ Any user defined function may be used for a log consumer. Such a
function should accept a single argument, which is the message to
write, and do whatever is deemed appropriate by the programmer.
When the need arises, this may be an especially useful and flexible
feature.
+ The special value ``None`` means no consumer at all. This acts just
like if there was a consumer which would silently discard all log
messages sent to it.
Associating producers and consumers
-----------------------------------
Each log producer may have at most one log consumer associated with
it. A log producer gets associated with a log consumer through a
``py.log.set_consumer()`` call. That function accepts two arguments,
the first identifying a producer (a tuple of keyword strings or a single
space-separated string of keywords), the second specifying the precise
consumer to use for that producer. Until this function is called for a
producer, that producer does not have any explicit consumer associated
with it.
Now, the hierarchy of log producers establishes which consumer gets used
whenever a producer has no explicit consumer. When a log producer
has no consumer explicitly associated with it, it dynamically and
recursively inherits the consumer of its parent node, that is, that node
being a bit closer to the root of the hierarchy. In other words, the
rightmost keywords of that producer are dropped until another producer
is found which has an explicit consumer. A nice side-effect is that,
by explicitly associating a consumer with a producer, all consumer-less
producers which appear under that producer, in the hierarchy tree,
automatically *inherits* that consumer.
Writing log messages
--------------------
All log producer instances are also functions, and this is by calling
them that log messages are generated. Each call to a producer object
produces the text for one log entry, which in turn, is sent to the log
consumer for that producer.
The log entry displays, after a prefix identifying the log producer
being used, all arguments given in the call, converted to strings and
space-separated. (This is meant by design to be fairly similar to what
the ``print`` statement does in Python). The prefix itself is made up
of a colon-separated list of keywords associated with the producer, the
whole being set within square brackets.
Note that the consumer is responsible for adding the newline at the end
of the log entry. That final newline is not part of the text for the
log entry.

Miscellaneous features of the py lib
====================================
Mapping the standard python library into py
===========================================
The ``py.std`` object allows lazy access to
standard library modules. For example, to get to the print-exception
functionality of the standard library you can write::
py.std.traceback.print_exc()
without having to do anything else than the usual ``import py``
at the beginning. You can access any other top-level standard
library module this way. This means that you will only trigger
imports of modules that are actually needed. Note that no attempt
is made to import submodules.
Support for interaction with system utilities/binaries
======================================================
Currently, the py lib offers two ways to interact with
system executables. ``py.process.cmdexec()`` invokes
the shell in order to execute a string. The other
one, ``py.path.local``'s 'sysexec()' method lets you
directly execute a binary.
Both approaches will raise an exception in case of a return-
code other than 0 and otherwise return the stdout-output
of the child process.
The shell based approach
------------------------
You can execute a command via your system shell
by doing something like::
out = py.process.cmdexec('ls -v')
However, the ``cmdexec`` approach has a few shortcomings:
- it relies on the underlying system shell
- it neccessitates shell-escaping for expressing arguments
- it does not easily allow to "fix" the binary you want to run.
- it only allows to execute executables from the local
filesystem
.. _sysexec:
local paths have ``sysexec``
----------------------------
In order to synchronously execute an executable file you
can use ``sysexec``::
binsvn.sysexec('ls', 'http://codespeak.net/svn')
where ``binsvn`` is a path that points to the ``svn`` commandline
binary. Note that this function does not offer any shell-escaping
so you have to pass in already separated arguments.
finding an executable local path
--------------------------------
Finding an executable is quite different on multiple platforms.
Currently, the ``PATH`` environment variable based search on
unix platforms is supported::
py.path.local.sysfind('svn')
which returns the first path whose ``basename`` matches ``svn``.
In principle, `sysfind` deploys platform specific algorithms
to perform the search. On Windows, for example, it may look
at the registry (XXX).
To make the story complete, we allow to pass in a second ``checker``
argument that is called for each found executable. For example, if
you have multiple binaries available you may want to select the
right version::
def mysvn(p):
""" check that the given svn binary has version 1.1. """
line = p.execute('--version'').readlines()[0]
if line.find('version 1.1'):
return p
binsvn = py.path.local.sysfind('svn', checker=mysvn)
Cross-Python Version compatibility helpers
=============================================
The ``py.builtin`` namespace provides a number of helpers that help to write python code compatible across Python interpreters, mainly Python2 and Python3. Type ``help(py.builtin)`` on a Python prompt for a the selection of builtins.

Sometimes tests need to invoke functionality which depends

directory, you can use the :py:meth:`monkeypatch.setattr` method to
patch this function before calling into a function which uses it::
import os.path
def getssh(): # pseudo application code
return os.path.join(os.expanduser("~admin"), '.ssh')
def test_mytest(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setattr(os.path, 'expanduser', lambda x: '/tmp/xyz')
x = getssh()
assert x == '/tmp/xyz/.ssh'
After the test function finishes the ``os.path.expanduser`` modification
will be undone.
Running the above example::
$ py.test
PASS

py.path
=======
The 'py' lib provides a uniform high-level api to deal with filesystems
and filesystem-like interfaces: ``py.path``. It aims to offer a central
object to fs-like object trees (reading from and writing to files, adding
files/directories, examining the types and structure, etc.), and out-of-the-box
provides a number of implementations of this API.
Path implementations provided by ``py.path``
===============================================
.. _`local`:
``py.path.local``
--------------------
The first and most obvious of the implementations is a wrapper around a local
filesystem. It's just a bit nicer in usage than the regular Python APIs, and
of course all the functionality is bundled together rather than spread over a
number of modules.
Example usage, here we use the ``py.test.ensuretemp()`` function to create
a ``py.path.local`` object for us (which wraps a directory):
.. sourcecode:: pycon
>>> import py
>>> temppath = py.test.ensuretemp('py.path_documentation')
>>> foopath = temppath.join('foo') # get child 'foo' (lazily)
>>> foopath.check() # check if child 'foo' exists
False
>>> foopath.write('bar') # write some data to it
>>> foopath.check()
True
>>> foopath.read()
'bar'
>>> foofile = foopath.open() # return a 'real' file object
>>> foofile.read(1)
'b'
``py.path.svnurl`` and ``py.path.svnwc``
----------------------------------------------
Two other ``py.path`` implementations that the py lib provides wrap the
popular `Subversion`_ revision control system: the first (called 'svnurl')
by interfacing with a remote server, the second by wrapping a local checkout.
Both allow you to access relatively advanced features such as metadata and
versioning, and both in a way more user-friendly manner than existing other
solutions.
Some example usage of ``py.path.svnurl``:
.. sourcecode:: pycon
.. >>> import py
.. >>> if not py.test.config.option.urlcheck: raise ValueError('skipchunk')
>>> url = py.path.svnurl('http://codespeak.net/svn/py')
>>> info = url.info()
>>> info.kind
'dir'
>>> firstentry = url.log()[-1]
>>> import time
>>> time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', time.gmtime(firstentry.date))
'2004-10-02'
Example usage of ``py.path.svnwc``:
.. sourcecode:: pycon
.. >>> if not py.test.config.option.urlcheck: raise ValueError('skipchunk')
>>> temp = py.test.ensuretemp('py.path_documentation')
>>> wc = py.path.svnwc(temp.join('svnwc'))
>>> wc.checkout('http://codespeak.net/svn/py/dist/py/path/local')
>>> wc.join('local.py').check()
True
.. _`Subversion`: http://subversion.tigris.org/
Common vs. specific API
=======================
All Path objects support a common set of operations, suitable
for many use cases and allowing to transparently switch the
path object within an application (e.g. from "local" to "svnwc").
The common set includes functions such as `path.read()` to read all data
from a file, `path.write()` to write data, `path.listdir()` to get a list
of directory entries, `path.check()` to check if a node exists
and is of a particular type, `path.join()` to get
to a (grand)child, `path.visit()` to recursively walk through a node's
children, etc. Only things that are not common on 'normal' filesystems (yet),
such as handling metadata (e.g. the Subversion "properties") require
using specific APIs.
Examples
---------------------------------
A quick 'cookbook' of small examples that will be useful 'in real life',
which also presents parts of the 'common' API, and shows some non-common
methods:
Searching `.txt` files
..........................
Search for a particular string inside all files with a .txt extension in a
specific directory.
.. sourcecode:: pycon
>>> dirpath = temppath.ensure('testdir', dir=True)
>>> dirpath.join('textfile1.txt').write('foo bar baz')
>>> dirpath.join('textfile2.txt').write('frob bar spam eggs')
>>> subdir = dirpath.ensure('subdir', dir=True)
>>> subdir.join('textfile1.txt').write('foo baz')
>>> subdir.join('textfile2.txt').write('spam eggs spam foo bar spam')
>>> results = []
>>> for fpath in dirpath.visit('*.txt'):
... if 'bar' in fpath.read():
... results.append(fpath.basename)
>>> results.sort()
>>> results
['textfile1.txt', 'textfile2.txt', 'textfile2.txt']
Working with Paths
.......................
This example shows the ``py.path`` features to deal with
filesystem paths Note that the filesystem is never touched,
all operations are performed on a string level (so the paths
don't have to exist, either):
.. sourcecode:: pycon
>>> p1 = py.path.local('/foo/bar')
>>> p2 = p1.join('baz/qux')
>>> p2 == py.path.local('/foo/bar/baz/qux')
True
>>> sep = py.path.local.sep
>>> p2.relto(p1).replace(sep, '/') # os-specific path sep in the string
'baz/qux'
>>> p2.bestrelpath(p1).replace(sep, '/')
'../..'
>>> p2.join(p2.bestrelpath(p1)) == p1
True
>>> p3 = p1 / 'baz/qux' # the / operator allows joining, too
>>> p2 == p3
True
>>> p4 = p1 + ".py"
>>> p4.basename == "bar.py"
True
>>> p4.ext == ".py"
True
>>> p4.purebasename == "bar"
True
This should be possible on every implementation of ``py.path``, so
regardless of whether the implementation wraps a UNIX filesystem, a Windows
one, or a database or object tree, these functions should be available (each
with their own notion of path seperators and dealing with conversions, etc.).
Checking path types
.......................
Now we will show a bit about the powerful 'check()' method on paths, which
allows you to check whether a file exists, what type it is, etc.:
.. sourcecode:: pycon
>>> file1 = temppath.join('file1')
>>> file1.check() # does it exist?
False
>>> file1 = file1.ensure(file=True) # 'touch' the file
>>> file1.check()
True
>>> file1.check(dir=True) # is it a dir?
False
>>> file1.check(file=True) # or a file?
True
>>> file1.check(ext='.txt') # check the extension
False
>>> textfile = temppath.ensure('text.txt', file=True)
>>> textfile.check(ext='.txt')
True
>>> file1.check(basename='file1') # we can use all the path's properties here
True
Setting svn-properties
.......................
As an example of 'uncommon' methods, we'll show how to read and write
properties in an ``py.path.svnwc`` instance:
.. sourcecode:: pycon
.. >>> if not py.test.config.option.urlcheck: raise ValueError('skipchunk')
>>> wc.propget('foo')
''
>>> wc.propset('foo', 'bar')
>>> wc.propget('foo')
'bar'
>>> len(wc.status().prop_modified) # our own props
1
>>> msg = wc.revert() # roll back our changes
>>> len(wc.status().prop_modified)
0
SVN authentication
.......................
Some uncommon functionality can also be provided as extensions, such as SVN
authentication:
.. sourcecode:: pycon
.. >>> if not py.test.config.option.urlcheck: raise ValueError('skipchunk')
>>> auth = py.path.SvnAuth('anonymous', 'user', cache_auth=False,
... interactive=False)
>>> wc.auth = auth
>>> wc.update() # this should work
>>> path = wc.ensure('thisshouldnotexist.txt')
>>> try:
... path.commit('testing')
... except py.process.cmdexec.Error, e:
... pass
>>> 'authorization failed' in str(e)
True
Known problems / limitations
===================================
* The SVN path objects require the "svn" command line,
there is currently no support for python bindings.
Parsing the svn output can lead to problems, particularly
regarding if you have a non-english "locales" setting.
* While the path objects basically work on windows,
there is no attention yet on making unicode paths
work or deal with the famous "8.3" filename issues.
Future plans
============
The Subversion path implementations are based
on the `svn` command line, not on the bindings.
It makes sense now to directly use the bindings.
Moreover, it would be good, also considering
`execnet`_ distribution of programs, to
be able to manipulate Windows Paths on Linux
and vice versa. So we'd like to consider
refactoring the path implementations
to provide this choice (and getting rid
of platform-dependencies as much as possible).
There is some experimental small approach
(``py/path/gateway/``) aiming at having
a convenient Remote Path implementation.
There are various hacks out there to have
Memory-Filesystems and even path objects
being directly mountable under Linux (via `fuse`).
However, the Path object implementations
do not internally have a clean abstraction
of going to the filesystem - so with some
refactoring it should become easier to
have very custom Path objects, still offering
the quite full interface without requiring
to know about all details of the full path
implementation.

helpers for asserting deprecation and other warnings.
=====================================================
recwarn function argument
------------------------------------
You can use the ``recwarn`` funcarg to assert that code triggers
warnings through the Python warnings system. Here is a simple
self-contained test::
# content of test_recwarn.py
def test_hello(recwarn):
from warnings import warn
warn("hello", DeprecationWarning)
w = recwarn.pop(DeprecationWarning)
assert issubclass(w.category, DeprecationWarning)
assert 'hello' in str(w.message)
assert w.filename
assert w.lineno
The ``recwarn`` function argument provides these methods:
* ``pop(category=None)``: return last warning matching the category.
* ``clear()``: clear list of warnings
ensuring a function triggers a deprecation warning
-------------------------------------------------------

advanced skipping for python test functions, classes or modules.

You can mark test functions for a conditional *skip* or as *xfail*,
expected-to-fail. Skipping a test avoids running a test.
Whereas an xfail-marked test usually is run but if it fails it is
not reported in detail and counted separately. The latter allows
to keep track of real implementation problems whereas test skips
are normally tied to a condition, such as a platform or dependency
requirement without which considering or running the test does
not make sense. If a test fails under all conditions then it's
probably best to mark your test as 'xfail'.

With this plugin you can mark test functions for conditional skipping

while xfail-marked tests will run and result in an inverted outcome:
a pass becomes a failure and a fail becomes a semi-passing one.
The need for skipping a test is usually connected to a condition.

**funcargs**: advanced test fixtures and parametrization
==============================================================
.. contents::

:depth: 2
what is a "funcarg"?
=================================================
A *funcarg* is the short name for "test function argument". Each python test function invocation may receive one or multiple function arguments. Function argument values can be created next to the test code or in separate test configuration files which allows test functions to remain ignorant of how its base test values are created. A test function can also be called multiple times with different sets of function arguments, allowing for arbitrary parametrization. A Funcarg parameter can be any value, a simple number or an application object.

.. _factory:
funcarg factories: creating test function arguments
==============================================================
Test functions can specify one ore more arguments ("funcargs")
and a test module or plugin can define factory functions that provide
the function argument. Let's look at a simple self-contained
example that you can put into a test module:
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./test_simplefactory.py
def pytest_funcarg__myfuncarg(request):
return 42
def test_function(myfuncarg):
assert myfuncarg == 17
If you run this with ``py.test test_simplefactory.py`` you see something like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
=========================== test session starts ============================
python: platform linux2 -- Python 2.6.2
test object 1: /home/hpk/hg/py/trunk/example/funcarg/test_simplefactory.py
test_simplefactory.py F
================================ FAILURES ==================================
______________________________ test_function _______________________________
myfuncarg = 42
def test_function(myfuncarg):
> assert myfuncarg == 17
E assert 42 == 17
test_simplefactory.py:6: AssertionError
======================== 1 failed in 0.11 seconds ==========================
This means that the test function was called with a ``myfuncarg`` value
of ``42`` and the assert fails accordingly. Here is how py.test
calls the test function:
1. py.test discovers the ``test_function`` because of the ``test_`` prefix.
The test function needs a function argument named ``myfuncarg``.
A matching factory function is discovered by looking for the
name ``pytest_funcarg__myfuncarg``.
2. ``pytest_funcarg__myfuncarg(request)`` is called and
returns the value for ``myfuncarg``.
3. ``test_function(42)`` call is executed.
Note that if you misspell a function argument or want
to use one that isn't available, you'll see an error
with a list of available function arguments. You can
also issue::
py.test --funcargs test_simplefactory.py
to see available function arguments (which you can also
think of as "resources").
Factory functions receive a `request object`_
which they can use to register setup/teardown
functions or access meta data about a test.
.. _`request object`:
funcarg factory request objects
------------------------------------------
Request objects represents a handle on a specific python test function call. A request object is passed to a funcarg factory and provides access to test configuration and context as well as some `useful caching and finalization helpers`_. Here is a list of attributes:
``request.function``: python function object requesting the argument
``request.cls``: class object where the test function is defined in or None.
``request.module``: module object where the test function is defined in.
``request.config``: access to command line opts and general config
``request.param``: if exists was passed by a previous `metafunc.addcall`_
.. _`useful caching and finalization helpers`:
registering funcarg related finalizers/cleanup
----------------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: python
def addfinalizer(func):
""" call a finalizer function when test function finishes. """
Calling ``request.addfinalizer()`` is useful for scheduling teardown
functions. Here is an example for providing a ``myfile``
object that is to be closed when the execution of a
test function finishes.
.. sourcecode:: python
def pytest_funcarg__myfile(self, request):
# ... create and open a unique per-function "myfile" object ...
request.addfinalizer(lambda: myfile.close())
return myfile
managing fixtures across test modules and test runs
----------------------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: python
def cached_setup(setup, teardown=None, scope="module", extrakey=None):
""" cache and return result of calling setup().
The requested argument name, the scope and the ``extrakey``
determine the cache key. The scope also determines when
teardown(result) will be called. valid scopes are:
scope == 'function': when the single test function run finishes.
scope == 'module': when tests in a different module are run
scope == 'session': when tests of the session have run.
"""
Calling ``request.cached_setup()`` helps you to manage fixture
objects across several scopes. For example, for creating a Database object
that is to be setup only once during a test session you can use the helper
like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
def pytest_funcarg__database(request):
return request.cached_setup(
setup=lambda: Database("..."),
teardown=lambda val: val.close(),
scope="session"
)
dynamically applying a marker
---------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: python
def applymarker(self, marker):
""" apply a marker to a test function invocation.
The 'marker' must be created with py.test.mark.* XYZ.
"""
``request.applymarker(marker)`` will mark the test invocation
with the given marker. For example, if your funcarg factory provides
values which may cause a test function to fail you can call
``request.applymarker(py.test.mark.xfail(reason='flaky config'))``
and this will cause the test to not show tracebacks. See xfail_
for details.
.. _`xfail`: plugin/skipping.html#xfail
requesting values of other funcargs
---------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: python
def getfuncargvalue(name):
""" Lookup and call function argument factory for the given name.
Each function argument is only created once per function setup.
"""
``request.getfuncargvalue(name)`` calls another funcarg factory function.
You can use this function if you want to `decorate a funcarg`_, i.e.
you want to provide the "normal" value but add something
extra. If a factory cannot be found a ``request.Error``
exception will be raised.
.. _`test generators`:
.. _`parametrizing-tests`:
generating parametrized tests
===========================================================
You can parametrize multiple runs of the same test
function by adding new test function calls with different
function argument values. Let's look at a simple self-contained
example:
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./test_example.py
def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
if "numiter" in metafunc.funcargnames:
for i in range(10):
metafunc.addcall(funcargs=dict(numiter=i))
def test_func(numiter):
assert numiter < 9
If you run this with ``py.test test_example.py`` you'll get:
.. sourcecode:: python
============================= test session starts ==========================
python: platform linux2 -- Python 2.6.2
test object 1: /home/hpk/hg/py/trunk/test_example.py
test_example.py .........F
================================ FAILURES ==================================
__________________________ test_func.test_func[9] __________________________
numiter = 9
def test_func(numiter):
> assert numiter < 9
E assert 9 < 9
/home/hpk/hg/py/trunk/test_example.py:10: AssertionError
Here is what happens in detail:
1. ``pytest_generate_tests(metafunc)`` hook is called once for each test
function. It adds ten new function calls with explicit function arguments.
2. **execute tests**: ``test_func(numiter)`` is called ten times with
ten different arguments.
.. _`metafunc object`:
test generators and metafunc objects
-------------------------------------------
metafunc objects are passed to the ``pytest_generate_tests`` hook.
They help to inspect a testfunction and to generate tests
according to test configuration or values specified
in the class or module where a test function is defined:
``metafunc.funcargnames``: set of required function arguments for given function
``metafunc.function``: underlying python test function
``metafunc.cls``: class object where the test function is defined in or None.
``metafunc.module``: the module object where the test function is defined in.
``metafunc.config``: access to command line opts and general config
.. _`metafunc.addcall`:
the ``metafunc.addcall()`` method
-----------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: python
def addcall(funcargs={}, id=None, param=None):
""" trigger a new test function call. """
``funcargs`` can be a dictionary of argument names
mapped to values - providing it is called *direct parametrization*.
If you provide an `id`` it will be used for reporting
and identification purposes. If you don't supply an `id`
the stringified counter of the list of added calls will be used.
``id`` values needs to be unique between all
invocations for a given test function.
``param`` if specified will be seen by any
`funcarg factory`_ as a ``request.param`` attribute.
Setting it is called *indirect parametrization*.
Indirect parametrization is preferable if test values are
expensive to setup or can only be created in certain environments.
Test generators and thus ``addcall()`` invocations are performed
during test collection which is separate from the actual test
setup and test run phase. With distributed testing collection
and test setup/run happens in different process.
.. _`tutorial examples`:
Tutorial Examples
=======================================
To see how you can implement custom paramtrization schemes,
see e.g. `parametrizing tests, generalized`_ (blog post).
To enable creation of test support code that can flexibly
register setup/teardown functions see the `blog post about
the monkeypatch funcarg`_.
If you find issues or have further suggestions for improving
the mechanism you are welcome to checkout `contact possibilities`_ page.
.. _`application setup tutorial example`:
.. _appsetup:
application specific test setup and fixtures
---------------------------------------------------------
Here is a basic useful step-wise example for handling application
specific test setup. The goal is to have one place where we have the
glue and test support code for bootstrapping and configuring application objects and allow
test modules and test functions to stay ignorant of involved details.
step 1: use and implement a test/app-specific "mysetup"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's write a simple test function living in a test file
``test_sample.py`` that uses a ``mysetup`` funcarg for accessing test
specific setup.
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./test_sample.py
def test_answer(mysetup):
app = mysetup.myapp()
answer = app.question()
assert answer == 42
To run this test py.test needs to find and call a factory to
obtain the required ``mysetup`` function argument. The test
function interacts with the provided application specific setup.
To provide the ``mysetup`` function argument we write down
a factory method in a `local plugin`_ by putting the
following code into a local ``conftest.py``:
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./conftest.py
from myapp import MyApp
def pytest_funcarg__mysetup(request):
return MySetup()
class MySetup:
def myapp(self):
return MyApp()
To run the example we represent our application by putting a pseudo MyApp object into ``myapp.py``:
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./myapp.py
class MyApp:
def question(self):
return 6 * 9
You can now run the test with ``py.test test_sample.py`` which will
show this failure:
.. sourcecode:: python
========================= test session starts =========================
python: platform linux2 -- Python 2.6.2
test object 1: /home/hpk/hg/py/trunk/example/funcarg/mysetup
test_sample.py F

_____________________________ test_answer _____________________________

def test_answer(mysetup):
app = mysetup.myapp()
answer = app.question()
> assert answer == 42
E assert 54 == 42
test_sample.py:5: AssertionError
====================== 1 failed in 0.11 seconds =======================
This means that our ``mysetup`` object was successfully instantiated,
we asked it to provide an application instance and checking
its ``question`` method resulted in the wrong answer. If you are
confused as to what the concrete question or answers actually mean,
please see here_ :) Otherwise proceed to step 2.
.. _here: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy
.. _`local plugin`: customize.html#local-plugin
.. _`tut-cmdlineoption`:
step 2: adding a command line option
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you provide a "funcarg" from a plugin you can easily make methods
depend on command line options or environment settings.
To add a command line option we update the conftest.py of
the previous example to add a command line option
and to offer a new mysetup method:
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./conftest.py
import py
from myapp import MyApp
def pytest_funcarg__mysetup(request):
return MySetup(request)
def pytest_addoption(parser):
parser.addoption("--ssh", action="store", default=None,
help="specify ssh host to run tests with")
class MySetup:
def __init__(self, request):
self.config = request.config
def myapp(self):
return MyApp()
def getsshconnection(self):
host = self.config.option.ssh
if host is None:
py.test.skip("specify ssh host with --ssh")
return execnet.SshGateway(host)
Now any test function can use the ``mysetup.getsshconnection()`` method like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./test_ssh.py
class TestClass:
def test_function(self, mysetup):
conn = mysetup.getsshconnection()
# work with conn
Running ``py.test test_ssh.py`` without specifying a command line option will result in a skipped test_function:
.. sourcecode:: python
========================= test session starts =========================
python: platform linux2 -- Python 2.6.2
test object 1: test_ssh.py
test_ssh.py s
________________________ skipped test summary _________________________
conftest.py:23: [1] Skipped: 'specify ssh host with --ssh'
====================== 1 skipped in 0.11 seconds ======================
Note especially how the test function could stay clear knowing about how to construct test state values or when to skip and with what message. The test function can concentrate on actual test code and test state factories can interact with execution of tests.
If you specify a command line option like ``py.test --ssh=python.org`` the test will get un-skipped and actually execute.
.. _`accept example`:
example: specifying and selecting acceptance tests
--------------------------------------------------------------
.. sourcecode:: python
# ./conftest.py
def pytest_option(parser):
group = parser.getgroup("myproject")
group.addoption("-A", dest="acceptance", action="store_true",
help="run (slow) acceptance tests")
def pytest_funcarg__accept(request):
return AcceptFuncarg(request)
class AcceptFuncarg:
def __init__(self, request):
if not request.config.option.acceptance:
py.test.skip("specify -A to run acceptance tests")
self.tmpdir = request.config.mktemp(request.function.__name__, numbered=True)
def run(self, cmd):
""" called by test code to execute an acceptance test. """
self.tmpdir.chdir()
return py.process.cmdexec(cmd)
and the actual test function example:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_some_acceptance_aspect(accept):
accept.tmpdir.mkdir("somesub")
result = accept.run("ls -la")
assert "somesub" in result
If you run this test without specifying a command line option
the test will get skipped with an appropriate message. Otherwise
you can start to add convenience and test support methods
to your AcceptFuncarg and drive running of tools or
applications and provide ways to do assertions about
the output.
.. _`decorate a funcarg`:
example: decorating a funcarg in a test module
--------------------------------------------------------------
For larger scale setups it's sometimes useful to decorare
a funcarg just for a particular test module. We can
extend the `accept example`_ by putting this in our test module:
.. sourcecode:: python
def pytest_funcarg__accept(request):
# call the next factory (living in our conftest.py)
arg = request.getfuncargvalue("accept")
# create a special layout in our tempdir
arg.tmpdir.mkdir("special")
return arg
class TestSpecialAcceptance:
def test_sometest(self, accept):
assert accept.tmpdir.join("special").check()
Our module level factory will be invoked first and it can
ask its request object to call the next factory and then
decorate its result. This mechanism allows us to stay
ignorant of how/where the function argument is provided -
in our example from a `conftest plugin`_.
sidenote: the temporary directory used here are instances of
the `py.path.local`_ class which provides many of the os.path
methods in a convenient way.

configurable per-test stdout/stderr capturing mechanisms.
=========================================================
.. contents::
:local:
This plugin captures stdout/stderr output for each test separately.
In case of test failures this captured output is shown grouped
togtther with the test.
The plugin also provides test function arguments that help to
assert stdout/stderr output from within your tests, see the
`funcarg example`_.
Capturing of input/output streams during tests
---------------------------------------------------
By default ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr`` are substituted with
temporary streams during the execution of tests and setup/teardown code.
During the whole testing process it will re-use the same temporary
streams allowing to play well with the logging module which easily
takes ownership on these streams.
Also, 'sys.stdin' is substituted with a file-like "null" object that
does not return any values. This is to immediately error out
on tests that wait on reading something from stdin.
You can influence output capturing mechanisms from the command line::
py.test -s # disable all capturing
py.test --capture=sys # replace sys.stdout/stderr with in-mem files
py.test --capture=fd # point filedescriptors 1 and 2 to temp file
If you set capturing values in a conftest file like this::
# conftest.py
option_capture = 'fd'
then all tests in that directory will execute with "fd" style capturing.
sys-level capturing
------------------------------------------
Capturing on 'sys' level means that ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr``
will be replaced with in-memory files (``py.io.TextIO`` to be precise)
that capture writes and decode non-unicode strings to a unicode object
(using a default, usually, UTF-8, encoding).
FD-level capturing and subprocesses
------------------------------------------
The ``fd`` based method means that writes going to system level files
based on the standard file descriptors will be captured, for example
writes such as ``os.write(1, 'hello')`` will be captured properly.
Capturing on fd-level will include output generated from
any subprocesses created during a test.
.. _`funcarg example`:
Example Usage of the capturing Function arguments
---------------------------------------------------
You can use the `capsys funcarg`_ and `capfd funcarg`_ to
capture writes to stdout and stderr streams. Using the
funcargs frees your test from having to care about setting/resetting
the old streams and also interacts well with py.test's own
per-test capturing. Here is an example test function:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_myoutput(capsys):
print ("hello")
sys.stderr.write("world\n")
out, err = capsys.readouterr()
assert out == "hello\n"
assert err == "world\n"
print "next"
out, err = capsys.readouterr()
assert out == "next\n"
The ``readouterr()`` call snapshots the output so far -
and capturing will be continued. After the test
function finishes the original streams will
be restored. If you want to capture on
the filedescriptor level you can use the ``capfd`` function
argument which offers the same interface.
.. _`capsys funcarg`:
the 'capsys' test function argument
-----------------------------------
captures writes to sys.stdout/sys.stderr and makes
them available successively via a ``capsys.readouterr()`` method
which returns a ``(out, err)`` tuple of captured snapshot strings.
.. _`capfd funcarg`:
the 'capfd' test function argument
----------------------------------
captures writes to file descriptors 1 and 2 and makes
snapshotted ``(out, err)`` string tuples available
via the ``capsys.readouterr()`` method. If the underlying
platform does not have ``os.dup`` (e.g. Jython) tests using
this funcarg will automatically skip.

safely patch object attributes, dicts and environment variables.
================================================================
.. contents::
:local:
Usage
----------------
Use the `monkeypatch funcarg`_ to tweak your global test environment
for running a particular test. You can safely set/del an attribute,
dictionary item or environment variable by respective methods
on the monkeypatch funcarg. If you want e.g. to set an ENV1 variable
and have os.path.expanduser return a particular directory, you can
write it down like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_mytest(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setenv('ENV1', 'myval')
monkeypatch.setattr(os.path, 'expanduser', lambda x: '/tmp/xyz')
... # your test code that uses those patched values implicitely
After the test function finished all modifications will be undone,
because the ``monkeypatch.undo()`` method is registered as a finalizer.
``monkeypatch.setattr/delattr/delitem/delenv()`` all
by default raise an Exception if the target does not exist.
Pass ``raising=False`` if you want to skip this check.
prepending to PATH or other environment variables
---------------------------------------------------------
To prepend a value to an already existing environment parameter:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_mypath_finding(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setenv('PATH', 'x/y', prepend=":")
# in bash language: export PATH=x/y:$PATH
calling "undo" finalization explicitely
-----------------------------------------
At the end of function execution py.test invokes
a teardown hook which undoes all monkeypatch changes.
If you do not want to wait that long you can call
finalization explicitely::
monkeypatch.undo()
This will undo previous changes. This call consumes the
undo stack. Calling it a second time has no effect unless
you start monkeypatching after the undo call.

.. _`monkeypatch funcarg`:
the 'monkeypatch' test function argument
----------------------------------------
The returned ``monkeypatch`` funcarg provides these
helper methods to modify objects, dictionaries or os.environ::
monkeypatch.setattr(obj, name, value, raising=True)
monkeypatch.delattr(obj, name, raising=True)
monkeypatch.setitem(mapping, name, value)
monkeypatch.delitem(obj, name, raising=True)
monkeypatch.setenv(name, value, prepend=False)
monkeypatch.delenv(name, value, raising=True)
monkeypatch.syspath_prepend(path)
All modifications will be undone when the requesting
test function finished its execution. The ``raising``
parameter determines if a KeyError or AttributeError
will be raised if the set/deletion operation has no target.

Since version 1.0 funcargs_ present the new and

test suites. *funcargs* also provide flexible
`test parametrization`_ which goes way beyond
what you can do with the xUnit setup/teardown-method

Python, Java and many other languages have a tradition
of using xUnit_ style testing. This typically
involves the call of a ``setup`` method before
a test function is run and ``teardown`` after
it finishes. With ``py.test`` there are three
scopes for which you can provide setup/teardown
hooks to provide test fixtures: per-module, per-class
and per-method/function. ``py.test`` will
discover and call according methods automatically.
The `unittest plugin`_ also will intregate ``unittest.TestCase``
instances into a test run and call respective setup/teardown methods.
All setup/teardown methods are optional.
The following methods are called at module level if they exist:
.. sourcecode:: python
def setup_module(module):
""" setup up any state specific to the execution
of the given module.
"""
def teardown_module(module):
""" teardown any state that was previously setup
with a setup_module method.
"""
The following hooks are available for test classes:
.. sourcecode:: python
def setup_class(cls):
""" setup up any state specific to the execution
of the given class (which usually contains tests).
"""
def teardown_class(cls):
""" teardown any state that was previously setup
with a call to setup_class.
"""
def setup_method(self, method):
""" setup up any state tied to the execution of the given
method in a class. setup_method is invoked for every
test method of a class.
"""
def teardown_method(self, method):
""" teardown any state that was previously setup
with a setup_method call.
"""
The last two hooks, ``setup_method`` and ``teardown_method``, are
equivalent to ``setUp`` and ``tearDown`` in the Python standard
library's `unittest.py module`_.
Note that it possible that setup/teardown pairs are invoked multiple
times per testing process.

py.xml: Lightweight and flexible xml/html generation
====================================================
Motivation
==========
There are a plethora of frameworks and libraries to generate
xml and html trees. However, many of them are large, have a
steep learning curve and are often hard to debug. Not to
speak of the fact that they are frameworks to begin with.
The py lib strives to offer enough functionality to represent
itself and especially its API in html or xml.
.. _xist: http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/xist/index.html
a pythonic object model , please
================================
The py lib offers a pythonic way to generate xml/html, based on
ideas from xist_ which `uses python class objects`_ to build
xml trees. However, xist_'s implementation is somewhat heavy
because it has additional goals like transformations and
supporting many namespaces. But its basic idea is very easy.
.. _`uses python class objects`: http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/xist/Howto.html
generating arbitrary xml structures
-----------------------------------
With ``py.xml.Namespace`` you have the basis
to generate custom xml-fragments on the fly::
class ns(py.xml.Namespace):
"my custom xml namespace"
doc = ns.books(
ns.book(
ns.author("May Day"),
ns.title("python for java programmers"),),
ns.book(
ns.author("why"),
ns.title("Java for Python programmers"),),
publisher="N.N",
)
print doc.unicode(indent=2).encode('utf8')
will give you this representation::
<books publisher="N.N">
<book>
<author>May Day</author>
<title>python for java programmers</title></book>
<book>
<author>why</author>
<title>Java for Python programmers</title></book></books>
In a sentence: positional arguments are child-tags and
keyword-arguments are attributes.
On a side note, you'll see that the unicode-serializer
supports a nice indentation style which keeps your generated
html readable, basically through emulating python's white
space significance by putting closing-tags rightmost and
almost invisible at first glance :-)
basic example for generating html
---------------------------------
Consider this example::
from py.xml import html # html namespace
paras = "First Para", "Second para"
doc = html.html(
html.head(
html.meta(name="Content-Type", value="text/html; charset=latin1")),
html.body(
[html.p(p) for p in paras]))
print unicode(doc).encode('latin1')
Again, tags are objects which contain tags and have attributes.
More exactly, Tags inherit from the list type and thus can be
manipulated as list objects. They additionally support a default
way to represent themselves as a serialized unicode object.
If you happen to look at the py.xml implementation you'll
note that the tag/namespace implementation consumes some 50 lines
with another 50 lines for the unicode serialization code.
CSS-styling your html Tags
--------------------------
One aspect where many of the huge python xml/html generation
frameworks utterly fail is a clean and convenient integration
of CSS styling. Often, developers are left alone with keeping
CSS style definitions in sync with some style files
represented as strings (often in a separate .css file). Not
only is this hard to debug but the missing abstractions make
it hard to modify the styling of your tags or to choose custom
style representations (inline, html.head or external). Add the
Browers usual tolerance of messyness and errors in Style
references and welcome to hell, known as the domain of
developing web applications :-)
By contrast, consider this CSS styling example::
class my(html):
"my initial custom style"
class body(html.body):
style = html.Style(font_size = "120%")
class h2(html.h2):
style = html.Style(background = "grey")
class p(html.p):
style = html.Style(font_weight="bold")
doc = my.html(
my.head(),
my.body(
my.h2("hello world"),
my.p("bold as bold can")
)
)
print doc.unicode(indent=2)
This will give you a small'n mean self contained
represenation by default::
<html>
<head/>
<body style="font-size: 120%">
<h2 style="background: grey">hello world</h2>
<p style="font-weight: bold">bold as bold can</p></body></html>
Most importantly, note that the inline-styling is just an
implementation detail of the unicode serialization code.
You can easily modify the serialization to put your styling into the
``html.head`` or in a separate file and autogenerate CSS-class
names or ids.
Hey, you could even write tests that you are using correct
styles suitable for specific browser requirements. Did i mention
that the ability to easily write tests for your generated
html and its serialization could help to develop _stable_ user
interfaces?
More to come ...
----------------
For now, i don't think we should strive to offer much more
than the above. However, it is probably not hard to offer
*partial serialization* to allow generating maybe hundreds of
complex html documents per second. Basically we would allow
putting callables both as Tag content and as values of
attributes. A slightly more advanced Serialization would then
produce a list of unicode objects intermingled with callables.
At HTTP-Request time the callables would get called to
complete the probably request-specific serialization of
your Tags. Hum, it's probably harder to explain this than to
actually code it :-)

extended xUnit style setup fixtures
====================================
.. _`funcargs`: funcargs.html

.. _`unittest plugin`: plugin/unittest.html
.. _`xUnit`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit
Python, Java and many other languages support xUnit_ style testing.
This typically involves the call of a ``setup`` ("fixture") method
before running a test function and ``teardown`` after it has finished.
``py.test`` supports a more fine-grained model of setup/teardown
handling by optionally calling per-module and per-class hooks.
module level setup/teardown
=============================================
If you have multiple test functions and test classes in a single
module you can optionally implement the following fixture methods
which will usually be called once for all the functions::
def setup_module(module):
""" setup up any state specific to the execution
of the given module.
"""
def teardown_module(module):
""" teardown any state that was previously setup
with a setup_module method.
"""
class level setup/teardown
=============================================
Similarly, the following methods are called at class level before
and after all test methods of the class are called::
def setup_class(cls):
""" setup up any state specific to the execution
of the given class (which usually contains tests).
"""
def teardown_class(cls):
""" teardown any state that was previously setup
with a call to setup_class.
"""
method and function level setup/teardown
=============================================
Similarly, the following methods are called around each method invocation::
def setup_method(self, method):
""" setup up any state tied to the execution of the given
method in a class. setup_method is invoked for every
test method of a class.
"""
def teardown_method(self, method):
""" teardown any state that was previously setup
with a setup_method call.
"""
If you rather define test functions directly at module level
you can also use the following functions to implement fixtures::
def setup_function(function):
""" setup up any state tied to the execution of the given
function. Invoked for every test function in the module.
"""
def teardown_method(function):
""" teardown any state that was previously setup
with a setup_function call.
Note that it possible that setup/teardown pairs are invoked multiple
times per testing process.

"""
configurable per-test stdout/stderr capturing mechanisms.
This plugin captures stdout/stderr output for each test separately.
In case of test failures this captured output is shown grouped
togtther with the test.
The plugin also provides test function arguments that help to
assert stdout/stderr output from within your tests, see the
`funcarg example`_.
Capturing of input/output streams during tests
---------------------------------------------------
By default ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr`` are substituted with
temporary streams during the execution of tests and setup/teardown code.
During the whole testing process it will re-use the same temporary
streams allowing to play well with the logging module which easily
takes ownership on these streams.
Also, 'sys.stdin' is substituted with a file-like "null" object that
does not return any values. This is to immediately error out
on tests that wait on reading something from stdin.
You can influence output capturing mechanisms from the command line::
py.test -s # disable all capturing
py.test --capture=sys # replace sys.stdout/stderr with in-mem files
py.test --capture=fd # point filedescriptors 1 and 2 to temp file
If you set capturing values in a conftest file like this::
# conftest.py
option_capture = 'fd'
then all tests in that directory will execute with "fd" style capturing.
sys-level capturing
------------------------------------------
Capturing on 'sys' level means that ``sys.stdout`` and ``sys.stderr``
will be replaced with in-memory files (``py.io.TextIO`` to be precise)
that capture writes and decode non-unicode strings to a unicode object
(using a default, usually, UTF-8, encoding).
FD-level capturing and subprocesses
------------------------------------------
The ``fd`` based method means that writes going to system level files
based on the standard file descriptors will be captured, for example
writes such as ``os.write(1, 'hello')`` will be captured properly.
Capturing on fd-level will include output generated from
any subprocesses created during a test.
.. _`funcarg example`:
Example Usage of the capturing Function arguments
---------------------------------------------------
You can use the `capsys funcarg`_ and `capfd funcarg`_ to
capture writes to stdout and stderr streams. Using the
funcargs frees your test from having to care about setting/resetting
the old streams and also interacts well with py.test's own
per-test capturing. Here is an example test function:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_myoutput(capsys):
print ("hello")
sys.stderr.write("world\\n")
out, err = capsys.readouterr()
assert out == "hello\\n"
assert err == "world\\n"
print "next"
out, err = capsys.readouterr()
assert out == "next\\n"
The ``readouterr()`` call snapshots the output so far -
and capturing will be continued. After the test
function finishes the original streams will
be restored. If you want to capture on
the filedescriptor level you can use the ``capfd`` function
argument which offers the same interface.

``capsys`` and ``capfd`` function arguments.

"""
safely patch object attributes, dicts and environment variables.
Usage
----------------
Use the `monkeypatch funcarg`_ to tweak your global test environment
for running a particular test. You can safely set/del an attribute,
dictionary item or environment variable by respective methods
on the monkeypatch funcarg. If you want e.g. to set an ENV1 variable
and have os.path.expanduser return a particular directory, you can
write it down like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_mytest(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setenv('ENV1', 'myval')
monkeypatch.setattr(os.path, 'expanduser', lambda x: '/tmp/xyz')
... # your test code that uses those patched values implicitely
After the test function finished all modifications will be undone,
because the ``monkeypatch.undo()`` method is registered as a finalizer.
``monkeypatch.setattr/delattr/delitem/delenv()`` all
by default raise an Exception if the target does not exist.
Pass ``raising=False`` if you want to skip this check.
prepending to PATH or other environment variables
---------------------------------------------------------
To prepend a value to an already existing environment parameter:
.. sourcecode:: python
def test_mypath_finding(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setenv('PATH', 'x/y', prepend=":")
# in bash language: export PATH=x/y:$PATH
calling "undo" finalization explicitely
-----------------------------------------
At the end of function execution py.test invokes
a teardown hook which undoes all monkeypatch changes.
If you do not want to wait that long you can call
finalization explicitely::
monkeypatch.undo()
This will undo previous changes. This call consumes the
undo stack. Calling it a second time has no effect unless
you start monkeypatching after the undo call.
