Products.PloneTestCase 0.9.13

The PloneTestCase package provides

• The function installProduct to install a Zope product into the test environment.

• The function installPackage to install a Python package registered via five:registerPackage into the test environment. Requires Zope 2.10.4 or higher.

• The function setupPloneSite to create a Plone portal in the test db.

  Note: setupPloneSite accepts an optional products argument, which allows you to specify a list of products that will be added to the portal using the quickinstaller tool. Since 0.8.2 you can also pass an extension_profiles argument to import GS extension profiles.

• The class PloneTestCase of which to derive your test cases.

• The class FunctionalTestCase of which to derive your test cases for functional unit testing.

• The classes Sandboxed and Functional to mix-in with your own test cases.

• The constants portal_name, portal_owner, default_policy, default_products, default_base_profile, default_extension_profiles, default_user, and default_password.

• The constant PLONE21 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 2.1.

• The constant PLONE25 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 2.5.

• The constant PLONE30 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.0.

• The constant PLONE31 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.1.

• The constant PLONE32 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.2.

• The constant PLONE33 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 3.3.

• The constant PLONE40 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 4.0.

• The constant PLONE50 which evaluates to true for Plone versions >= 5.0.

• The module utils which contains all utility functions from the ZopeTestCase package.

Example PloneTestCase

from Products.PloneTestCase import PloneTestCase

PloneTestCase.installProduct('SomeProduct')
PloneTestCase.setupPloneSite(products=('SomeProduct',))

class TestSomething(PloneTestCase.PloneTestCase):

    def afterSetup(self):
        self.folder.invokeFactory('Document', 'doc')

    def testEditDocument(self):
        self.folder.doc.edit(text_format='plain', text='data')
        self.assertEqual(self.folder.doc.EditableBody(), 'data')

Example PloneTestCase setup with GenericSetup

from Products.PloneTestCase import PloneTestCase

PloneTestCase.installProduct('SomeProduct')
PloneTestCase.setupPloneSite(extension_profiles=('SomeProduct:default',))

Please see the docs of the ZopeTestCase package, especially those of the PortalTestCase class.

0.9.13 - 2011-01-03

• Depend on Products.CMFPlone instead of Plone. [elro]

• Relax the test for # of roles slightly for compatibility with Plone 4.1. [davisagli]

0.9.12 - 2010-09-20

• Fix the cleanup method called by safe_load_site to mark the component registry as uninitialized regardless of whether the flag is in Zope2.App.zcml or Products.Five.zcml. [davisagli]

0.9.11 - 2010-09-15

• Install plone.app.imaging monkeypatches during test setup. [davisagli]

• Add layer support coming from zope.testrunner and removed from zope.testing [jfroche]

0.9.10 - 2010-07-13

• Make compatible with Zope 2.13 and avoid setup problems with zope.schema vocabularies. [hannosch]

• Revert r100668 as the issue does not occur anymore. [stefan]

0.9.9 - 2009-11-14

• Folder created with _createObjectByType was being reported as having portal_type ‘ATFolder’ in portal_catalog. Reindexing it flips it to the correct ‘Folder’. [esteele]

• Reset memoize RAMCaches on tear down. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/9425 [stefan]

• Install blob-enabled types from plone.app.blob during test setup. [witsch]

• Install the TinyMCE product during test runs. [hannosch]

• Add the sunburst theme to the default extension profiles for Plone 4. [davisagli]

• Specify dependencies in a backwards compatible way. [hannosch]

• Changed behavior of default_extension_profiles. We always add the default profiles now. You can still override this via passing in an explicit empty default_extension_profiles argument to the setupPloneSite function. [hannosch]

• Disentangle the product installation code for PLONE50 and before. The base amount of packages is quite different. [hannosch]

• Moved the Plone version determination code into its own module. [hannosch]

• Adjusted the PLONE40 constant to be PLONE50 and check for Plone trunk. [hannosch]

• In Plone trunk manually install the ATContentTypes default profile. [hannosch]

0.9.8 - 2009-04-16

• Protect against missing portal_quickinstaller tool. [hannosch]

• Fixed deprecation warnings for use of Globals. [hannosch]

• Adjusted _createHomeFolder to create the ‘Members’ folder if it isn’t created by the site creation code. [hannosch]

• Adjusted PLONE40 check after the migrations have been moved out of the CMFPlone package. [hannosch]

• Added PLONE33 constant. [stefan]

0.9.8b4 - 2008-10-26

• Added PLONE32 constant. [stefan]

0.9.8b3 - 2008-10-16

• Bugfix: The default member-area was created before the portal was fully configured. [stefan]

• Bugfix: Reindex security of member-area after taking ownership. [stefan]

0.9.8b2 - 2008-10-09

• Egg was broken due to use of svn export. Who’d have thunk setuptools makes a difference? [stefan]

0.9.8b1 - 2008-10-05

• Install all Plone products quietly.

• Eggified Products.PloneTestCase.

0.9.7

• Added PLONE31 and PLONE40 constants.

• The PloneSite layer can now be set up more than once. Thanks to Andreas Zeidler and Balazs Ree.

0.9.6

• Deal with new skin setup in CMF 2.1 and up.

• Provide hasPackage and installPackage if ZopeTestCase supports it.

• Changed license to GPL, cleaning up my act.

• Use new stateless GenericSetup API in Plone 3.0 and up.

0.9.4

• Minor test fixes to cater for changes in PlonePAS and CMF.

0.9.3

• In 0.9.2 we accidentally lost the ability to override getPortal. Fixed.

• Spell ‘placefulSetup’ like ‘placefulSetUp’ for consistency with zope.app.testing.

0.9.2

• Improved support for the local component registry. We now register it right after it has been created in Plone >= 3.0, as it is needed during site setup. We also set the portal as a site whenever it is accessed to get CMF skin acquisition to work.

0.9.0

• Prepared for switching ZopeTestCase to Zope3 interfaces.

• Load etc/site.zcml lazily instead of using the wrapper.

• Import extension profiles one by one to gain better control.

• Added a PloneTestCase.addProfile() method that allows to import extension profiles into the site. This is an alternative to passing the ‘extension_profiles’ argument to setupPloneSite().

• Create Plone site lazily using layer.PloneSite.

• Renamed utils.py to five.py.

0.8.6

• Starting with Plone 3.0 the portal is a component registry as well. We perform the necessary registration automatically now.

• Made sure layer cleanup resets Five.zcml to “not initialized”.

0.8.4

• Allow to pass a base profile to the setupPloneSite function.

• Added PLONE30 constant.

• Made application of StringIO monkey patch conditional, as it is part of CMFPlone/patches starting with Plone 3.0

• Added a ZCMLLayer to support recent Zopes and zope.testing.testrunner. Thanks to Whit Morris.

0.8.2

• Added support for passing a list of GenericSetup extension profiles to the setupPloneSite function.

0.8.0

• Added support for Plone 2.5.
