Continuous testing for paranoid developers.
Project description
PyZen is a continuous test runner for paranoid developers. As long as the script is running, it will monitor for changes in your code and re-run your test suite when needed. There are frontends for multiple frameworks as well as several notification UIs.
Features
Monitor source code and run tests on change
OS-specific async notification UI
Colored test output
Installation
PyZen can be installed from PyPI using easy_install:
$ easy_install PyZen
or pip:
$ pip install PyZen
Frontends
PyZen provides multiple frontends to collect tests and run the continuous tester.
Django
To setup PyZen under Django add pyzen to your INSTALLED_APPS setting. The run manage.py zen to start the tester process. You can give an application label or test name using the same format as the built-in test command.
Flask
The Flask frontend is maintained as separate package, Flask-Zen.
Distutils
The PyZen package provides a distutils command zen that will run the test suite configured in setup.py under PyZen. Run setup.py zen to start the tester process.
Standalone
The pyzen script provides a wrapper to run any test script under PyZen. Run pyzen yourscript.py arg1 arg2 ... to start the tester process. No configuration options are available at this time.
Options
- --nocolorflag, default: False
Disable colored output.
- -u, --uidefault: autodetect
Force the use of a specific UI module. Available options are win32, osx, linux, and none.
UIs
PyZen provides a UI to indicate the current test status after each run, even if the console is in the background. In addition to the three platform-specific interfaces, the none interface will disable this display. See the frontend documentation for details, but most frontends offer a --ui option to override the autodetection.
Win32
The default UI on Windows is a systray icon indicating the current test status and balloon notifications after each run. This UI is tested on Windows XP and higher, though it may work with Windows 2000.
OS X
The default UI on OS X uses Growl via AppleScript. A Growl notification is posted after each test run.
Linux
The default UI on Linux uses libnotify via the pynotify library. This is installed by default on current versions of Ubuntu. If pynotify is not found, the interface will be disabled.
Test Runner
By default PyZen enhances the test output with color. It is known to work on both Windows and *nix systems. Most frontends have a --nocolor option to disable it if needed.
