A test framework for Python that makes mocking and iterating over code with tests a breeze
Project description
TestSlide: Fluent Python Testing
TestSlide makes writing tests fluid and easy. Whether you prefer classic unit testing, TDD or BDD, it helps you be productive, with its easy to use well behaved mocks and its awesome test runner.
It is designed to work well with other test frameworks, so you can use it on top of existing unittest.TestCase without rewriting everything.
Quickstart
Install:
pip install TestSlide
Scaffold the code you want to test backup.py:
class Backup(object):
def delete(self, path):
pass
Write a test case backup_test.py describing the expected behavior:
import testslide, backup, storage
class TestBackupDelete(testslide.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
super().setUp()
self.storage_mock = testslide.StrictMock(storage.Client)
# Makes storage.Client(timeout=60) return self.storage_mock
self.mock_constructor(storage, 'Client')\
.for_call(timeout=60)\
.to_return_value(self.storage_mock)
def test_delete_from_storage(self):
# Set behavior and assertion for the call at the mock
self.mock_callable(self.storage_mock, 'delete')\
.for_call('/file/to/delete')\
.to_return_value(True)\
.and_assert_called_once()
backup.Backup().delete('/file/to/delete')
TestSlide's StrictMock, mock_constructor() and mock_callable() are seamlessly integrated with Python's TestCase.
Run the test and see the failure:
TestSlide's mocks failure messages guide you towards the solution, that you can now implement:
import storage
class Backup(object):
def __init__(self):
self.storage = storage.Client(timeout=60)
def delete(self, path):
self.storage.delete(path)
And watch the test go green:
It is all about letting the failure messages guide you towards the solution. There's a plethora of validation inside TestSlide's mocks, so you can trust they will help you iterate quickly when writing code and also cover you when breaking changes are introduced.
