A graphical tool to assist running test suites.
Project description
Cricket
Cricket is part of the BeeWare suite. The project website is http://pybee.org/cricket.
Cricket is a graphical tool that helps you run your test suites.
Normal test runners dump all output to the console, and provide very little detail while the suite is running. As a result:
You can’t start looking at failures until the test suite has completed running,
It isn’t a very accessible format for identifying patterns in test failures,
It can be hard (or cumbersome) to re-run any tests that have failed.
Why the name cricket? Test Cricket is the most prestigious version of the game of cricket. Games last for up to 5 days… just like running some test suites. The usual approach for making cricket watchable is a generous dose of beer; in programming, Ballmer Peak limits come into effect, so something else is required…
Quickstart
At present, Cricket has support for:
To use Cricket, install it with pip:
$ pip install cricket
Then, to run your unittest suite:
$ cricket-unittest
Or, in a pytest project:
$ cricket-pytest
Or, in a Django project:
$ cricket-django
cricket-django will also work in Django’s own tests directory – i.e., you can use cricket-django to run Django’s own test suite (for Django 1.6 or later).
Running cricket will display a GUI window. Hit “Run all”, and watch your test suite execute. A progress bar is displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the window, along with an estimate of time remaining.
While the suite is running, you can click on test names to see the output of that test. The icon in the tree, and the summary panel on the right, will display the status of the test, as well as any output or error text.
Documentation
Documentation for cricket can be found on Read The Docs.
