./manage.py test --with-progressive --logging-clear-handlers

Installation

pip install nose-progressive

Or, get the bleeding-edge, unreleased version:

pip install -e git://github.com/erikrose/nose-progressive.git#egg=nose-progressive

Upgrading

To upgrade from an older version of nose-progressive, assuming you didn’t install it from git:

pip install --upgrade nose-progressive

Use

The simple way:

nosetests --with-progressive

My favorite way, which suppresses any noisy log messages thrown by tests unless they fail:

nosetests --with-progressive --logging-clear-handlers

To use nose-progressive by default, add with-progressive=1 to .noserc.

Options

'  {dim_format}{editor} +{line_number:<{line_number_max_width}} {path}{normal}{function_format}{hash_if_function}{function}{normal}'

Caveats and Known Bugs

• Makes a cosmetic mess when used with ipdb. Consider pdbpp instead.

• Some logging handlers will smear bits of the progress bar upward if they don’t print complete lines. I hope to fix this with some monkeypatching, but in the meantime, passing --logging-clear-handlers works around this.

Kudos

Thanks to Kumar McMillan for his nose-nicedots plugin, which provided inspiration and starting points for the path formatting. Thanks to my support.mozilla.com teammates for writing so many tests that this became necessary. Thanks to Jeff Balogh for django-nose, without which I would have had little motivation to write this.

Version History

1.5.2

• Handle KeyboardInterrupt more gracefully. (Alexander Artemenko)

• Look up exception messages more compatibly with Python 3.4. (Paul Weaver)

• Gracefully handle proxied SyntaxErrors when using the logcapture plugin. (Lucas Taylor)

• Add LICENSE to MANIFEST.in. (Sanny Kumar)

1.5.1

• Avoid a TypeError when running nose-progressive from within invoke, which obscures the terminal size.

• Fix a Unicode error when running setup.py inside Fedora’s mock tool.

1.5

• Add the --progressive-editor-shortcut-template option, letting you completely customize the editor shortcuts. Now we support any text editor that has a go-to-line option, no matter how it’s spelled.

• Drop support for Python 2.5. We needed modern string formatting.

• Add first-class support for Python 3.2.3 and higher. It turned out my tox config was just wrong.

• Tolerate Nones in traceback components: file names and code extracts particularly. (Kyle Gibson)

1.4.3

• Fix bar not showing up in Python 3.

• Add honest-to-goodness, tox-tested support for Python 3.3. 3.2 may come later. 3.1 and earlier won’t, because its stdlib hadn’t got its curses act together yet.

1.4.2

• Clear the TestLoader’s path cache (new in nose 1.3.0) after counting the tests. This solves the problem of finding 0 tests to run under nose 1.3.0.

• Make progress bar tests less brittle so they don’t falsely fail on OS X 10.8 or other platforms where the terminfo isn’t exactly what I wrote the test under.

1.4.1

• Fix the “AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘raw_input’” error that sometimes occurred at pdb breakpoints. Thanks to David Baumgold for finding the cause!

1.4

• Make the final “OK!” green and bold. This helps me pick it out faster.

• Warn when using --with-id and --verbosity=2 or higher. (Jason Ward)

• Add experimental Python 3 support. Functionality might work, but tests need to be ported to pass.

• Allow other nose plugins to process the test loader. (Ratnadeep Debnath)

• Show parameter values in the names of generated tests. (Bruno Binet)

• Tolerate a corner case in skipped tests without crashing. (Will Kahn-Greene)

• Swallow chars that don’t decode with UTF-8 when printing tracebacks: both in filenames and source code. (Thanks to Bruno Binet for some patches inspiring a rethink here.)

1.3

• Redo progress bar. Now it is made of beautiful terminal magic instead of equal signs. It looks best when your terminal supports at least 16 colors, but there’s a monochrome fallback for fewer. Or, you can customize the colors using several new command-line options.

• Fix a Unicode encoding error that happened when non-ASCII chars appeared in traceback text. (Naoya INADA)

1.2.1

• Tolerate empty tracebacks in the formatter. This avoids exacerbating crashes that occur before any test frames.

1.2

• Fix Python 2.5 support. (David Warde-Farley)

• Fix display of skipped tests in Python 2.7.

• Require nose 0.11.0 or greater. Before that, test counting didn’t work sometimes when test generators were involved. (David Warde-Farley)

• Hide the progress bar by default when not outputting to a terminal. This lets you redirect nose-progressive’s output to a file or another process and get a nice list of tracebacks.

• Add an option for forcing the display of terminal formatting, even when redirecting the output to a non-terminal.

• Factor out the terminal formatting library into its own package.

• Start using tox for testing under multiple versions of Python.

1.1.1

• Fix a bug that would cause the formatter to crash on many SyntaxErrors. This also improves the heuristics for identifying the test frame when there’s a SyntaxError: we can now find it as long as the error happens at a frame below that of the test.

1.1

• You can now set the editor nose-progressive uses separately from the $EDITOR shell variable.

1.0

• Every stack frame is now an editor shortcut. Not only does this make it easier to navigate, but it’s shorter in both height and width.

• Reformat tracebacks for great justice. Subtle coloring guides the eye down the list of function names.

• Hide unittest-internal and other pre-test stack frames when printing tracebacks. Fewer frames = less noise onscreen = less thinking = win!

• Add an option to use absolute paths in tracebacks.

0.7

• Pick the correct stack frame for editor shortcuts to syntax errors. Had to handle syntax errors specially, since they don’t make it into the traceback proper.

• Show the actual value of the $EDITOR env var rather than just “$EDITOR”. I’m hoping it makes it a little more obvious what to do with it, plus it gives a working default if $EDITOR is not set. Plus plus it doesn’t explode if you have flags in your $EDITOR, e.g. bbedit -w.

0.6.1

• Fix a crash triggered by a test having no defined module. –failed should always work now.

0.6

• Major refactoring. nose-progressive now has its own testrunner and test result class. This makes it fully compatible with the capture plugin and other plugins that make output.

• Fully support custom error classes, like Skips and Deprecations. They are printed during the test run, bolded if they represent failure, and summarized in the counts after the run.

• Tests which write directly to stderr or stdout no longer smear the progress bar.

• Add $EDITOR to editor shortcut: no more typing!

• Work with tests that don’t have an address() method.

• Work with tests that return a null filename from test_address().

• Don’t pave over pdb prompts (anymore?).

• Don’t obscure the traceback when the @with_setup decorator on a test generator fails.

0.5.1

• Fix a crash on error when file of a stack frame or function of a test are None.

0.5

• Guess the frame of the test, and spit that out as the editor shortcut. No more pointers to eq_()!

• More reliably determine the editor shortcut pathname, e.g. when running tests from an egg distribution directory.

• Embolden bits of the summary that indicate errors or failures.

0.4

• Add time elapsed to the final summary.

• Print “OK!” if no tests went ill. I seem to need this explicit affirmation in order to avoid thinking after a test run.

• In the test failure output, switch the order of the line number and file name. This makes it work with the BBEdit command-line tool in addition to emacs and vi.

0.3.1

• Cowboy attempt to fix a crasher on error by changing the entry_point to nose.plugin.0.10

0.3

• Progress bar now works with plain old nosetests, not just django-nose. Sorry about that!

• Stop printing the test name twice in the progress bar.

• Add basic terminal resizing (SIGWINCH) support. Expanding is great, but contracting is still a little ugly. Suggestions welcome.

0.2

• Real progress bar!

• Don’t crash at the end when --no-skips is passed.

• Print the exception, not just the traceback. That’s kind of important. :-)

• Don’t crash when a requested test doesn’t exist.

0.1.2

• More documentation tweaks. Package long_description now contains README.

0.1.1

• Add instructions for installing without git.

• Change package name in readme to the hypenated one. No behavior changes.

0.1

• Initial release
