A plugin for nose2 implementing behavior-driven testing.

Project description

A plugin for running behavior-driven tests using gherkin inside nose2.

Usage

To enable planterbox for your project, you’ll want to add the following lines (or similar) to your unittest.cfg:

[unittest]
plugins = planterbox

[planterbox]
always-on = True

planterbox is compatible with nose2.plugins.mp.

Writing Tests

planterbox tests exist inside a python package which provides a context for their execution. You should write your tests in .feature files in the package directory. .feature files have access to all steps defined in or imported into their package’s __init__.py. For example, with the directory structure:

planterbox/
  tests/
    test_feature/
      __init__.py
      basic.feature

If __init__.py contains:

from planterbox import step


@step(r'I add (\d+) and (\d+)')
def add(test, a, b):
    a = int(a)
    b = int(b)
    test.result = a + b


@step(r'the result should be (\d+)')
def check_result(test, value):
    value = int(value)
    test.assertEqual(test.result, value)

basic.feature could contain:

Feature: Basic Tests
    I want to exercise generation of a simple test from a feature.

    Scenario: I need to verify basic arithmetic.
        Given I add 1 and 1
        Then the result should be 2

We could then run this test either by running all of the tests in the suite with nose2 or run it specifically with nose2 planterbox.tests.test_feature:basic.feature. We could even run the first scenario specifically with nose2 planterbox.tests.test_feature:basic.feature:0.
