Pikzie

Pikzie is an easy to write and debug unit testing framework for Python.

Pikzie provides the following features that are lacked in unittest.py included in the standard Python distribution:

* Pythonic API
* a lot of assertions
* outputs result with useful format for debugging.

Install:

% sudo python setup.py install

Usage:

We assume that you have the following directory structure:

. -+- lib --- your_module --- ...
 |
 +- test -+- run-test.py
 |
 +- __init__.py
 |
 +- test_module1.py
 |
 +- ...

test/run-test.py is the following:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import os

base_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(base_dir, "lib"))
sys.path.insert(0, base_dir)

import pikzie

sys.exit(pikzie.Tester().run())

test/test_*.py are automatically loaded and defined tests are ran by invoking run-test.py like the following:

% test/run-test.py

What is new in this release:

• fix wrong 'sorted' detection
• improve message detection in assert_search_syslog_call

Requirements:

• Python
