nosetalisker

nosetalisker is a nose plugin that outputs one cProfile stat dump to a file, for each test.

Install

 pip install nose-talisker

Format of the file name is:

module-name.class-name.test-name.elapsed-milli-seconds.timestamp.prof

For example:

zamboni.apps.files.tests.test_views.TestFileViewer.test_view_access_reviewed.001448ms.2011-06-09T01:50:34.323206.prof
zamboni.apps.files.tests.test_views.TestFileViewer.test_view_access_reviewed.001577ms.2011-06-09T01:56:51.694283.prof

Options

- prof_path: the destination directory to write to. If not given a temporary one will be created for you. If you provide a directory, it must exist.

Usage

 nosetests --with-talisker --prof-path=/tmp/output

This module is designed to be used by talisker to consume and view the profile results. The format is deliberately based upon the runprofileserver from the command extensions module, with the same option naming.

Requirements:

• Python
• nose
