Hello,<br>
<br>
After using unittest for several years I've started to get slightly<br>
bored with it. There are several annoyances, but my pet peeves are the<br>
need to write boring boilerplate, the lack of test discovery, and the<br>
PEP-8 incompatible. Because it seems unittest2 isn't going to fix too<br>
many of these problems, and my actual needs for a unit testing tool<br>
are fairly simple, I decided to see could I write a tool that actually<br>
works the way I want.<br>
<br>
After few hours hacking, and 132 lines of Python, I have a pretty<br>
promising prototype that:<br>
- requires zero boilerplate (any function or method starting with<br>
'test_' in a file starting with 'test_' is a test),<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This will effectively break (or will not work) with (after browsing your source code):</div><div><br></div><div>Test_</div>
<div>TEST_</div><div><br></div><div>Or any other combination of upper + lower case in test.</div><div><br></div><div>Your test discovery should be able to resolve case insensitive naming... I think.</div><div><br></div><div>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
- can find tests recursively from a directory,<br>
- is naturally PEP-8 compatible, and<br>
- can execute also old unittest based tests.<br>
<br>
The code and some example tests are available at<br>
