I've got a small project and running unit tests:
$ python tests/runner.py
......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 6 tests in 0.002s
OK
$ python -m tests.runner
......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 6 tests in 0.002s
OK
tests/runner.py:
import unittest
loader = unittest.TestLoader()
tests = loader.discover('.')
testRunner = unittest.runner.TextTestRunner()
testRunner.run(tests)
tests/test_common.py (a single test case, nothing else):
from procr.core.pcp import * # pcp - module under test.
class TestHelpers(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
pass
def tearDown(self):
pass
def test_something(self):
...
Directory structure:
project/
__init__.py
procr/
core/
__init__.py
pcp.py
__init__.py
tests/
__init__.py
test_common.py
runner.py
Eric IDE requires a test, or test suite file. Supplied with runner.py it reports Error: suite(unittest.loader._FailedTest). Project directory is set to project, full path.
What can be possibly wrong?
UPD:
The tests even actually run, as shown in the Eric console. The IDE probably expects something a bit different from the runner. I've no idea what.
This is no Eric Unittest Manual, not by any means. Yet it is better than nothing. At least a small step forward.
A soft link to tests/test_common.py (otherwise the working directory shifts from the project):
project/
__init__.py
procr/
core/
__init__.py
pcp.py
__init__.py
tests/
__init__.py
test_common.py
runner.py
eric_test_common.py -> tests/test_common.py
Eric Unittest Dialog:
Enter test filename: full path to eric_test_common.py
Enter test name: TestHelpers
Run local: check
Start: push
It's just the first working option I discovered; there must be much more. I hope to make this answer better in time.
