Run unittest in a Class
- by chrissygormley
Hello,
I have a test suite to perform smoke tests. I have all my script stored in various classes but when I try and run the test suite I can't seem to get it working if it is in a class. The code is below: (a class to call the tests)
from alltests import SmokeTests
class CallTests(SmokeTests):
def integration(self):
self.suite()
if __name__ == '__main__':
run = CallTests()
run.integration()
And the test suite:
class SmokeTests():
def suite(self): #Function stores all the modules to be tested
modules_to_test = ('external_sanity', 'internal_sanity')
alltests = unittest.TestSuite()
for module in map(__import__, modules_to_test):
alltests.addTest(unittest.findTestCases(module))
return alltests
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main(defaultTest='suite')
So I can see how to call a normal function defined but I'm finding it difficult calling in the suite. In one of the tests the suite is set up like so:
class InternalSanityTestSuite(unittest.TestSuite):
# Tests to be tested by test suite
def makeInternalSanityTestSuite():
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest(TestInternalSanity("BasicInternalSanity"))
suite.addTest(TestInternalSanity("VerifyInternalSanityTestFail"))
return suite
def suite():
return unittest.makeSuite(TestInternalSanity)
If I have def suite() inside the class SmokeTests the script executes but the tests don't run but if I remove the class the tests run. I run this as a script and call in variables into the tests. I do not want to have to run the tests by os.system('python tests.py'). I was hoping to call the tests through the class I have like any other function. This need's to be called from a class as the script that I'm calling it from is Object Oriented. If anyone can get the code to be run using Call Tests I would appreciate it alot.
Thanks for any help in advance.
