unittest.TestCase
Integration¶
TestSlide’s DSL builtin integration with Python’s unittest.
Assertions¶
TestSlide (currently) has on assertion framework. It comes however, with all self.assert*
methods that you find at unittest.TestCase
(see the docs):
@context
def unittest_assert_methods(context):
@context.example
def has_assert_true(self):
self.assertTrue(True)
Reusing existing unittest.TestCase
setUp¶
You can leverage existing unittest.TestCase
classes, and use their setup logic to with TestSlide’s DSL:
@context
def merging_test_cases(context):
context.merge_test_case(SomePreExistingTestCase, 'legacy_test_case')
@context.example
def can_access_the_test_case(self):
self.legacy_test_case # => SomePreExistingTestCase instance
merge_test_case
will call all SomePreExistingTestCase
test hooks (setUp
, tearDown
etc) for each example.
From each example (or hooks), you will have access to the TestCase
instance, so you can access any of its methods or attributes.
Note
Only hooks are executed, no existing tests will be imported!
