class TestCase(SynchronousTestCase): (source)

Implements interfaces: twisted.trial.itrial.ITestCase

View In Hierarchy

A unit test. The atom of the unit testing universe.

This class extends SynchronousTestCase which extends unittest.TestCase from the standard library. The main feature is the ability to return Deferreds from tests and fixture methods and to have the suite wait for those Deferreds to fire. Also provides new assertions such as assertFailure.

Method __call__ Run the test. Should always do exactly the same thing as run().
Method __init__ Construct an asynchronous test case for methodName.
Method add​Cleanup Extend the base cleanup feature with support for cleanup functions which return Deferreds.
Method assert​Failure Fail if deferred does not errback with one of expectedFailures. Returns the original Deferred with callbacks added. You will need to return this Deferred from your test case.
Method defer​Run​Cleanups Run any scheduled cleanups and report errors (if any) to the result. object.
Method defer​Set​Up Undocumented
Method defer​Tear​Down Undocumented
Method defer​Test​Method Undocumented
Method get​Suppress Undocumented
Method get​Timeout No summary
Instance Variable timeout A real number of seconds. If set, the test will raise an error if it takes longer than timeout seconds. If not set, util.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_DURATION is used.
Method _cb​Defer​Test​Method Undocumented
Method _class​Clean​Up Undocumented
Method _clean​Up Undocumented
Method _deprecate​Reactor Deprecate iterate, crash and stop on reactor. That is, each method is wrapped in a function that issues a deprecation warning, then calls the original.
Method _eb​Defer​Set​Up Undocumented
Method _eb​Defer​Tear​Down Undocumented
Method _eb​Defer​Test​Method Undocumented
Method _make​Reactor​Method Create a method which wraps the reactor method name. The new method issues a deprecation warning and calls the original.
Method _run Undocumented
Method _run​Fixtures​And​Test Really run setUp, the test method, and tearDown. Any of these may return defer.Deferreds. After they complete, do some reactor cleanup.
Method _undeprecate​Reactor Restore the deprecated reactor methods. Undoes what _deprecateReactor did.
Method _wait Take a Deferred that only ever callbacks. Block until it happens.
Instance Variable _passed Undocumented
Instance Variable _reactor​Methods Undocumented
Instance Variable _timed​Out Undocumented
def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs): (source)
Run the test. Should always do exactly the same thing as run().
def __init__(self, methodName='runTest'): (source)
Construct an asynchronous test case for methodName.
Parameters
method​NameThe name of a method on self. This method should be a unit test. That is, it should be a short method that calls some of the assert* methods. If methodName is unspecified, SynchronousTestCase.runTest will be used as the test method. This is mostly useful for testing Trial.
def addCleanup(self, f, *args, **kwargs): (source)

Extend the base cleanup feature with support for cleanup functions which return Deferreds.

If the function f returns a Deferred, TestCase will wait until the Deferred has fired before proceeding to the next function.

def assertFailure(self, deferred, *expectedFailures): (source)
Fail if deferred does not errback with one of expectedFailures. Returns the original Deferred with callbacks added. You will need to return this Deferred from your test case.
@defer.inlineCallbacks
def deferRunCleanups(self, ignored, result): (source)
Run any scheduled cleanups and report errors (if any) to the result. object.

Undocumented

def getSuppress(self): (source)

Undocumented

def getTimeout(self): (source)
Returns the timeout value set on this test. Checks on the instance first, then the class, then the module, then packages. As soon as it finds something with a timeout attribute, returns that. Returns util.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_DURATION if it cannot find anything. See TestCase docstring for more details.
timeout = (source)
A real number of seconds. If set, the test will raise an error if it takes longer than timeout seconds. If not set, util.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_DURATION is used.

Undocumented

def _deprecateReactor(self, reactor): (source)
Deprecate iterate, crash and stop on reactor. That is, each method is wrapped in a function that issues a deprecation warning, then calls the original.
Parameters
reactorThe Twisted reactor.
def _ebDeferSetUp(self, failure, result): (source)

Undocumented

Undocumented

def _ebDeferTestMethod(self, f, result): (source)

Undocumented

def _makeReactorMethod(self, name): (source)
Create a method which wraps the reactor method name. The new method issues a deprecation warning and calls the original.
def _run(self, methodName, result): (source)

Undocumented

def _runFixturesAndTest(self, result): (source)
Really run setUp, the test method, and tearDown. Any of these may return defer.Deferreds. After they complete, do some reactor cleanup.
Parameters
resultA TestResult object.
def _undeprecateReactor(self, reactor): (source)
Restore the deprecated reactor methods. Undoes what _deprecateReactor did.
Parameters
reactorThe Twisted reactor.
def _wait(self, d, running=_wait_is_running): (source)
Take a Deferred that only ever callbacks. Block until it happens.
