我有一些测试数据,想为每个项目创建一个单元测试。我的第一个想法是这样做的:

import unittest

l = [["foo", "a", "a",], ["bar", "a", "b"], ["lee", "b", "b"]]

class TestSequence(unittest.TestCase):
    def testsample(self):
        for name, a,b in l:
            print "test", name
            self.assertEqual(a,b)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

这样做的缺点是它在一个测试中处理所有数据。我想在飞行中为每个项目生成一个测试。有什么建议吗?


当前回答

使用unittest(从3.4开始)

从Python 3.4开始,标准库unittest包具有subTest上下文管理器。

参见文档:

26.4.7. 使用子测试区分测试迭代 分测验

例子:

from unittest import TestCase

param_list = [('a', 'a'), ('a', 'b'), ('b', 'b')]

class TestDemonstrateSubtest(TestCase):
    def test_works_as_expected(self):
        for p1, p2 in param_list:
            with self.subTest():
                self.assertEqual(p1, p2)

你也可以给subTest()指定一个自定义消息和参数值:

with self.subTest(msg="Checking if p1 equals p2", p1=p1, p2=p2):

用鼻子

鼻测试框架支持这一点。

示例(下面的代码是包含测试的文件的全部内容):

param_list = [('a', 'a'), ('a', 'b'), ('b', 'b')]

def test_generator():
    for params in param_list:
        yield check_em, params[0], params[1]

def check_em(a, b):
    assert a == b

nosetests命令输出信息如下:

> nosetests -v
testgen.test_generator('a', 'a') ... ok
testgen.test_generator('a', 'b') ... FAIL
testgen.test_generator('b', 'b') ... ok

其他回答

前几天我在查看radon的源代码时遇到了ParamUnittest (GitHub存储库中的使用示例)。它应该与扩展TestCase的其他框架一起工作(比如Nose)。

这里有一个例子:

import unittest
import paramunittest


@paramunittest.parametrized(
    ('1', '2'),
    #(4, 3),    <---- Uncomment to have a failing test
    ('2', '3'),
    (('4', ), {'b': '5'}),
    ((), {'a': 5, 'b': 6}),
    {'a': 5, 'b': 6},
)
class TestBar(TestCase):
    def setParameters(self, a, b):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b

    def testLess(self):
        self.assertLess(self.a, self.b)

这可以使用元类优雅地解决:

import unittest

l = [["foo", "a", "a",], ["bar", "a", "b"], ["lee", "b", "b"]]

class TestSequenceMeta(type):
    def __new__(mcs, name, bases, dict):

        def gen_test(a, b):
            def test(self):
                self.assertEqual(a, b)
            return test

        for tname, a, b in l:
            test_name = "test_%s" % tname
            dict[test_name] = gen_test(a,b)
        return type.__new__(mcs, name, bases, dict)

class TestSequence(unittest.TestCase):
    __metaclass__ = TestSequenceMeta

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

这实际上与之前的回答中提到的parameterized相同,但具体到unittest:

def sub_test(param_list):
    """Decorates a test case to run it as a set of subtests."""

    def decorator(f):

        @functools.wraps(f)
        def wrapped(self):
            for param in param_list:
                with self.subTest(**param):
                    f(self, **param)

        return wrapped

    return decorator

使用示例:

class TestStuff(unittest.TestCase):
    @sub_test([
        dict(arg1='a', arg2='b'),
        dict(arg1='x', arg2='y'),
    ])
    def test_stuff(self, arg1, arg2):
        ...

基于元类的答案在Python 3中仍然有效,但必须使用元类参数,而不是__metaclass__属性,例如:

class ExampleTestCase(TestCase,metaclass=DocTestMeta):
    pass

只使用元类,如这里所示;

class DocTestMeta(type):
    """
    Test functions are generated in metaclass due to the way some
    test loaders work. For example, setupClass() won't get called
    unless there are other existing test methods, and will also
    prevent unit test loader logic being called before the test
    methods have been defined.
    """
    def __init__(self, name, bases, attrs):
        super(DocTestMeta, self).__init__(name, bases, attrs)

    def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
        def func(self):
            """Inner test method goes here"""
            self.assertTrue(1)

        func.__name__ = 'test_sample'
        attrs[func.__name__] = func
        return super(DocTestMeta, cls).__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)

class ExampleTestCase(TestCase):
    """Our example test case, with no methods defined"""
    __metaclass__ = DocTestMeta

输出:

test_sample (ExampleTestCase) ... OK
