python 单元测试 自动生成用例_Python的单元测试和动态创建测试用例

Is there a way to dynamically create unittest test cases? I have tried the following..

class test_filenames(unittest.TestCase):

def setUp(self):

for category, testcases in files.items():

for testindex, curtest in enumerate(testcases):

def thetest():

parser = FileParser(curtest['input'])

theep = parser.parse()

self.assertEquals(theep.episodenumber, curtest['episodenumber'])

setattr(self, 'test_%s_%02d' % (category, testindex), thetest)

..which creates all the methods correctly (they show up in dir() and are callable), but unittest's test detector, nor nosetest executes them ("Ran 0 tests in ...")

Since I may be asking the wrong question - what I am trying to achieve:

I have a file containing test data, a list of input filenames, and expected data (simplified to episodenumber in the above code), stored in a Python dictionary. The key is the category, the value is a list of test cases, for example..

test_cases = {}

test_cases['example_1'] = [

{'input': 'test.01',

'episodenumber': 1},

{'input': 'test.02',

'episodenumber': 2}

]

test_cases['example_2'] = [

{'input': 'another.123',

'episodenumber': 123},

{'input': 'test.e42',

'episodenumber': 32}

]

Currently I just loop over all the data, call self.assertEquals on each test. The problem is, if one fails, I don't see the rest of the failures as they are also grouped into one test, which aborts when an assertion fails.

The way around this, I thought, would be to (dynamically) create a function for each test case, perhaps there is a better way?

For this you should use test generators in nose. All you need to do is yield a tuple, with the first being a function and the rest being the args. From the docs here is the example.

def test_evens():

for i in range(0, 5):

yield check_even, i, i*3

def check_even(n, nn):

assert n % 2 == 0 or nn % 2 == 0
