unittest.TestCase Integration

TestSlide’s DSL builtin integration with Python’s unittest.

Assertions

TestSlide (currently) has no 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!
