Unit Test not running
PythonUnit TestingPython Problem Overview
I'm getting stuck with some unittests.
Here's the simplest example I could come up with:
#testito.py
import unittest
class Prueba(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
pass
def printsTrue(self):
self.assertTrue(True)
if __name__=="__main__":
unittest.main()
Problem is, running this has no effect:
$ python testito.py
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s
OK
I'm scratching my head as I don't see any problem with the code above. It happened with a couple of tests now and I don't really know what to do next. Any idea?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
By default, only functions whose name that start with test
are run:
class Prueba(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
pass
def testPrintsTrue(self):
self.assertTrue(True)
From the unittest basic example:
> A testcase is created by subclassing unittest.TestCase
. The three individual tests are defined with methods whose names start with the letters test
. This naming convention informs the test runner about which methods represent tests.
