`test` — Pacote de Testes de Regressão do Python¶

Nota

O pacote test é apenas para uso interno do Python. O mesmo está sendo documentado para o benefício dos principais desenvolvedores do Python. Qualquer uso deste pacote fora da biblioteca padrão do Python é desencorajado, pois, o código mencionado aqui pode ser alterado ou removido sem aviso prévio entre as versões do Python.

O pacote test contém todos os testes de regressão do Python, bem como os módulos test.support e test.regrtest. test.support é utilizado para aprimorar seus testes enquanto o test.regrtest direciona a suite de testes.

Cada módulo no pacote test cujo nome começa com test_ é um conjunto de testes para um módulo ou recurso específico. Todos os novos testes devem ser escritos usando o módulo unittest ou doctest. Alguns testes mais antigos são escritos usando um estilo de teste “tradicional” que compara a saída impressa a sys.stdout. Este estilo de teste foi considerado descontinuado.

Escrever testes unitários para o pacote `test`¶

É preferível que os testes que usam o módulo unittest sigam algumas diretrizes. Uma é nomear o módulo de teste iniciando-o com test_ e termine com o nome do módulo que está sendo testado. Os métodos de teste no módulo de teste deve começar com test_ e terminar com uma descrição do que o método está testando. Isso é necessário para que os métodos sejam reconhecidos pelo driver de teste como métodos de teste. Além disso, na string de documentação para o método deve ser incluído. Um comentário (como os # Tests function returns only True or False) deve ser usado para fornecer documentação para testar métodos. Isso é feito porque as strings de documentação são impressas se existem e, portanto, qual teste está sendo executado não é indicado.

Um boilerplate básico é muitas vezes usado:

import unittest
from test import support

class MyTestCase1(unittest.TestCase):

    # Only use setUp() and tearDown() if necessary

    def setUp(self):
        ... code to execute in preparation for tests ...

    def tearDown(self):
        ... code to execute to clean up after tests ...

    def test_feature_one(self):
        # Test feature one.
        ... testing code ...

    def test_feature_two(self):
        # Test feature two.
        ... testing code ...

    ... more test methods ...

class MyTestCase2(unittest.TestCase):
    ... same structure as MyTestCase1 ...

... more test classes ...

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

Este padrão de código permite que o conjunto de testes seja executado pelo test.regrtest, por conta própria, como um script que suporte o unittest CLI, ou através do python -m unittest CLI.

O objetivo do teste de regressão é tentar quebrar o código. Isso leva a algumas diretrizes que devemos seguir:

O conjunto de testes deve exercitar todas as classes, funções e constantes. Isso inclui não apenas a API externa que deve ser apresentada ao mundo exterior, mas também o código “privado”.
Os testes de Whitebox (que examinam o código que está sendo testado quando os testes estão sendo gravados) são preferidos. O teste Blackbox (que testa apenas a interface do público de usuário) não é completo o suficiente para garantir que todos os casos de limite e extremos sejam testados.
Certifique-se de que todos os valores possíveis sejam testados, incluindo os inválidos. Isso garante que não apenas todos os valores válidos são aceitos, mas também, que os valores impróprios são tratados corretamente.
Esgote o maior número possível de caminhos de código. Teste onde ocorre a ramificação e, assim, personalize a entrada para garantir que tantos caminhos diferentes pelo código sejam tomados.
Adicione um teste explícito para quaisquer bugs descobertos ao código testado. Isso garantirá que o erro não apareça novamente se o código for alterado no futuro.
Certifique-se de limpar após seus testes (como fechar e remover todos os arquivos temporários).
Se um teste depende de uma condição específica do sistema operacional, então verifica se a condição já existe antes de tentar o teste.
Importa o menor número de módulos possível e faça isso o mais rápido possível. Isso minimiza dependências externas de testes, e também minimiza possíveis comportamento anômalo dos efeitos colaterais da importação de um módulo.
Tente maximizar a reutilização de código. Ocasionalmente, os testes variam em algo tão pequeno quanto o tipo de entrada é usado. Minimize a duplicação de código criando uma subclasse básica de testes com uma classe que especifica o input:
```
class TestFuncAcceptsSequencesMixin:

    func = mySuperWhammyFunction

    def test_func(self):
        self.func(self.arg)

class AcceptLists(TestFuncAcceptsSequencesMixin, unittest.TestCase):
    arg = [1, 2, 3]

class AcceptStrings(TestFuncAcceptsSequencesMixin, unittest.TestCase):
    arg = 'abc'

class AcceptTuples(TestFuncAcceptsSequencesMixin, unittest.TestCase):
    arg = (1, 2, 3)
```
Ao usar este padrão, lembre-se que todas as classes que herdam de unittest.TestCase são executadas como testes. A classe Mixin no exemplo acima não tem nenhum dado e, portanto, não pode ser executada sozinha, portanto, ela não herda de unittest.TestCase.

Executando testes usando a interface de linha de comando¶

O pacote test pode ser executado como um script para conduzir o conjunto de testes de regressão do Python, graças à opção -m: python -m test. Nos bastidores, ele usa test.regrtest; a chamada python -m test.regrtest usado nas versões anteriores do Python ainda funciona. Executar o script por si só começa a executar todos os testes de regressão no pacote test. Ele faz isso encontrando todos os módulos no pacote cujo nome começa com test_, importando-os e executando a função test_main() se presente ou carregando os testes via unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule se test_main não existir. Os nomes dos testes a serem executados também podem ser passados para o script. Especificando um teste de regressão simples (python -m test test_spam) minimizará saiba e imprima apenas se o teste passou ou falhou.

A execução de test permite definir diretamente quais recursos estão disponíveis para os testes usarem. Você faz isso usando a opção de linha de comando -u. Especificar all como o valor para a opção -u ativa todos os recursos possíveis: python -m test -uall. Se todos menos um recurso for desejado (um caso mais comum), uma lista separada por vírgulas de recursos que não são desejados pode ser listada após all. O comando python -m test -uall,-audio,-largefile executará test com todos os recursos, exceto os recursos audio e largefile. Para obter uma lista de todos os recursos e mais opções de linha de comando, execute python -m test -h.

Alguns outros meios para executar os testes de regressão dependem em qual plataforma os testes estão sendo executados. No Unix, você pode executar: programa: ‘ make test’ no diretório de mais alto nível onde o Python foi construído. No Windows, executar: programa ‘rt.bat’ do seu diretório: file: ‘PCbuild’ executará todos os testes de regressão.

`test.support` — Utilitários para o conjunto de teste do Python¶

O módulo test.support fornece suporte para a suíte de testes de regressão do Python.

Nota

test.support is not a public module. It is documented here to help Python developers write tests. The API of this module is subject to change without backwards compatibility concerns between releases.

Esse módulo define as seguintes exceções:

exception test.support.TestFailed¶: Exceção a ser levantada quando um teste falha. Isto foi descontinuado em favor dos testes baseados em unittest e métodos de asserção de unittest.TestCase.

exception test.support.ResourceDenied¶: Subclasse de unittest.SkipTest. Levantada quando um recurso (como uma conexão de rede) não está disponível. Levantada pela função requires().

O módulo test.support define as seguintes constantes:

test.support.SOCK_MAX_SIZE¶: Uma constante que provavelmente é maior que o tamanho do buffer de soquete do sistema operacional subjacente, para fazer o bloqueio de escritas.

test.support.TEST_SUPPORT_DIR¶: Define o diretório de mais alto nível que contém test.support.

test.support.TEST_HOME_DIR¶: Define o diretório de mais alto nível para o pacote de teste.

test.support.TEST_DATA_DIR¶: Set to the data directory within the test package.

test.support.MAX_Py_ssize_t¶: Define sys.maxsize para grandes testes de memória.

test.support.max_memuse¶: Set by set_memlimit() as the memory limit for big memory tests. Limited by MAX_Py_ssize_t.

test.support.real_max_memuse¶: Set by set_memlimit() as the memory limit for big memory tests. Not limited by MAX_Py_ssize_t.

test.support.MISSING_C_DOCSTRINGS¶: Return True if running on CPython, not on Windows, and configuration not set with WITH_DOC_STRINGS.

test.support.HAVE_DOCSTRINGS¶: Check for presence of docstrings.

test.support.TEST_HTTP_URL¶: Define the URL of a dedicated HTTP server for the network tests.

test.support.ALWAYS_EQ¶: Object that is equal to anything. Used to test mixed type comparison.

test.support.LARGEST¶: Object that is greater than anything (except itself). Used to test mixed type comparison.

test.support.SMALLEST¶: Object that is less than anything (except itself). Used to test mixed type comparison.

O módulo test.support define as seguintes funções:

test.support.forget(module_name)¶: Remove the module named module_name from sys.modules and delete any byte-compiled files of the module.

test.support.unload(name)¶: Exclui o name de sys.modules.

test.support.unlink(filename)¶: Call os.unlink() on filename. On Windows platforms, this is wrapped with a wait loop that checks for the existence fo the file.

test.support.rmdir(filename)¶: Call os.rmdir() on filename. On Windows platforms, this is wrapped with a wait loop that checks for the existence of the file.

test.support.rmtree(path)¶: Call shutil.rmtree() on path or call os.lstat() and os.rmdir() to remove a path and its contents. On Windows platforms, this is wrapped with a wait loop that checks for the existence of the files.

test.support.make_legacy_pyc(source)¶: Move a PEP 3147/PEP 488 pyc file to its legacy pyc location and return the file system path to the legacy pyc file. The source value is the file system path to the source file. It does not need to exist, however the PEP 3147/488 pyc file must exist.

test.support.is_resource_enabled(resource)¶: Return True if resource is enabled and available. The list of available resources is only set when test.regrtest is executing the tests.

test.support.python_is_optimized()¶: Return True if Python was not built with -O0 or -Og.

test.support.with_pymalloc()¶: Retorna _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC.

test.support.requires(resource, msg=None)¶: Raise ResourceDenied if resource is not available. msg is the argument to ResourceDenied if it is raised. Always returns True if called by a function whose __name__ is '__main__'. Used when tests are executed by test.regrtest.

test.support.system_must_validate_cert(f)¶: Raise unittest.SkipTest on TLS certification validation failures.

test.support.sortdict(dict)¶: Return a repr of dict with keys sorted.

test.support.findfile(filename, subdir=None)¶

Return the path to the file named filename. If no match is found filename is returned. This does not equal a failure since it could be the path to the file.

Setting subdir indicates a relative path to use to find the file rather than looking directly in the path directories.

test.support.create_empty_file(filename)¶: Create an empty file with filename. If it already exists, truncate it.

test.support.fd_count()¶: Conta o número de descritores de arquivos abertos.

test.support.match_test(test)¶: Match test to patterns set in set_match_tests().

test.support.set_match_tests(patterns)¶: Define match test with regular expression patterns.

test.support.run_unittest(*classes)¶

Execute unittest.TestCase subclasses passed to the function. The function scans the classes for methods starting with the prefix test_ and executes the tests individually.

It is also legal to pass strings as parameters; these should be keys in sys.modules. Each associated module will be scanned by unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule(). This is usually seen in the following test_main() function:

def test_main():
    support.run_unittest(__name__)

Isso executará todos os testes definidos no módulo nomeado.

test.support.run_doctest(module, verbosity=None, optionflags=0)¶

Run doctest.testmod() on the given module. Return (failure_count, test_count).

If verbosity is None, doctest.testmod() is run with verbosity set to verbose. Otherwise, it is run with verbosity set to None. optionflags is passed as optionflags to doctest.testmod().

test.support.setswitchinterval(interval)¶: Set the sys.setswitchinterval() to the given interval. Defines a minimum interval for Android systems to prevent the system from hanging.

test.support.check_impl_detail(**guards)¶

Use this check to guard CPython’s implementation-specific tests or to run them only on the implementations guarded by the arguments:

check_impl_detail()               # Only on CPython (default).
check_impl_detail(jython=True)    # Only on Jython.
check_impl_detail(cpython=False)  # Everywhere except CPython.

test.support.check_warnings(*filters, quiet=True)¶

A convenience wrapper for warnings.catch_warnings() that makes it easier to test that a warning was correctly raised. It is approximately equivalent to calling warnings.catch_warnings(record=True) with warnings.simplefilter() set to always and with the option to automatically validate the results that are recorded.

check_warnings accepts 2-tuples of the form ("message regexp", WarningCategory) as positional arguments. If one or more filters are provided, or if the optional keyword argument quiet is False, it checks to make sure the warnings are as expected: each specified filter must match at least one of the warnings raised by the enclosed code or the test fails, and if any warnings are raised that do not match any of the specified filters the test fails. To disable the first of these checks, set quiet to True.

Se nenhum argumento é especificado, o padrão é:

check_warnings(("", Warning), quiet=True)

Nesse caso, todos os avisos são capturados e nenhum erro é gerado.

On entry to the context manager, a WarningRecorder instance is returned. The underlying warnings list from catch_warnings() is available via the recorder object’s warnings attribute. As a convenience, the attributes of the object representing the most recent warning can also be accessed directly through the recorder object (see example below). If no warning has been raised, then any of the attributes that would otherwise be expected on an object representing a warning will return None.

The recorder object also has a reset() method, which clears the warnings list.

O gerenciador de contexto é desenhado para ser utilizado dessa forma:

with check_warnings(("assertion is always true", SyntaxWarning),
                    ("", UserWarning)):
    exec('assert(False, "Hey!")')
    warnings.warn(UserWarning("Hide me!"))

No caso, se um aviso não foi levantado, ou algum outro aviso não foi levantado, check_warnings() deveria aparecer como um erro.

When a test needs to look more deeply into the warnings, rather than just checking whether or not they occurred, code like this can be used:

with check_warnings(quiet=True) as w:
    warnings.warn("foo")
    assert str(w.args[0]) == "foo"
    warnings.warn("bar")
    assert str(w.args[0]) == "bar"
    assert str(w.warnings[0].args[0]) == "foo"
    assert str(w.warnings[1].args[0]) == "bar"
    w.reset()
    assert len(w.warnings) == 0

Aqui todos os avisos serão capturados e o código de teste testa os avisos diretamente capturados.

Alterado na versão 3.2: Novos argumentos opcionais filters e quiet.

test.support.check_no_resource_warning(testcase)¶: Context manager to check that no ResourceWarning was raised. You must remove the object which may emit ResourceWarning before the end of the context manager.

test.support.set_memlimit(limit)¶: Define os valores para max_memuse e real_max_memuse para grandes testes de memória.

test.support.record_original_stdout(stdout)¶: Armazena o valor de stdout. Destina-se a manter o stdout no momento em que o registro começou.

test.support.get_original_stdout()¶: Retorna o stdout original definido por record_original_stdout() ou sys.stdout se não estiver definido.

test.support.strip_python_strerr(stderr)¶: Strip the stderr of a Python process from potential debug output emitted by the interpreter. This will typically be run on the result of subprocess.Popen.communicate().

test.support.args_from_interpreter_flags()¶: Retorna uma lista de argumentos de linha de comando reproduzindo as configurações em sys.flags e sys.warnoptions.

test.support.optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()¶: Retorna a lista de argumentos da linha de comando reproduzindo as configurações de otimização atuais em sys.flags.

test.support.captured_stdin()¶

test.support.captured_stdout()¶

test.support.captured_stderr()¶

Um gerenciador de contexto que substitui temporariamente o fluxo nomeado pelo objeto io.StringIO.

Exemplo do uso com fluxos de saída:

with captured_stdout() as stdout, captured_stderr() as stderr:
    print("hello")
    print("error", file=sys.stderr)
assert stdout.getvalue() == "hello\n"
assert stderr.getvalue() == "error\n"

Exemplo de uso com fluxo de entrada:

with captured_stdin() as stdin:
    stdin.write('hello\n')
    stdin.seek(0)
    # call test code that consumes from sys.stdin
    captured = input()
self.assertEqual(captured, "hello")

test.support.temp_dir(path=None, quiet=False)¶

Um gerenciador de contexto que cria um diretório temporário no path e produz o diretório.

If path is None, the temporary directory is created using tempfile.mkdtemp(). If quiet is False, the context manager raises an exception on error. Otherwise, if path is specified and cannot be created, only a warning is issued.

test.support.change_cwd(path, quiet=False)¶

A context manager that temporarily changes the current working directory to path and yields the directory.

If quiet is False, the context manager raises an exception on error. Otherwise, it issues only a warning and keeps the current working directory the same.

test.support.temp_cwd(name='tempcwd', quiet=False)¶

Um gerenciador de contexto que cria temporariamente um novo diretório e altera o diretório de trabalho atual (CWD).

The context manager creates a temporary directory in the current directory with name name before temporarily changing the current working directory. If name is None, the temporary directory is created using tempfile.mkdtemp().

Se quiet é False e ele não possibilita criar ou alterar o CWD, um erro é levantado. Por outro lado, somente um aviso surge e o CWD original é utilizado.

test.support.temp_umask(umask)¶: Um gerenciador de contexto que temporariamente define o umask do processo.

test.support.transient_internet(resource_name, *, timeout=30.0, errnos=())¶: A context manager that raises ResourceDenied when various issues with the internet connection manifest themselves as exceptions.

test.support.disable_faulthandler()¶: A context manager that replaces sys.stderr with sys.__stderr__.

test.support.gc_collect()¶: Força a coleta de tantos objetos quanto possível. Isso é necessário porque a desalocação oportuna não é garantida pelo coletor de lixo. Isso significa que os métodos __del__ podem ser chamados mais tarde do que o esperado e as referência fraca podem permanecer ativas por mais tempo do que o esperado.

test.support.disable_gc()¶: A context manager that disables the garbage collector upon entry and reenables it upon exit.

test.support.swap_attr(obj, attr, new_val)¶

Context manager to swap out an attribute with a new object.

Uso:

with swap_attr(obj, "attr", 5):
    ...

This will set obj.attr to 5 for the duration of the with block, restoring the old value at the end of the block. If attr doesn’t exist on obj, it will be created and then deleted at the end of the block.

The old value (or None if it doesn’t exist) will be assigned to the target of the “as” clause, if there is one.

test.support.swap_item(obj, attr, new_val)¶

Context manager to swap out an item with a new object.

Uso:

with swap_item(obj, "item", 5):
    ...

This will set obj["item"] to 5 for the duration of the with block, restoring the old value at the end of the block. If item doesn’t exist on obj, it will be created and then deleted at the end of the block.

The old value (or None if it doesn’t exist) will be assigned to the target of the “as” clause, if there is one.

test.support.wait_threads_exit(timeout=60.0)¶: Context manager to wait until all threads created in the with statement exit.

test.support.start_threads(threads, unlock=None)¶: Context manager to start threads. It attempts to join the threads upon exit.

test.support.calcobjsize(fmt)¶: Return struct.calcsize() for nP{fmt}0n or, if gettotalrefcount exists, 2PnP{fmt}0P.

test.support.calcvobjsize(fmt)¶: Return struct.calcsize() for nPn{fmt}0n or, if gettotalrefcount exists, 2PnPn{fmt}0P.

test.support.checksizeof(test, o, size)¶: For testcase test, assert that the sys.getsizeof for o plus the GC header size equals size.

test.support.can_symlink()¶: Return True if the OS supports symbolic links, False otherwise.

test.support.can_xattr()¶: Return True if the OS supports xattr, False otherwise.

@test.support.skip_unless_symlink¶: Um decorador para executar testes que requerem suporte para links simbólicos.

@test.support.skip_unless_xattr¶: Um decorador para execução de testes que requerem suporte para xattr.

@test.support.skip_unless_bind_unix_socket¶: A decorator for running tests that require a functional bind() for Unix sockets.

@test.support.anticipate_failure(condition)¶: A decorator to conditionally mark tests with unittest.expectedFailure(). Any use of this decorator should have an associated comment identifying the relevant tracker issue.

@test.support.run_with_locale(catstr, *locales)¶: A decorator for running a function in a different locale, correctly resetting it after it has finished. catstr is the locale category as a string (for example "LC_ALL"). The locales passed will be tried sequentially, and the first valid locale will be used.

@test.support.run_with_tz(tz)¶: A decorator for running a function in a specific timezone, correctly resetting it after it has finished.

@test.support.requires_freebsd_version(*min_version)¶: Decorator for the minimum version when running test on FreeBSD. If the FreeBSD version is less than the minimum, raise unittest.SkipTest.

@test.support.requires_linux_version(*min_version)¶: Decorator for the minimum version when running test on Linux. If the Linux version is less than the minimum, raise unittest.SkipTest.

@test.support.requires_mac_version(*min_version)¶: Decorator for the minimum version when running test on Mac OS X. If the MAC OS X version is less than the minimum, raise unittest.SkipTest.

@test.support.requires_IEEE_754¶: Decorator for skipping tests on non-IEEE 754 platforms.

@test.support.requires_zlib¶: Decorator for skipping tests if zlib doesn’t exist.

@test.support.requires_gzip¶: Decorator for skipping tests if gzip doesn’t exist.

@test.support.requires_bz2¶: Decorator for skipping tests if bz2 doesn’t exist.

@test.support.requires_lzma¶: Decorator for skipping tests if lzma doesn’t exist.

@test.support.requires_resource(resource)¶: Decorator for skipping tests if resource is not available.

@test.support.requires_docstrings¶: Decorator for only running the test if HAVE_DOCSTRINGS.

@test.support.cpython_only(test)¶: Decorator for tests only applicable to CPython.

@test.support.impl_detail(msg=None, **guards)¶: Decorator for invoking check_impl_detail() on guards. If that returns False, then uses msg as the reason for skipping the test.

@test.support.no_tracing(func)¶: Decorator to temporarily turn off tracing for the duration of the test.

@test.support.refcount_test(test)¶: Decorator for tests which involve reference counting. The decorator does not run the test if it is not run by CPython. Any trace function is unset for the duration of the test to prevent unexpected refcounts caused by the trace function.

@test.support.reap_threads(func)¶: Decorator to ensure the threads are cleaned up even if the test fails.

@test.support.bigmemtest(size, memuse, dry_run=True)¶

Decorator for bigmem tests.

size is a requested size for the test (in arbitrary, test-interpreted units.) memuse is the number of bytes per unit for the test, or a good estimate of it. For example, a test that needs two byte buffers, of 4 GiB each, could be decorated with @bigmemtest(size=_4G, memuse=2).

The size argument is normally passed to the decorated test method as an extra argument. If dry_run is True, the value passed to the test method may be less than the requested value. If dry_run is False, it means the test doesn’t support dummy runs when -M is not specified.

@test.support.bigaddrspacetest(f)¶: Decorator for tests that fill the address space. f is the function to wrap.

test.support.make_bad_fd()¶: Cria um descritor de arquivo inválido abrindo e fechando um arquivo temporário e retornando seu descritor.

test.support.check_syntax_error(testcase, statement, errtext='', *, lineno=None, offset=None)¶: Test for syntax errors in statement by attempting to compile statement. testcase is the unittest instance for the test. errtext is the regular expression which should match the string representation of the raised SyntaxError. If lineno is not None, compares to the line of the exception. If offset is not None, compares to the offset of the exception.

test.support.check_syntax_warning(testcase, statement, errtext='', *, lineno=1, offset=None)¶: Test for syntax warning in statement by attempting to compile statement. Test also that the SyntaxWarning is emitted only once, and that it will be converted to a SyntaxError when turned into error. testcase is the unittest instance for the test. errtext is the regular expression which should match the string representation of the emitted SyntaxWarning and raised SyntaxError. If lineno is not None, compares to the line of the warning and exception. If offset is not None, compares to the offset of the exception.

Novo na versão 3.8.

test.support.open_urlresource(url, *args, **kw)¶: Abre url. Se falhar em abrir, levanta TestFailed.

test.support.import_module(name, deprecated=False, *, required_on())¶

This function imports and returns the named module. Unlike a normal import, this function raises unittest.SkipTest if the module cannot be imported.

Module and package deprecation messages are suppressed during this import if deprecated is True. If a module is required on a platform but optional for others, set required_on to an iterable of platform prefixes which will be compared against sys.platform.

Novo na versão 3.1.

test.support.import_fresh_module(name, fresh=(), blocked=(), deprecated=False)¶

This function imports and returns a fresh copy of the named Python module by removing the named module from sys.modules before doing the import. Note that unlike reload(), the original module is not affected by this operation.

fresh is an iterable of additional module names that are also removed from the sys.modules cache before doing the import.

blocked is an iterable of module names that are replaced with None in the module cache during the import to ensure that attempts to import them raise ImportError.

The named module and any modules named in the fresh and blocked parameters are saved before starting the import and then reinserted into sys.modules when the fresh import is complete.

Module and package deprecation messages are suppressed during this import if deprecated is True.

This function will raise ImportError if the named module cannot be imported.

Exemplo de uso:

# Get copies of the warnings module for testing without affecting the
# version being used by the rest of the test suite. One copy uses the
# C implementation, the other is forced to use the pure Python fallback
# implementation
py_warnings = import_fresh_module('warnings', blocked=['_warnings'])
c_warnings = import_fresh_module('warnings', fresh=['_warnings'])

Novo na versão 3.1.

test.support.modules_setup()¶: Retorna a cópia de sys.modules.

test.support.modules_cleanup(oldmodules)¶: Remove modules except for oldmodules and encodings in order to preserve internal cache.

test.support.threading_setup()¶: Return current thread count and copy of dangling threads.

test.support.threading_cleanup(*original_values)¶: Cleanup up threads not specified in original_values. Designed to emit a warning if a test leaves running threads in the background.

test.support.join_thread(thread, timeout=30.0)¶: Join a thread within timeout. Raise an AssertionError if thread is still alive after timeout seconds.

test.support.reap_children()¶: Use this at the end of test_main whenever sub-processes are started. This will help ensure that no extra children (zombies) stick around to hog resources and create problems when looking for refleaks.

test.support.get_attribute(obj, name)¶: Get an attribute, raising unittest.SkipTest if AttributeError is raised.

test.support.bind_port(sock, host=HOST)¶

Bind the socket to a free port and return the port number. Relies on ephemeral ports in order to ensure we are using an unbound port. This is important as many tests may be running simultaneously, especially in a buildbot environment. This method raises an exception if the sock.family is AF_INET and sock.type is SOCK_STREAM, and the socket has SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT set on it. Tests should never set these socket options for TCP/IP sockets. The only case for setting these options is testing multicasting via multiple UDP sockets.

Additionally, if the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE socket option is available (i.e. on Windows), it will be set on the socket. This will prevent anyone else from binding to our host/port for the duration of the test.

test.support.bind_unix_socket(sock, addr)¶: Bind a unix socket, raising unittest.SkipTest if PermissionError is raised.

test.support.catch_threading_exception()¶

Context manager catching threading.Thread exception using threading.excepthook().

Attributes set when an exception is catched:

exc_type
exc_value
exc_traceback
thread

See threading.excepthook() documentation.

These attributes are deleted at the context manager exit.

Uso:

with support.catch_threading_exception() as cm:
    # code spawning a thread which raises an exception
    ...

    # check the thread exception, use cm attributes:
    # exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback, thread
    ...

# exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback, thread attributes of cm no longer
# exists at this point
# (to avoid reference cycles)

Novo na versão 3.8.

test.support.catch_unraisable_exception()¶

Context manager catching unraisable exception using sys.unraisablehook().

Storing the exception value (cm.unraisable.exc_value) creates a reference cycle. The reference cycle is broken explicitly when the context manager exits.

Storing the object (cm.unraisable.object) can resurrect it if it is set to an object which is being finalized. Exiting the context manager clears the stored object.

Uso:

with support.catch_unraisable_exception() as cm:
    # code creating an "unraisable exception"
    ...

    # check the unraisable exception: use cm.unraisable
    ...

# cm.unraisable attribute no longer exists at this point
# (to break a reference cycle)

Novo na versão 3.8.

test.support.find_unused_port(family=socket.AF_INET, socktype=socket.SOCK_STREAM)¶

Returns an unused port that should be suitable for binding. This is achieved by creating a temporary socket with the same family and type as the sock parameter (default is AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM), and binding it to the specified host address (defaults to 0.0.0.0) with the port set to 0, eliciting an unused ephemeral port from the OS. The temporary socket is then closed and deleted, and the ephemeral port is returned.

Either this method or bind_port() should be used for any tests where a server socket needs to be bound to a particular port for the duration of the test. Which one to use depends on whether the calling code is creating a Python socket, or if an unused port needs to be provided in a constructor or passed to an external program (i.e. the -accept argument to openssl’s s_server mode). Always prefer bind_port() over find_unused_port() where possible. Using a hard coded port is discouraged since it can make multiple instances of the test impossible to run simultaneously, which is a problem for buildbots.

test.support.load_package_tests(pkg_dir, loader, standard_tests, pattern)¶

Generic implementation of the unittest load_tests protocol for use in test packages. pkg_dir is the root directory of the package; loader, standard_tests, and pattern are the arguments expected by load_tests. In simple cases, the test package’s __init__.py can be the following:

import os
from test.support import load_package_tests

def load_tests(*args):
    return load_package_tests(os.path.dirname(__file__), *args)

test.support.fs_is_case_insensitive(directory)¶: Return True if the file system for directory is case-insensitive.

test.support.detect_api_mismatch(ref_api, other_api, *, ignore=())¶

Returns the set of attributes, functions or methods of ref_api not found on other_api, except for a defined list of items to be ignored in this check specified in ignore.

By default this skips private attributes beginning with ‘_’ but includes all magic methods, i.e. those starting and ending in ‘__’.

Novo na versão 3.5.

test.support.patch(test_instance, object_to_patch, attr_name, new_value)¶: Override object_to_patch.attr_name with new_value. Also add cleanup procedure to test_instance to restore object_to_patch for attr_name. The attr_name should be a valid attribute for object_to_patch.

test.support.run_in_subinterp(code)¶: Run code in subinterpreter. Raise unittest.SkipTest if tracemalloc is enabled.

test.support.check_free_after_iterating(test, iter, cls, args=())¶: Assert that iter is deallocated after iterating.

test.support.missing_compiler_executable(cmd_names=[])¶: Check for the existence of the compiler executables whose names are listed in cmd_names or all the compiler executables when cmd_names is empty and return the first missing executable or None when none is found missing.

test.support.check__all__(test_case, module, name_of_module=None, extra=(), blacklist=())¶

Assert that the __all__ variable of module contains all public names.

The module’s public names (its API) are detected automatically based on whether they match the public name convention and were defined in module.

The name_of_module argument can specify (as a string or tuple thereof) what module(s) an API could be defined in order to be detected as a public API. One case for this is when module imports part of its public API from other modules, possibly a C backend (like csv and its _csv).

The extra argument can be a set of names that wouldn’t otherwise be automatically detected as “public”, like objects without a proper __module__ attribute. If provided, it will be added to the automatically detected ones.

The blacklist argument can be a set of names that must not be treated as part of the public API even though their names indicate otherwise.

Exemplo de uso:

import bar
import foo
import unittest
from test import support

class MiscTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test__all__(self):
        support.check__all__(self, foo)

class OtherTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test__all__(self):
        extra = {'BAR_CONST', 'FOO_CONST'}
        blacklist = {'baz'}  # Undocumented name.
        # bar imports part of its API from _bar.
        support.check__all__(self, bar, ('bar', '_bar'),
                             extra=extra, blacklist=blacklist)

Novo na versão 3.6.

test.support.adjust_int_max_str_digits(max_digits)¶: This function returns a context manager that will change the global sys.set_int_max_str_digits() setting for the duration of the context to allow execution of test code that needs a different limit on the number of digits when converting between an integer and string.

Novo na versão 3.8.14.

The test.support module defines the following classes:

class test.support.TransientResource(exc, **kwargs)¶: Instances are a context manager that raises ResourceDenied if the specified exception type is raised. Any keyword arguments are treated as attribute/value pairs to be compared against any exception raised within the with statement. Only if all pairs match properly against attributes on the exception is ResourceDenied raised.

class test.support.EnvironmentVarGuard¶: Class used to temporarily set or unset environment variables. Instances can be used as a context manager and have a complete dictionary interface for querying/modifying the underlying os.environ. After exit from the context manager all changes to environment variables done through this instance will be rolled back.

Alterado na versão 3.1: Adicionada uma interface para dicionário.

EnvironmentVarGuard.set(envvar, value)¶: Temporariamente define a variável de ambiente envvar para o valor value.

EnvironmentVarGuard.unset(envvar)¶: Desativa temporariamente a variável de ambiente envvar.

class test.support.SuppressCrashReport¶

A context manager used to try to prevent crash dialog popups on tests that are expected to crash a subprocess.

No Windows, desativa as caixas de diálogo Relatório de Erros do Windows usando SetErrorMode <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680621.aspx>_.

On UNIX, resource.setrlimit() is used to set resource.RLIMIT_CORE’s soft limit to 0 to prevent coredump file creation.

On both platforms, the old value is restored by __exit__().

class test.support.CleanImport(*module_names)¶

A context manager to force import to return a new module reference. This is useful for testing module-level behaviors, such as the emission of a DeprecationWarning on import. Example usage:

with CleanImport('foo'):
    importlib.import_module('foo')  # New reference.

class test.support.DirsOnSysPath(*paths)¶

A context manager to temporarily add directories to sys.path.

This makes a copy of sys.path, appends any directories given as positional arguments, then reverts sys.path to the copied settings when the context ends.

Note that all sys.path modifications in the body of the context manager, including replacement of the object, will be reverted at the end of the block.

class test.support.SaveSignals¶: Class to save and restore signal handlers registered by the Python signal handler.

class test.support.Matcher¶

matches(self, d, **kwargs)¶: Tenta corresponder um único dicionário com os argumentos fornecidos.

match_value(self, k, dv, v)¶: Tente combinar um único valor armazenado (dv) com um valor fornecido (v).

class test.support.WarningsRecorder¶: Class used to record warnings for unit tests. See documentation of check_warnings() above for more details.

class test.support.BasicTestRunner¶

run(test)¶: Executa test e retorna o resultado.

class test.support.TestHandler(logging.handlers.BufferingHandler)¶: Class for logging support.

class test.support.FakePath(path)¶: Simple path-like object. It implements the __fspath__() method which just returns the path argument. If path is an exception, it will be raised in __fspath__().

`test.support.script_helper` — Utilities for the Python execution tests¶

The test.support.script_helper module provides support for Python’s script execution tests.

test.support.script_helper.interpreter_requires_environment()¶

Return True if sys.executable interpreter requires environment variables in order to be able to run at all.

This is designed to be used with @unittest.skipIf() to annotate tests that need to use an assert_python*() function to launch an isolated mode (-I) or no environment mode (-E) sub-interpreter process.

A normal build & test does not run into this situation but it can happen when trying to run the standard library test suite from an interpreter that doesn’t have an obvious home with Python’s current home finding logic.

Setting PYTHONHOME is one way to get most of the testsuite to run in that situation. PYTHONPATH or PYTHONUSERSITE are other common environment variables that might impact whether or not the interpreter can start.

test.support.script_helper.run_python_until_end(*args, **env_vars)¶: Set up the environment based on env_vars for running the interpreter in a subprocess. The values can include __isolated, __cleanenv, __cwd, and TERM.

test.support.script_helper.assert_python_ok(*args, **env_vars)¶

Assert that running the interpreter with args and optional environment variables env_vars succeeds (rc == 0) and return a (return code, stdout, stderr) tuple.

If the __cleanenv keyword is set, env_vars is used as a fresh environment.

Python is started in isolated mode (command line option -I), except if the __isolated keyword is set to False.

test.support.script_helper.assert_python_failure(*args, **env_vars)¶

Assert that running the interpreter with args and optional environment variables env_vars fails (rc != 0) and return a (return code, stdout, stderr) tuple.

See assert_python_ok() for more options.

test.support.script_helper.spawn_python(*args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, **kw)¶

Run a Python subprocess with the given arguments.

kw is extra keyword args to pass to subprocess.Popen(). Returns a subprocess.Popen object.

test.support.script_helper.kill_python(p)¶: Run the given subprocess.Popen process until completion and return stdout.

test.support.script_helper.make_script(script_dir, script_basename, source, omit_suffix=False)¶: Cria um script contendo source no caminho script_dir e script_basename. Se omit_suffix False, acrescente .py ao nome. Retorna o caminho completo do script.

test.support.script_helper.make_zip_script(zip_dir, zip_basename, script_name, name_in_zip=None)¶: Cria um arquivo zip em zip_dir e zip_basename com a extensão zip que contém os arquivos em script_name. name_in_zip é o nome do arquivo. Retorna uma tupla contendo (full path, full path of archive name).

test.support.script_helper.make_pkg(pkg_dir, init_source='')¶: Cria um diretório nomeado pkg_dir contendo um arquivo __init__ com init_source como seus conteúdos.

test.support.script_helper.make_zip_pkg(zip_dir, zip_basename, pkg_name, script_basename, source, depth=1, compiled=False)¶: Create a zip package directory with a path of zip_dir and zip_basename containing an empty __init__ file and a file script_basename containing the source. If compiled is True, both source files will be compiled and added to the zip package. Return a tuple of the full zip path and the archive name for the zip file.
