test — Regression tests package for 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)

    When using this pattern, remember that all classes that inherit from unittest.TestCase are run as tests. The TestFuncAcceptsSequencesMixin class in the example above does not have any data and so can’t be run by itself, thus it does not inherit from 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.verbose

True quando a saída detalhada está habilitada. Deve ser verificado quando informações mais detalhadas são desejadas sobre um teste em execução. verbose é definido por test.regrtest.

test.support.is_jython

True se o interpretador em execução for Jython.

test.support.is_android

True se o sistema é Android.

test.support.unix_shell

Caminho para o console se não estiver no Windows; por outro lado None

test.support.LOOPBACK_TIMEOUT

Tempo limite em segundos para testes usando um servidor de rede escutando na interface de loopback local da rede como 127.0.0.1.

O tempo limite é longo o suficiente para evitar a falha do teste: leva em consideração que o cliente e o servidor podem ser executados em diferentes threads ou mesmo processos diferentes.

O tempo limite deve ser longo o suficiente para os métodos connect(), recv() e send() de socket.socket.

Seu valor padrão é 5 segundos.

Veja também INTERNET_TIMEOUT.

test.support.INTERNET_TIMEOUT

Tempo limite em segundos para solicitações de rede indo para a Internet.

O tempo limite é curto o suficiente para evitar que um teste espere muito tempo se a requisição da Internet for bloqueada por qualquer motivo.

Normalmente, um tempo limite usando INTERNET_TIMEOUT não deve marcar um teste como falhado, mas ignorá-lo: veja transient_internet().

Seu valor padrão é 1 minuto.

Veja também LOOPBACK_TIMEOUT.

test.support.SHORT_TIMEOUT

Tempo limite em segundos para marcar um teste como falho se o teste demorar “muito tempo”.

O valor do tempo limite depende da opção da linha de comando regrtest --timeout.

Se um teste usando SHORT_TIMEOUT começar a falhar aleatoriamente em buildbots lentos, use LONG_TIMEOUT.

Seu valor padrão é 30 segundos.

test.support.LONG_TIMEOUT

Tempo limite em segundos para detectar quando um teste trava.

É longo o suficiente para reduzir o risco de falha de teste nos buildbots Python mais lentos. Não deve ser usado para marcar um teste como reprovado se o teste demorar “muito tempo”. O valor do tempo limite depende da opção de linha de comando regrtest --timeout.

Seu valor padrão é 5 minutos.

Veja também LOOPBACK_TIMEOUT, INTERNET_TIMEOUT e SHORT_TIMEOUT.

test.support.PGO

Definido quando os testes podem ser ignorados quando não são úteis para PGO.

test.support.PIPE_MAX_SIZE

Uma constante que provavelmente é maior que o tamanho do buffer de canal do sistema operacional subjacente, para fazer o bloqueio de escritas.

test.support.Py_DEBUG

True if Python was built with the Py_DEBUG macro defined, that is, if Python was built in debug mode.

Adicionado na versão 3.12.

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

Set to True if Python is built without docstrings (the WITH_DOC_STRINGS macro is not defined). See the configure --without-doc-strings option.

See also the HAVE_DOCSTRINGS variable.

test.support.HAVE_DOCSTRINGS

Set to True if function docstrings are available. See the python -OO option, which strips docstrings of functions implemented in Python.

See also the MISSING_C_DOCSTRINGS variable.

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.NEVER_EQ

Object that is not equal to anything (even to ALWAYS_EQ). 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.busy_retry(timeout, err_msg=None, /, *, error=True)

Run the loop body until break stops the loop.

After timeout seconds, raise an AssertionError if error is true, or just stop the loop if error is false.

Exemplo:

for _ in support.busy_retry(support.SHORT_TIMEOUT):
    if check():
        break

Example of error=False usage:

for _ in support.busy_retry(support.SHORT_TIMEOUT, error=False):
    if check():
        break
else:
    raise RuntimeError('my custom error')
test.support.sleeping_retry(timeout, err_msg=None, /, *, init_delay=0.010, max_delay=1.0, error=True)

Wait strategy that applies exponential backoff.

Run the loop body until break stops the loop. Sleep at each loop iteration, but not at the first iteration. The sleep delay is doubled at each iteration (up to max_delay seconds).

See busy_retry() documentation for the parameters usage.

Example raising an exception after SHORT_TIMEOUT seconds:

for _ in support.sleeping_retry(support.SHORT_TIMEOUT):
    if check():
        break

Example of error=False usage:

for _ in support.sleeping_retry(support.SHORT_TIMEOUT, error=False):
    if check():
        break
else:
    raise RuntimeError('my custom error')
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()

Return _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.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.get_pagesize()

Get size of a page in bytes.

Adicionado na versão 3.12.

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. This function returns True or False depending on the host platform. Example usage:

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.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.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.disable_faulthandler()

Um gerenciador de contexto que desativa temporariamente faulthandler.

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 on entry. On exit, the garbage collector is restored to its prior state.

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.flush_std_streams()

Call the flush() method on sys.stdout and then on sys.stderr. It can be used to make sure that the logs order is consistent before writing into stderr.

Adicionado na versão 3.11.

test.support.print_warning(msg)

Print a warning into sys.__stderr__. Format the message as: f"Warning -- {msg}". If msg is made of multiple lines, add "Warning -- " prefix to each line.

Adicionado na versão 3.9.

test.support.wait_process(pid, *, exitcode, timeout=None)

Wait until process pid completes and check that the process exit code is exitcode.

Raise an AssertionError if the process exit code is not equal to exitcode.

If the process runs longer than timeout seconds (SHORT_TIMEOUT by default), kill the process and raise an AssertionError. The timeout feature is not available on Windows.

Adicionado na versão 3.9.

test.support.calcobjsize(fmt)

Return the size of the PyObject whose structure members are defined by fmt. The returned value includes the size of the Python object header and alignment.

test.support.calcvobjsize(fmt)

Return the size of the PyVarObject whose structure members are defined by fmt. The returned value includes the size of the Python object header and alignment.

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.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.system_must_validate_cert(f)

A decorator that skips the decorated test on TLS certification validation failures.

@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, the test is skipped.

@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, the test is skipped.

@test.support.requires_mac_version(*min_version)

Decorator for the minimum version when running test on macOS. If the macOS version is less than the minimum, the test is skipped.

@test.support.requires_gil_enabled

Decorador para pular testes na construção com threads livres. Se a GIL estiver desabilitada, o teste será ignorado.

@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.requires_limited_api

Decorator for only running the test if Limited C API is available.

@test.support.cpython_only

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

Decorator to temporarily turn off tracing for the duration of the test.

@test.support.refcount_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.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

Decorador para testes que preeenche o espaço do endereço.

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.open_urlresource(url, *args, **kw)

Abre url. Se falhar em abrir, levanta TestFailed.

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.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)

Adicionado na versão 3.8.

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.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 ‘__’.

Adicionado 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 instances of cls are 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=(), not_exported=())

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 not_exported 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'}
        not_exported = {'baz'}  # Undocumented name.
        # bar imports part of its API from _bar.
        support.check__all__(self, bar, ('bar', '_bar'),
                             extra=extra, not_exported=not_exported)

Adicionado na versão 3.6.

test.support.skip_if_broken_multiprocessing_synchronize()

Skip tests if the multiprocessing.synchronize module is missing, if there is no available semaphore implementation, or if creating a lock raises an OSError.

Adicionado na versão 3.10.

test.support.check_disallow_instantiation(test_case, tp, *args, **kwds)

Assert that type tp cannot be instantiated using args and kwds.

Adicionado na versão 3.10.

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.

Adicionado na versão 3.11.

The test.support module defines the following classes:

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.SaveSignals

Class to save and restore signal handlers registered by the Python signal handler.

save(self)

Save the signal handlers to a dictionary mapping signal numbers to the current signal handler.

restore(self)

Set the signal numbers from the save() dictionary to the saved 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).

test.support.socket_helper — Utilities for socket tests

The test.support.socket_helper module provides support for socket tests.

Adicionado na versão 3.9.

test.support.socket_helper.IPV6_ENABLED

Set to True if IPv6 is enabled on this host, False otherwise.

test.support.socket_helper.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.socket_helper.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.socket_helper.bind_unix_socket(sock, addr)

Bind a Unix socket, raising unittest.SkipTest if PermissionError is raised.

@test.support.socket_helper.skip_unless_bind_unix_socket

A decorator for running tests that require a functional bind() for Unix sockets.

test.support.socket_helper.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.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.

Alterado na versão 3.9: The function no longer strips whitespaces from stderr.

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-only parameter 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-only parameter is set to False.

Alterado na versão 3.9: The function no longer strips whitespaces from stderr.

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.

Alterado na versão 3.9: The function no longer strips whitespaces from stderr.

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.

See threading.excepthook() documentation.

These attributes are deleted at the context manager exit.

Uso:

with threading_helper.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)

test.support.os_helper.TESTFN_NONASCII

Set to a filename containing the FS_NONASCII character, if it exists. This guarantees that if the filename exists, it can be encoded and decoded with the default filesystem encoding. This allows tests that require a non-ASCII filename to be easily skipped on platforms where they can’t work.

test.support.os_helper.TESTFN_UNENCODABLE

Define o nome de arquivo (tipo str) que não pode ser codificado pela codificação do sistema de arquivos no modo estrito. Ele pode ser None se não for possível gerar como um nome de arquivo.

test.support.os_helper.TESTFN_UNICODE

Define um nome não-ASCII para o arquivo temporário.

class test.support.os_helper.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.

class test.support.os_helper.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__().

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.

Return True if the OS supports symbolic links, False otherwise.

test.support.os_helper.can_xattr()

Return True if the OS supports xattr, False otherwise.

test.support.os_helper.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.os_helper.create_empty_file(filename)

Create an empty file with filename. If it already exists, truncate it.

test.support.os_helper.fd_count()

Conta o número de descritores de arquivos abertos.

test.support.os_helper.fs_is_case_insensitive(directory)

Return True if the file system for directory is case-insensitive.

test.support.os_helper.make_bad_fd()

Cria um descritor de arquivo inválido abrindo e fechando um arquivo temporário e retornando seu descritor.

test.support.os_helper.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, which is needed due to antivirus programs that can hold files open and prevent deletion.

test.support.os_helper.rmtree(path)

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

Um decorador para executar testes que requerem suporte para links simbólicos.

@test.support.os_helper.skip_unless_xattr

Um decorador para execução de testes que requerem suporte para xattr.

test.support.os_helper.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.os_helper.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.os_helper.temp_umask(umask)

Um gerenciador de contexto que temporariamente define o umask do processo.

Call os.unlink() on filename. As with rmdir(), on Windows platforms, this is wrapped with a wait loop that checks for the existence of the file.

test.support.import_helper — Utilities for import tests

The test.support.import_helper module provides support for import tests.

Adicionado na versão 3.10.

test.support.import_helper.forget(module_name)

Remove the module named module_name from sys.modules and delete any byte-compiled files of the module.

test.support.import_helper.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'])

Adicionado na versão 3.1.

test.support.import_helper.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.

Adicionado na versão 3.1.

test.support.import_helper.modules_setup()

Retorna a cópia de sys.modules.

test.support.import_helper.modules_cleanup(oldmodules)

Remove modules except for oldmodules and encodings in order to preserve internal cache.

test.support.import_helper.unload(name)

Exclui o name de sys.modules.

test.support.import_helper.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.

class test.support.import_helper.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.import_helper.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.

test.support.warnings_helper — Utilities for warnings tests

The test.support.warnings_helper module provides support for warnings tests.

Adicionado na versão 3.10.

test.support.warnings_helper.ignore_warnings(*, category)

Suppress warnings that are instances of category, which must be Warning or a subclass. Roughly equivalent to warnings.catch_warnings() with warnings.simplefilter('ignore', category=category). For example:

@warning_helper.ignore_warnings(category=DeprecationWarning)
def test_suppress_warning():
    # do something

Adicionado na versão 3.8.

test.support.warnings_helper.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.warnings_helper.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.

Adicionado na versão 3.8.

test.support.warnings_helper.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.

class test.support.warnings_helper.WarningsRecorder

Class used to record warnings for unit tests. See documentation of check_warnings() above for more details.
