type RelaxTestResult

Known Subclasses:

• GuiTestResult

A replacement for the TextTestResult class.

This class is designed to catch STDOUT and STDERR during the execution of each test and to prepend the output to the failure and error reports normally generated by TextTestRunner.

Instance Methods

__init__(self, stream, descriptions, verbosity, category=None, timing=False, io_capture=True)
Initialise the RelaxTestResult object with relax specific variables.

addError(self, test, err)
Override of the TestResult.addError() method.

addFailure(self, test, err)
Override of the TestResult.addFailure() method.

addSuccess(self, test)
The method for a successful test.

startTest(self, test)
Override of the TextTestResult.startTest() method.

stopTest(self, test)
Override of the TextTestResult.stopTest() method.

write_time(self, test_name)
Write the timing of the test to the stream.

Method Details

__init__(self, stream, descriptions, verbosity, category=None, timing=False, io_capture=True)
(Constructor)

Initialise the RelaxTestResult object with relax specific variables.

Parameters:

• stream (writable object) - The IO stream to write all output to.
• descriptions (bool) - A flag which if True will cause the test description to be printed out, when the verbosity is > 1.
• verbosity (int) - The verbosity level.
• category (str) - The type of test being performed, to allow the printouts to be changed. This can be one of 'system', 'unit', 'gui', or 'verification'.
• timing (bool) - A flag which if True will enable timing of individual tests.
• io_capture (bool) - A flag which if True will cause all IO to be captured and only printed out for failing or error tests.

Overrides: unittest.result.TestResult.__init__

addError(self, test, err)

Override of the TestResult.addError() method.

The STDOUT and STDERR captured text is prepended to the error text here.

Parameters:

• test (TestCase instance) - The test object.
• err (tuple of values) - A tuple of values as returned by sys.exc_info().

Overrides: unittest.result.TestResult.addError

addFailure(self, test, err)

Override of the TestResult.addFailure() method.

The STDOUT and STDERR captured text is prepended to the failure text here.

Parameters:

• test (TestCase instance) - The test object.
• err (tuple of values) - A tuple of values as returned by sys.exc_info().

Overrides: unittest.result.TestResult.addFailure

addSuccess(self, test)

The method for a successful test.

Parameters:

• test (TestCase instance) - The test object.

Overrides: unittest.result.TestResult.addSuccess

startTest(self, test)

Override of the TextTestResult.startTest() method.

The start of STDOUT and STDERR capture occurs here.

Overrides: unittest.result.TestResult.startTest

stopTest(self, test)

Override of the TextTestResult.stopTest() method.

The end of STDOUT and STDERR capture occurs here.

Overrides: unittest.result.TestResult.stopTest

write_time(self, test_name)

Write the timing of the test to the stream.

Parameters:

• test_name (str) - The TestCase name.
