torment.contexts — Testing Contexts

class torment.contexts.MetaContext(name, bases, dct) → None

torment.TestContext class creator.

Generates all testing methods that correspond with the fixtures associated with a torment.TestContext. Also updates the definitions of mocks_mask and mocks to include the union of all involved classes in the creation process (all parent classes and the class being created).

When creating a torment.TestContext subclass, ensure you specify this class as its metaclass to automatically generate test cases based on its fixture_classes property.

module

Actual module name corresponding to this context’s testing module.

class torment.contexts.TestContext(methodName='runTest')

Environment for Fixture execution.

Provides convenience methods indicating the environment a Fixture is executing in. This includes a references to the real module corresponding to the context’s testing module as well as a housing for the assertion methods.

Inherits most of its functionality from unittest.TestCase with a couple of additions. TestContext does extend setUp.

When used in conjunction with torment.MetaContext, the fixture_classes property must be an iterable of subclasses of torment.fixtures.Fixture.
