I have a desire to use Nose for an over the wire integration test suite. However, the order of execution of some of these tests is important.
That said, I thought I would toss together a quick plugin to decorate a test with the order I want it executed: https://gist.github.com/Redsz/5736166
def Foo(unittest.TestCase):
@step(number=1)
def test_foo(self):
pass
@step(number=2)
def test_boo(self):
pass
From reviewing the built in plugins I had thought, I could simply override loadTestsFromTestCase
and order the tests by the decorated 'step number'.:
def loadTestsFromTestCase(self, cls):
"""
Return tests in this test case class. Ordered by the step definitions.
"""
l = loader.TestLoader()
tmp = l.loadTestsFromTestCase(cls)
test_order = []
for test in tmp._tests:
order = test.test._testMethodName
func = getattr(cls, test.test._testMethodName)
if hasattr(func, 'number'):
order = getattr(func, 'number')
test_order.append((test, order))
test_order.sort(key=lambda tup: tup[1])
tmp._tests = (t[0] for t in test_order)
return tmp
This method is returning the tests in the order I desire, however when the tests are being executed by nose they are not being executed in this order?
Perhaps I need to move this concept of ordering to a different location?
UPDATE: As per the comment I made, the plugin is actually working as expected. I was mistaken to trust the pycharm test reporter. The tests are running as expected. Rather than removing the question I figured I would leave it up.
From the documentation:
[...] nose runs functional tests in the order in which they appear in the module file. TestCase-derived tests and other test classes are run in alphabetical order.
So a simple solution might be to rename the tests in your test case:
class Foo(unittest.TestCase):
def test_01_foo(self):
pass
def test_02_boo(self):
pass
