What's new
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
0.11 is a major release of nose, featuring several new or improved plugins,
|
|
completely revised documentation, some small, mostly backwards-compatible
|
|
changes in behavior, and numerous bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
New plugins
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Multiprocess <plugins/multiprocess>`
|
|
|
|
The multiprocess plugin enables splitting test runs across multiple
|
|
processes. For some test suites, this can shorten run time tremendously.
|
|
See also: :doc:`doc_tests/test_multiprocess/multiprocess`.
|
|
|
|
.. warning ::
|
|
|
|
The multiprocess plugin is not available on Windows.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Log capture <plugins/logcapture>`
|
|
|
|
The log capture plugin does for logging what the
|
|
:doc:`capture <plugins/capture>` plugin does for stdout. All :mod:`logging`
|
|
messages produced during a failing test are appended to the error
|
|
output printed at the end of the test run.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Xunit <plugins/xunit>`
|
|
|
|
The Xunit plugin produces a test result file in ant/junit xml format,
|
|
suitable for use with `Hudson`_ and other continuous integration systems
|
|
that consume this format.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Collect only <plugins/collect>`
|
|
|
|
The collect only plugin just collects all of your tests, it doesn't run
|
|
them. Fixtures are also skipped, so collection should be quick.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Collect tests from all modules <plugins/allmodules>`
|
|
|
|
This plugin enables collecting tests from all python modules, not just those
|
|
that match testMatch.

Plugin improvements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* Doctest fixtures
|
|
|
|
The :doc:`doctest plugin <plugins/doctests>` now supports using fixtures with
|
|
doctest files. You can specify a module prefix (eg, "_fixture") and if a
|
|
module exists with that prefix appended to the name of the doctest file (eg,
|
|
"test_pillow_fixture.py" for the doctest file "test_pillow.txt"), then
|
|
fixtures for the doctest will be extracted from the module. See
|
|
:doc:`doc_tests/test_doctest_fixtures/doctest_fixtures` for more.
|
|
|
|
* Looping over failed tests
|
|
|
|
The :doc:`testid plugin <plugins/testid>` has been much improved. It is
|
|
possible now to leave it on all the time: the recorded test id list will be
|
|
refreshed appropriately if you pass non-id test names. Leaving testid on is
|
|
recommended if you want to use the new :option:`--failed` option. This
|
|
option will direct nose to replay the last set of failed tests, if any. It's
|
|
very convenient for handling regressions, as it enables you to easily re-run
|
|
just the tests you want to.
|
|
|
|
* HTML coverage reports
|
|
|
|
The :doc:`coverage plugin <plugins/cover>` can now produce html coverage
|
|
reports. Use the :option:`--cover-html` commandline option to activate html
|
|
reports.
|
|
|
|
Changes
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* **All new documentation!** nose's documentation is now generated by
|
|
Sphinx. And thanks to Pam Zerbinos, it is much better organized and easier
|
|
to use and read.
|
|
|
|
* Two new core commandline options can help with testing namespace
|
|
packages. :option:`--first-package-wins` is useful when you want to test one
|
|
part of a namespace package that uses another part; in previous versions of
|
|
nose, the other part of the namespace package would be evicted from
|
|
sys.modules when the 2nd loaded. :option:`--traverse-namespace` is useful if
|
|
you want nose to discover tests across entries in a package's
|
|
__path__. (This was formerly the default behavior).
|
|
|
|
* To make it easier to use custom plugins without needing setuptools,
|
|
:func:`nose.core.main` and :func:`nose.core.run` now support an
|
|
:doc:`addplugins <doc_tests/test_addplugins/test_addplugins>` keyword
|
|
argument that takes a list of additional plugins to make available. **Note**
|
|
that adding a plugin to this list **does not** activate or enable the
|
|
plugin, only makes it available to be enabled via command-line or
|
|
config file settings.
|
|
|
|
* Thanks to Kevin Mitchell, nose is now more compatible with
|
|
IronPython. IronPython is still not fully supported, but it should work. If
|
|
you'd like to improve nose's support for IronPython further, please join the
|
|
`nose developer's list`_ and volunteer to become the IronPython maintainer for
|
|
nose!
