I'm doing a testing unit that requires the tests to be run via web browser. I'm using Ubuntu VPS 14 with LAMP stack installed, mod_wsgi, selenium 2.44 and PhantomJS 1.9. I'm testing with the very simple code first:
from flask import Flask, request
from selenium import webdriver
app = Flask(__name__)
app.debug = True
#app.route("/test")
def test():
url = "http://www.google.com"
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS('./phantomjs')
driver.get(url)
result = driver.page_source
driver.close()
return result
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
The code runs very smoothly on my local Ubuntu, it prints out the google page when I connect to: 127.0.0.1:5000/test . On my Ubuntu VPS, my have my flask already setup and running. Now i use the same code to be the index file (supposed all configs are OK and 'hello world' runs), I have 500 Internal Server Error when connecting to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/test
Apache log sends out the following error:
... service_args=service_args, log_path=service_log_path File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/ddist-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/service.py",
line 53, in init
self._log = open(log_path, 'w') in > ignored Exception AttributeError: "'Service' object
has no attribute '_log'" in > ignored
I changed the log_path for phatomJS but still have the same problem. However, if I open python console, doing line by line as following:
from selenium import webdriver
br = webdriver.PhantomJS('./phantomjs')
....
I got no error. It took me the whole day to fin the problem but I could't be able to fix it. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Figure out the problem, current phantomjs and init.py don't have enough permission to manipulate the service.py of ghostdriver. Here is the fix:
Add a new user: "add username", then set "add username sudo"
Login to the new user, make sure every command you run from now on starts with "sudo"
In your flask application where init.py resides, create "ghostdriver.log" and "phantomjs" which is an executable file.
Chmod both of them to 777 : init.py, ghostdriver.log and phantomjs
Set the custom config in init.py for phantomjs:
br = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_log_path='./ghostdriver.log', executable_path='./phantomjs')
That's it, now your selenium + flask + phantomjs is now working correctly.
On OSX Maverick, I have this PyObjC(python3.3) based simple APP
test.py
class MyDelegate(NSObject):
def applicationDidFinishLaunching_(self, sender):
NSEvent.addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask_handler_(NSKeyDownMask, lambda event: NSLog("hello"))
NSApp.activateIgnoringOtherApps_(YES)
delegate = MyDelegate.alloc().init()
app = NSApplication.sharedApplication()
app.setDelegate_(delegate)
menu = NSMenu.alloc().initWithTitle_("My Menu")
app.setMainMenu_(menu)
window = NSWindow.alloc().initWithContentRect_styleMask_backing_defer_(
NSMakeRect(0, 0, 100, 100),
NSTitledWindowMask,
NSBackingStoreBuffered,
NO
)
window.setTitle_("my app")
window.makeKeyAndOrderFront_(None)
windowController = NSWindowController.alloc().initWithWindow_(window)
AppHelper.runEventLoop()
Ran it with
python3 test.py
and give accessibility access to Terminal in System Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Accessibility
I could see the global monitor works.
Then I froze it with cx_Freeze
python3 setup.py bdist_mac
ends up with
build/Test.app
with
open build/Test.app
I'm seeing error in OSX system log
universalAccessAuthWarn[546]: AccessibilityAPI: pid 3809, is not allowed to access the accessibility API. Path: /path/to/build/Test.app/Contents/MacOS/test
I've enabled access for "test" in "System Preferences" -> "Privacy & Security" -> "Accessibility" which doesn't work.
What I'm missing here?
UPDATE:
Probably was cx_Freeze's problem, using py2app(0.8) made the global event monitor work. Thanks for Ronald Oussoren's hint (see answer & comment below).
I don't know why this doesn't work with cx_Freeze, it does work for me with py2app using this setup.py file:
from setuptools import setup
setup(
name='main',
app=['test.py'],
setup_requires=['py2app'],
)
That is, when I launch the application, give it accessibility access and then relaunch the application I see logging from the application in Console.app.
I have a directory that contains my Python unit tests. Each unit test module is of the form test_*.py. I am attempting to make a file called all_test.py that will, you guessed it, run all files in the aforementioned test form and return the result. I have tried two methods so far; both have failed. I will show the two methods, and I hope someone out there knows how to actually do this correctly.
For my first valiant attempt, I thought "If I just import all my testing modules in the file, and then call this unittest.main() doodad, it will work, right?" Well, turns out I was wrong.
import glob
import unittest
testSuite = unittest.TestSuite()
test_file_strings = glob.glob('test_*.py')
module_strings = [str[0:len(str)-3] for str in test_file_strings]
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
This did not work, the result I got was:
$ python all_test.py
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s
OK
For my second try, I though, ok, maybe I will try to do this whole testing thing in a more "manual" fashion. So I attempted to do that below:
import glob
import unittest
testSuite = unittest.TestSuite()
test_file_strings = glob.glob('test_*.py')
module_strings = [str[0:len(str)-3] for str in test_file_strings]
[__import__(str) for str in module_strings]
suites = [unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromName(str) for str in module_strings]
[testSuite.addTest(suite) for suite in suites]
print testSuite
result = unittest.TestResult()
testSuite.run(result)
print result
#Ok, at this point I have a result
#How do I display it as the normal unit test command line output?
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
This also did not work, but it seems so close!
$ python all_test.py
<unittest.TestSuite tests=[<unittest.TestSuite tests=[<unittest.TestSuite tests=[<test_main.TestMain testMethod=test_respondes_to_get>]>]>]>
<unittest.TestResult run=1 errors=0 failures=0>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s
OK
I seem to have a suite of some sort, and I can execute the result. I am a little concerned about the fact that it says I have only run=1, seems like that should be run=2, but it is progress. But how do I pass and display the result to main? Or how do I basically get it working so I can just run this file, and in doing so, run all the unit tests in this directory?
With Python 2.7 and higher you don't have to write new code or use third-party tools to do this; recursive test execution via the command line is built-in. Put an __init__.py in your test directory and:
python -m unittest discover <test_directory>
# or
python -m unittest discover -s <directory> -p '*_test.py'
You can read more in the python 2.7
or python 3.x unittest documentation.
Update for 2021:
Lots of modern python projects use more advanced tools like pytest. For example, pull down matplotlib or scikit-learn and you will see they both use it.
It is important to know about these newer tools because when you have more than 7000 tests you need:
more advanced ways to summarize what passes, skipped, warnings, errors
easy ways to see how they failed
percent complete as it is running
total run time
ways to generate a test report
etc etc
In python 3, if you're using unittest.TestCase:
You must have an empty (or otherwise) __init__.py file in your test directory (must be named test/)
Your test files inside test/ match the pattern test_*.py.
They can be inside a subdirectory under test/. Those subdirs can be named as anything, but they all need to have an __init__.py file in them
Then, you can run all the tests with:
python -m unittest
Done! A solution less than 100 lines. Hopefully another python beginner saves time by finding this.
You could use a test runner that would do this for you. nose is very good for example. When run, it will find tests in the current tree and run them.
Updated:
Here's some code from my pre-nose days. You probably don't want the explicit list of module names, but maybe the rest will be useful to you.
testmodules = [
'cogapp.test_makefiles',
'cogapp.test_whiteutils',
'cogapp.test_cogapp',
]
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
for t in testmodules:
try:
# If the module defines a suite() function, call it to get the suite.
mod = __import__(t, globals(), locals(), ['suite'])
suitefn = getattr(mod, 'suite')
suite.addTest(suitefn())
except (ImportError, AttributeError):
# else, just load all the test cases from the module.
suite.addTest(unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromName(t))
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(suite)
This is now possible directly from unittest: unittest.TestLoader.discover.
import unittest
loader = unittest.TestLoader()
start_dir = 'path/to/your/test/files'
suite = loader.discover(start_dir)
runner = unittest.TextTestRunner()
runner.run(suite)
Well by studying the code above a bit (specifically using TextTestRunner and defaultTestLoader), I was able to get pretty close. Eventually I fixed my code by also just passing all test suites to a single suites constructor, rather than adding them "manually", which fixed my other problems. So here is my solution.
import glob
import unittest
test_files = glob.glob('test_*.py')
module_strings = [test_file[0:len(test_file)-3] for test_file in test_files]
suites = [unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromName(test_file) for test_file in module_strings]
test_suite = unittest.TestSuite(suites)
test_runner = unittest.TextTestRunner().run(test_suite)
Yeah, it is probably easier to just use nose than to do this, but that is besides the point.
If you want to run all the tests from various test case classes and you're happy to specify them explicitly then you can do it like this:
from unittest import TestLoader, TextTestRunner, TestSuite
from uclid.test.test_symbols import TestSymbols
from uclid.test.test_patterns import TestPatterns
if __name__ == "__main__":
loader = TestLoader()
tests = [
loader.loadTestsFromTestCase(test)
for test in (TestSymbols, TestPatterns)
]
suite = TestSuite(tests)
runner = TextTestRunner(verbosity=2)
runner.run(suite)
where uclid is my project and TestSymbols and TestPatterns are subclasses of TestCase.
I have used the discover method and an overloading of load_tests to achieve this result in a (minimal, I think) number lines of code:
def load_tests(loader, tests, pattern):
''' Discover and load all unit tests in all files named ``*_test.py`` in ``./src/``
'''
suite = TestSuite()
for all_test_suite in unittest.defaultTestLoader.discover('src', pattern='*_tests.py'):
for test_suite in all_test_suite:
suite.addTests(test_suite)
return suite
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
Execution on fives something like
Ran 27 tests in 0.187s
OK
I tried various approaches but all seem flawed or I have to makeup some code, that's annoying. But there's a convinient way under linux, that is simply to find every test through certain pattern and then invoke them one by one.
find . -name 'Test*py' -exec python '{}' \;
and most importantly, it definitely works.
In case of a packaged library or application, you don't want to do it. setuptools will do it for you.
To use this command, your project’s tests must be wrapped in a unittest test suite by either a function, a TestCase class or method, or a module or package containing TestCase classes. If the named suite is a module, and the module has an additional_tests() function, it is called and the result (which must be a unittest.TestSuite) is added to the tests to be run. If the named suite is a package, any submodules and subpackages are recursively added to the overall test suite.
Just tell it where your root test package is, like:
setup(
# ...
test_suite = 'somepkg.test'
)
And run python setup.py test.
File-based discovery may be problematic in Python 3, unless you avoid relative imports in your test suite, because discover uses file import. Even though it supports optional top_level_dir, but I had some infinite recursion errors. So a simple solution for a non-packaged code is to put the following in __init__.py of your test package (see load_tests Protocol).
import unittest
from . import foo, bar
def load_tests(loader, tests, pattern):
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTests(loader.loadTestsFromModule(foo))
suite.addTests(loader.loadTestsFromModule(bar))
return suite
This is an old question, but what worked for me now (in 2019) is:
python -m unittest *_test.py
All my test files are in the same folder as the source files and they end with _test.
I use PyDev/LiClipse and haven't really figured out how to run all tests at once from the GUI. (edit: you right click the root test folder and choose Run as -> Python unit-test
This is my current workaround:
import unittest
def load_tests(loader, tests, pattern):
return loader.discover('.')
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
I put this code in a module called all in my test directory. If I run this module as a unittest from LiClipse then all tests are run. If I ask to only repeat specific or failed tests then only those tests are run. It doesn't interfere with my commandline test runner either (nosetests) -- it's ignored.
You may need to change the arguments to discover based on your project setup.
Based on the answer of Stephen Cagle I added support for nested test modules.
import fnmatch
import os
import unittest
def all_test_modules(root_dir, pattern):
test_file_names = all_files_in(root_dir, pattern)
return [path_to_module(str) for str in test_file_names]
def all_files_in(root_dir, pattern):
matches = []
for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(root_dir):
for filename in fnmatch.filter(filenames, pattern):
matches.append(os.path.join(root, filename))
return matches
def path_to_module(py_file):
return strip_leading_dots( \
replace_slash_by_dot( \
strip_extension(py_file)))
def strip_extension(py_file):
return py_file[0:len(py_file) - len('.py')]
def replace_slash_by_dot(str):
return str.replace('\\', '.').replace('/', '.')
def strip_leading_dots(str):
while str.startswith('.'):
str = str[1:len(str)]
return str
module_names = all_test_modules('.', '*Tests.py')
suites = [unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromName(mname) for mname
in module_names]
testSuite = unittest.TestSuite(suites)
runner = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=1)
runner.run(testSuite)
The code searches all subdirectories of . for *Tests.py files which are then loaded. It expects each *Tests.py to contain a single class *Tests(unittest.TestCase) which is loaded in turn and executed one after another.
This works with arbitrary deep nesting of directories/modules, but each directory in between needs to contain an empty __init__.py file at least. This allows the test to load the nested modules by replacing slashes (or backslashes) by dots (see replace_slash_by_dot).
I just created a discover.py file in my base test directory and added import statements for anything in my sub directories. Then discover is able to find all my tests in those directories by running it on discover.py
python -m unittest discover ./test -p '*.py'
# /test/discover.py
import unittest
from test.package1.mod1 import XYZTest
from test.package1.package2.mod2 import ABCTest
...
if __name__ == "__main__"
unittest.main()
Encountered the same issue.
The solution is to add an empty __init__.py to each folder and uses python -m unittest discover -s
Project Structure
tests/
__init__.py
domain/
value_object/
__init__.py
test_name.py
__init__.py
presentation/
__init__.py
test_app.py
And running the command
python -m unittest discover -s tests/domain
To get the expected outcome

Because Test discovery seems to be a complete subject, there is some dedicated framework to test discovery :

This BASH script will execute the python unittest test directory from ANYWHERE in the file system, no matter what working directory you are in: its working directory always be where that test directory is located.
ALL TESTS, independent $PWD
unittest Python module is sensitive to your current directory, unless you tell it where (using discover -s option).
This is useful when staying in the ./src or ./example working directory and you need a quick overall unit test:
#!/bin/bash
this_program="$0"
dirname="`dirname $this_program`"
readlink="`readlink -e $dirname`"
python -m unittest discover -s "$readlink"/test -v
SELECTED TESTS, independent $PWD
I name this utility file: runone.py and use it like this:
runone.py <test-python-filename-minus-dot-py-fileextension>
#!/bin/bash
this_program="$0"
dirname="`dirname $this_program`"
readlink="`readlink -e $dirname`"
(cd "$dirname"/test; python -m unittest $1)
No need for a test/__init__.py file to burden your package/memory-overhead during production.
I have no package and as mentioned on this page, this is creating issue while issing dicovery. So, I used the following solution. All the test result will be put in a given output folder.

In your test files, you need to have a main like this:
if __name__ == "__main__":
import xmlrunner
import sys
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
outputFolder = sys.argv.pop() #avoid conflic with unittest.main
else:
outputFolder = r'test-reports'
print("Report will be created and store there: " + outputFolder)
unittest.main(testRunner=xmlrunner.XMLTestRunner(output=outputFolder))
Here is my approach by creating a wrapper to run tests from the command line:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os, sys, unittest, argparse, inspect, logging
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Parse arguments.
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(add_help=False)

return suite
# Add all tests.
alltests = unittest.TestSuite()
for name, obj in inspect.getmembers(sys.modules[__name__]):
if inspect.isclass(obj) and name.startswith("FooTest"):
alltests.addTest(make_suite(obj))
# Set-up logger
verbose = bool(os.environ.get('VERBOSE', args.verbose))
debug = bool(os.environ.get('DEBUG', args.debug))
if verbose or debug:

root.setLevel(logging.INFO if verbose else logging.DEBUG)
ch = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
ch.setLevel(logging.INFO if verbose else logging.DEBUG)
ch.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(levelname)s: %(name)s: %(message)s'))
root.addHandler(ch)
else:
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)
# Run tests.
result = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(alltests)
sys.exit(not result.wasSuccessful())
For sake of simplicity, please excuse my non-PEP8 coding standards.
Then you can create BaseTest class for common components for all your tests, so each of your test would simply look like:
from BaseTest import BaseTest
class FooTestPagesBasic(BaseTest):
def test_foo(self):
driver = self.driver
driver.get(self.base_url + "/")
To run, you simply specifying tests as part of the command line arguments, e.g.:
./run_tests.py -h http://example.com/ tests/**/*.py
