Running single test from unittest.TestCase via command line

Question

In our team, we define most test cases like this:

One \"framework\" class ourtcfw.py:

import unittest

class OurTcFw(unittest.TestCase):         


        

Answer 1

If you check out the help of the unittest module it tells you about several combinations that allow you to run test case classes from a module and test methods from a test case class.

python3 -m unittest -h

[...]

Examples:
  python3 -m unittest test_module               - run tests from test_module
  python3 -m unittest module.TestClass          - run tests from module.TestClass
  python3 -m unittest module.Class.test_method  - run specified test method

It does not require you to define a unittest.main() as the default behaviour of your module.
