I have some kind of test data and want to create a unit test for each item. My first idea was to do it like this:
import unittest
l = [[\"foo\", \"a\", \"a\
Just use metaclasses, as seen here;
class DocTestMeta(type):
"""
Test functions are generated in metaclass due to the way some
test loaders work. For example, setupClass() won't get called
unless there are other existing test methods, and will also
prevent unit test loader logic being called before the test
methods have been defined.
"""
def __init__(self, name, bases, attrs):
super(DocTestMeta, self).__init__(name, bases, attrs)
def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
def func(self):
"""Inner test method goes here"""
self.assertTrue(1)
func.__name__ = 'test_sample'
attrs[func.__name__] = func
return super(DocTestMeta, cls).__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)
class ExampleTestCase(TestCase):
"""Our example test case, with no methods defined"""
__metaclass__ = DocTestMeta
Output:
test_sample (ExampleTestCase) ... OK
