I was discussing data driven tests with a colleague and how easy it to create in python just with nose test framework.
The file looks like:
I created a repository and shared with him following is current content of the Readme:
https://github.com/mubbashir/py_nosetest_data_driven
The file looks like:
def test_dirs():
for data in test_data():
yield check_dir, data[0], data[1]
def check_dir(dir_ref, dir_new_gen):
assert len(dir_ref) > 1
assert len(dir_new_gen) > 1
def test_data():
return [["dir1_ref", "dir1_gen"], ["dir2_ref", "dir2_gen"]]I created a repository and shared with him following is current content of the Readme:
https://github.com/mubbashir/py_nosetest_data_driven
One file example to run data driven tests using python and nose tests with XML and HTML reports
