Implements interfaces: twisted.trial.itrial.IReporter

A basic TestResult with support for writing to a stream.

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method startTest Called when a test begins to run. Records the time when it was first called and resets the warning cache.
Method addFailure Called when a test fails. If realtime is set, then it prints the error to the stream.
Method addError Called when a test raises an error. If realtime is set, then it prints the error to the stream.
Method upDownError Deprecated in Twisted 8.0.
Method cleanupErrors Deprecated in Twisted 8.0.
Method done Summarize the result of the test run.
Instance Variable _startTime The time when the first test was started. It defaults to None, which means that no test was actually launched. (type: float or None)
Instance Variable _warningCache A set of tuples of warning message (file, line, text, category) which have already been written to the output stream during the currently executing test. This is used to avoid writing duplicates of the same warning to the output stream. (type: set)
Instance Variable _publisher The log publisher which will be observed for warning events. (type: twisted.python.log.LogPublisher)
Method _observeWarnings Observe warning events and write them to self._stream.
Method _write Safely write to the reporter's stream.
Method _writeln Safely write a line to the reporter's stream. Newline is appended to the format string.
Method _trimFrames Trim frames to remove internal paths.
Method _formatFailureTraceback Undocumented
Method _groupResults Group tests together based on their results.
Method _printResults Print a group of errors to the stream.
Method _printExpectedFailure Undocumented
Method _printUnexpectedSuccess Undocumented
Method _printErrors Print all of the non-success results to the stream in full.
Method _getSummary Return a formatted count of tests status results.
Method _printSummary Print a line summarising the test results to the stream.

Inherited from TestResult:

Instance Variable successes count the number of successes achieved by the test run. (type: int)
Method __repr__ Undocumented
Method stopTest This must be called after the given test is completed.
Method addSkip Report that the given test was skipped.
Method addUnexpectedSuccess Report that the given test succeeded against expectations.
Method addExpectedFailure Report that the given test failed, and was expected to do so.
Method addSuccess Report that the given test succeeded.
Method wasSuccessful Report whether or not this test suite was successful or not.
Method _getTime Undocumented
Method _getFailure Convert a sys.exc_info()-style tuple to a Failure, if necessary.
_startTime =
The time when the first test was started. It defaults to None, which means that no test was actually launched. (type: float or None)
_warningCache =
A set of tuples of warning message (file, line, text, category) which have already been written to the output stream during the currently executing test. This is used to avoid writing duplicates of the same warning to the output stream. (type: set)
_publisher =
The log publisher which will be observed for warning events. (type: twisted.python.log.LogPublisher)
def __init__(self, stream=sys.stdout, tbformat='default', realtime=False, publisher=None): (source)
def _observeWarnings(self, event): (source)

Observe warning events and write them to self._stream.

This method is a log observer which will be registered with self._publisher.addObserver.

ParameterseventA dict from the logging system. If it has a 'warning' key, a logged warning will be extracted from it and possibly written to self.stream.
def startTest(self, test): (source)

Called when a test begins to run. Records the time when it was first called and resets the warning cache.

ParameterstestITestCase
def addFailure(self, test, fail): (source)

Called when a test fails. If realtime is set, then it prints the error to the stream.

ParameterstestITestCase that failed.
failfailure.Failure containing the error.
def addError(self, test, error): (source)

Called when a test raises an error. If realtime is set, then it prints the error to the stream.

ParameterstestITestCase that raised the error.
errorfailure.Failure containing the error.
def _write(self, format, *args): (source)

Safely write to the reporter's stream.

ParametersformatA format string to write.
*argsThe arguments for the format string.
def _writeln(self, format, *args): (source)

Safely write a line to the reporter's stream. Newline is appended to the format string.

ParametersformatA format string to write.
*argsThe arguments for the format string.
def upDownError(self, method, error, warn, printStatus): (source)

Deprecated in Twisted 8.0.

Called when an error occurs in a setUp* or tearDown* method

Parameterswarnindicates whether or not the reporter should emit a warning about the error (type: Boolean)
printStatusindicates whether or not the reporter should print the name of the method and the status message appropriate for the type of error (type: Boolean)
def cleanupErrors(self, errs): (source)

Deprecated in Twisted 8.0.

Called when the reactor has been left in a 'dirty' state

Parameterserrsa list of twisted.python.failure.Failures
def _trimFrames(self, frames): (source)

Trim frames to remove internal paths.

When a SynchronousTestCase method fails synchronously, the stack looks like this:

  • [0]: SynchronousTestCase._run
  • [1]: util.runWithWarningsSuppressed
  • [2:-2]: code in the test method which failed
  • [-1]: _synctest.fail

When a TestCase method fails synchronously, the stack looks like this:

  • [0]: defer.maybeDeferred
  • [1]: utils.runWithWarningsSuppressed
  • [2]: utils.runWithWarningsSuppressed
  • [3:-2]: code in the test method which failed
  • [-1]: _synctest.fail

When a method fails inside a Deferred (i.e., when the test method returns a Deferred, and that Deferred's errback fires), the stack captured inside the resulting Failure looks like this:

  • [0]: defer.Deferred._runCallbacks
  • [1:-2]: code in the testmethod which failed
  • [-1]: _synctest.fail

As a result, we want to trim either [maybeDeferred, runWWS, runWWS] or [Deferred._runCallbacks] or [SynchronousTestCase._run, runWWS] from the front, and trim the [unittest.fail] from the end.

There is also another case, when the test method is badly defined and contains extra arguments.

If it doesn't recognize one of these cases, it just returns the original frames.

ParametersframesThe list of frames from the test failure.
ReturnsThe list of frames to display.
def _formatFailureTraceback(self, fail): (source)
Undocumented
def _groupResults(self, results, formatter): (source)

Group tests together based on their results.

ParametersresultsAn iterable of tuples of two or more elements. The first element of each tuple is a test case. The remaining elements describe the outcome of that test case.
formatterA callable which turns a test case result into a string. The elements after the first of the tuples in results will be passed as positional arguments to formatter.
ReturnsA list of two-tuples. The first element of each tuple is a unique string describing one result from at least one of the test cases in results. The second element is a list of the test cases which had that result.
def _printResults(self, flavor, errors, formatter): (source)

Print a group of errors to the stream.

ParametersflavorA string indicating the kind of error (e.g. 'TODO').
errorsA list of errors, often failure.Failures, but sometimes 'todo' errors.
formatterA callable that knows how to format the errors.
def _printExpectedFailure(self, error, todo): (source)
Undocumented
def _printUnexpectedSuccess(self, todo): (source)
Undocumented
def _printErrors(self): (source)

Print all of the non-success results to the stream in full.

def _getSummary(self): (source)

Return a formatted count of tests status results.

def _printSummary(self): (source)

Print a line summarising the test results to the stream.

def done(self): (source)

Summarize the result of the test run.

The summary includes a report of all of the errors, todos, skips and so forth that occurred during the run. It also includes the number of tests that were run and how long it took to run them (not including load time).

Expects that _printErrors, _writeln, _write, _printSummary and _separator are all implemented.
