New submission from Terry J. Reedy: Idle unittests that use tkinter.Text are developed using the gui widget and then switched, to the current extent possible, to mock_tk.Text. I have done this previously by commenting out gui lines and adding new lines, so it would be possible to switch back if needed. test_searchengine is an example. However, switching back would require commenting and uncommenting several lines.
When reviewing test_autoexpand #18292, I realized that everything after the imports from tkinter import Text from idlelib.idle_text.mock_tk import Text can be made conditional on 'tkinter in str(Text)'. The only comment switching needed is for the import lines. This issue is about retrofitting test_searchengine and any other files that need it. ---------- messages: 219663 nosy: sahutd, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Idle unittests: make gui, mock switching easier. type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21647> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
