I'll change things in the AM.
So far this technique is working incredibly well. It took a few hours to implement, but quickly solved a handful of outstanding bugs. * Some model columns each have their own custom class. * The various create/edit functions have assert statements to ensure the model columns are expected (we run production Python under `-oo`, so `assert` doesn't run) * A first unittest suite ensures the model has certain columns of a certain type * A second unittest suite is testing all the different text transformations to ensure we get the right stuff in the right place. (Some columns allow markdown, others allow html, others are plaintext, etc). This is all in addition to all the unit tests that mock object creation. I needed these tests so slight changes in encoding schemes could be quickly analyzed across dozens of object types. Determining this with functional and integrated tests took minutes to complete the required suites; the new suite runs in a fraction of a second. -- SQLAlchemy - The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example.
