Thank you, howesc. I'll take a close look at your file.
I finally cobbled together a file to unit test an object in my project
that uses the unittest library, Google's memcache and the testbed
library, and a web2py model. I am hoping it will scale up to test
controller actions as well as individual modules.
Included below is the relevant portion of that file. Notice the part
where I had to manually add a path to dev_appserver's yaml library. I
had to do that to import the testbed module.
Here is the command line to run my unit test.
$ cd web2py
$ python web2py.py -S myproj -M -R applications/myproj/test/
test_account.py
------
import sys, unittest
from google.appengine.api import memcache
yaml_path = '~/google_appengine_1.6.3_source/google_appengine/lib/yaml/
lib/'
sys.path.append (yaml_path)
from google.appengine.ext import testbed
from account_list import Account_List
from account import Account
class Test_Account_List (unittest.TestCase):
def setUp (self):
self.testbed = testbed.Testbed()
self.testbed.activate()
self.testbed.init_memcache_stub()
def test_account_list (self):
al1 = Account_List (db)
al1.clear_list (db) # To start from a known state
al2 = Account_List (db)
self.assertIs (al1, al2)
active_list1 = memcache.get ('account_list')
active_list2 = al2.active_accounts(db)
self.assertEqual (active_list1, active_list2)
def tearDown (self):
self.testbed.deactivate()
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest (unittest.makeSuite (Test_Account))
suite.addTest (unittest.makeSuite (Test_Account_List))
unittest.TextTestRunner (verbosity = 2).run (suite)
