Answering my own question and cc'ing Vinay in since I was also talking
to him about this...

I'm unit testing something which does some logging. It's supposed to
log, so ideally I'd like to test for that, but I'd also like to not have
the log spew showing during tests runs, which seems to have started
happening in Zope 2.8 :-S
I added the following methods to our TestCase base class and then added
the class below it:
def _stopLogging(self):
import logging
root_logger = logging.getLogger()
self.old_handlers = root_logger.handlers
root_logger.handlers = [DummyLogger()]
def _startLogging(self):
old_handlers = getattr(self,'old_handlers',None)
if old_handlers is not None:
import logging
logging.getLogger().handlers = old_handlers
class DummyLogger:
def handle(self, record):
pass
This can now be used in a unit test as follows:
self._stopLogging()
try:
# stuff that ends up logging stuff
self.assertRaises(AttributeError,self._runStep,'checkExpires')
finally:
checkExpires.DateTime = DateTime
self._startLogging()
Hope this helps someone else :-)
cheers,
Chris
PS: Vinay: lemme know if there's a better way to do this...
