Improved unittest test runner

autocheck
=========

Run Python unittests automatically. Re-run tests when source has
changed. Try to make intelligent decisions about which tests to run.


Example
-------

In project directory with unittests::

    $ autocheck discover -v

Accepts the same options as ``python -m unittest``.


Installation
------------

::

    $ pip install autocheck

Optionally, for Growl support::

    $ pip install gntp

Install ``watchdog`` kernel support according to
https://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/installation.html.


Django support
--------------

Tell django to use our test runner, in ``settings``::

    TEST_RUNNER = 'autocheck.contrib.django.TestSuiteRunner'

Or on the command line::

    ./manage.py test --testrunner=autocheck.contrib.django.TestSuiteRunner

Run tests automatically whenever source has changed::

    $ autocheck

``autocheck`` tries to figure out if it runs in a django project
(``./manage.py`` exists, contains ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE``, ``django``
is importable). Additionally, if a file ``test_settings.py`` exists,
``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=test_settings`` is added to the environment.

Behind the scenes, there are two test runners for django, selected
during import of ``autocheck.contrib.django.TestSuiteRunner``:

-  ``autocheck.contrib.django.discoveryrunner.TestSuiteRunner`` for
   recent versions of django (>=1.6)

-  ``autocheck.contrib.django.testsuiterunner.TestSuiteRunner`` for
   older versions (<1.6)

The latter is not compatible with the old ``./manage.py test`` command,
instead it tries to reproduce the interface of ``python -m unittest``.

The other one is a thin wrapper around django's ``DiscoverRunner``,
adding a few command line switches for our custom ``TestRunner``.


Statistics
----------

Dump the test database with::

    $ autocheck --stats

Or for flat output with::

    $ autocheck --stats-flat


Tests
-----

|Build Status|

Run in project directory::

    $ python setup.py test

Run tests using our own test runner::

    $ pip install -e .
    $ pip install -r requirements/test.txt
    $ python -m autocheck discover -v --once -s ./vows -t .

Tested against Python-2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, PyPy 2 and 3.


TODO
----

-  make ``autocheck.autorunner`` file pattern configurable
-  config file(s)
-  documentation for tags and tag expressions
-  documentation for autocheck command line flags
-  ``--help`` for autocheck command
