- New in version 0.9
- ------------------
- 0.9 Final is here!
- ==================
- nose 0.9 includes a host of new features, as well as numerous
- backwards-incompatible changes to interfaces and implementation.
- Thanks to the many folks who have contributed patches and ideas and made bug
- reports for the development version of 0.9, especially Mika Eloranta, Jay
- Parlar, Kevin Dangoor, Scot Doyle, Titus Brown and Philip J.Eby.
- Here's a quick rundown of what's new in 0.9
- - Plugins
-
- The most important new feature is support for plugins using setuptools
- entrypoints. nose plugins can select and load tests (like the builtin
- doctest plugin), reject tests (like the builtin attrib plugin, contributed
- by Mika Eloranta, that allows users to select tests by attribute),
- watch and report on tests (like the builtin coverage and profiler plugins),
- completely replace test result output (like the html result plugin in the
- examples directory) or any combination of the above. Writing plugins is
- simple: subclass nose.plugins.Plugin and implement any of the methods in
- nose.plugins.IPluginInterface.
- - Better compatibility with unittest
- Test loading has been consolidated into a test loader class that is drop-in
- compatible with unittest.TestLoader. Likewise test result output, including
- output capture, assert introspection, and support for skipped and deprecated
- tests, in nose.result.TextTestResult. If you want those features and not the
- rest of nose, you can use just those classes. nose.main() has also been
- rewritten to have the same signature as unittest.main().
- - Better command line interface
- Command line test selection is more intuitive and powerful, enabling easy
- and correct running of single tests while ensuring that fixtures (setup and
- teardown) are correctly executed at all levels. No more -f -m or -o options:
- now simply specify the tests to run::
- nosetests this/file.py that.module
- Tests may be specified down to the callable::
- nosetests this/file.py:TestClass that.module:this_test
- nosetests that.module:TestClass.test_method
- There are also new options for dropping into pdb on errors or failures, and
- stopping the test run on the first error or failure (thanks to Kevin Dangoor
- for the idea).
-
- - More!
- Helpful test decorators and functions in nose.tools. Support for generators
- in test classes. Better import path handling -- that you can shut off!
- Detailed verbose logging using the logging package. And more...
