handle interrupts caught by workers (not sure how to test this yet)
typ is a simple program for testing command line executables and Python code.
When testing Python code, it is basically a wrapper around the standard unittest module, but it provides the following bits of additional functionality:
* Parallel test execution.
* Clean output in the style of the Ninja build tool.
* A more flexible mechanism for discovering tests from the
command line and controlling how they are run:
* Support for importing tests by directory, filename, or module.
* Support for specifying tests to skip, tests to run in parallel,
and tests that need to be run by themselves
* Support for producing traces of test times compatible with Chrome's
tracing infrastructure (trace_viewer).
* Integrated test coverage reporting.
* Integrated support for debugging tests.
* Support for uploading test results automatically to a server
(useful for continuous integration monitoring of test results).
* An abstraction of operating system functionality called the
Host class. This can be used by other python code to write more
portable and easily testable code by wrapping the multiprocessing,
os, subprocess, and time modules.
* Simple libraries for integrating Ninja-style statistics and line
printing into your own code (the Stats and Printer classes).
* Support for processing arbitrary arguments from calling code to
test cases.
* Support for once-per-process setup and teardown hooks.
(These last two bullet points allow one to write tests that do not
require Python globals).
typ originated out of work on the Blink and Chromium projects, as a way to provide a friendly interface on top of the Python unittest modules.
typ is still a work in progress, but it's getting close to being done. Things remaining for 1.0, roughly in priority order:
