Python Unit Tests#

Test case - class that contains tests and other methods

import unittest
import moves
class MoveTests(unittest.TestCase)
def test_five_plus_five(self):
assert 5 + 5 == 10
def test_one_plus_one(self):
assert not 1 + 1 == 3
Running a unit test#
python -m unittest tests.py
Make tests run without needing to specify module#
Add to the bottom of the file:
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
It checks if we run the file directly then run with unittest
Structuring your tests#
If your folder tests/ and module/ is in a package/ folder. Then you can cd package/ and run:
python -m unittest discover -s tests/
