How to pass variables using Unittest suite
- by chrissygormley
Hello I have test's using unittest. I have a test suite and I am trying to pass variables through into each of the tests. The below code shows the test suite used.
class suite():
def suite(self): #Function stores all the modules to be tested
modules_to_test = ('testmodule1', 'testmodule2')
alltests = unittest.TestSuite()
for module in map(__import__, modules_to_test):
alltests.addTest(unittest.findTestCases(module))
return alltests
It calls tests, I would like to know how to pass variables into the tests from this class. An example test script is below:
class TestThis(unittest.TestCase):
def runTest(self):
assertEqual('1', '1')
class TestThisTestSuite(unittest.TestSuite):
# Tests to be tested by test suite
def makeTestThisTestSuite():
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTest("TestThis")
return suite
def suite():
return unittest.makeSuite(TestThis)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
So from the class suite() I would like to enter in a value to change the value that is in assert value. Eg. assertEqual(self.value, '1'). I have tried sys.argv for unittest and it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for any help.
