unittest is ...

Okay, the python unittest module is awesome, but the titles are getting repetitive. This little script will make running your unit tests even easier:

test.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import unittest
import sys

for module in sys.argv[1:]:
    done = False
    while not done and module != "": 
        try:
            exec('import ' + module)
            done = True
        except Exception:
            module = module.rpartition('.')[0]
        

unittest.main()

This will allow you to run any unit tests in any module from the command line.


test.py mypackage.test yourpackage.test
test.py mypackage.test.TestXYZ.testRun
