unittest docs suggest the following "load_tests" for a __main__.py:
def load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern):
# top level directory cached on loader instance
this_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
package_tests = loader.discover(start_dir=this_dir, pattern=pattern)
standard_tests.addTests(package_tests)
return standard_tests
This function fails with a weird error message when no pattern is given on the command line. A better alternative would be:
def load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern):
# top level directory cached on loader instance
this_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
pattern = pattern or "test_*.py"
package_tests = loader.discover(start_dir=this_dir, pattern=pattern)
standard_tests.addTests(package_tests)
return standard_tests

Yes the version of load_tests you show is better. However there is an outstanding issue to fix the load_tests protocol to work with pattern=None which is a better fix. (I think this is a bug in load_tests rather than a doc issue really.) Issue 11218. |
