============ Adding Tests ============ We will now add tests for the models and the views and a few functional tests in the ``tests.py``. Tests ensure that an application works, and that it continues to work after some changes are made in the future. Test the Models =============== We write tests for the model classes and the appmaker. Changing ``tests.py``, we'll write a separate test class for each model class, and we'll write a test class for the ``appmaker``. To do so, we'll retain the ``tutorial.tests.ViewTests`` class that was generated as part of the ``zodb`` scaffold. We'll add three test classes: one for the ``Page`` model named ``PageModelTests``, one for the ``Wiki`` model named ``WikiModelTests``, and one for the appmaker named ``AppmakerTests``. Test the Views ============== We'll modify our ``tests.py`` file, adding tests for each view function we added above. As a result, we'll *delete* the ``ViewTests`` test in the file, and add four other test classes: ``ViewWikiTests``, ``ViewPageTests``, ``AddPageTests``, and ``EditPageTests``. These test the ``view_wiki``, ``view_page``, ``add_page``, and ``edit_page`` views respectively. Functional tests ================ We test the whole application, covering security aspects that are not tested in the unit tests, like logging in, logging out, checking that the ``viewer`` user cannot add or edit pages, but the ``editor`` user can, and so on. View the results of all our edits to ``tests.py`` ================================================= Once we're done with the ``tests.py`` module, it will look a lot like the below: .. literalinclude:: src/tests/tutorial/tests.py :linenos: :language: python Running the Tests ================= We can run these tests by using ``setup.py test`` in the same way we did in :ref:`running_tests`. However, first we must edit our ``setup.py`` to include a dependency on WebTest, which we've used in our ``tests.py``. Change the ``requires`` list in ``setup.py`` to include ``WebTest``. .. literalinclude:: src/tests/setup.py :linenos: :language: python :lines: 9-19 :emphasize-lines: 10 After we've added a dependency on WebTest in ``setup.py``, we need to rerun ``setup.py develop`` to get WebTest installed into our virtualenv. Assuming our shell's current working directory is the "tutorial" distribution directory: On UNIX: .. code-block:: text $ ../bin/python setup.py develop On Windows: .. code-block:: text c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> ..\Scripts\python setup.py develop Once that command has completed successfully, we can run the tests themselves: On UNIX: .. code-block:: text $ ../bin/python setup.py test -q On Windows: .. code-block:: text c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> ..\Scripts\python setup.py test -q The expected result looks something like: .. code-block:: text ......... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 23 tests in 1.653s OK
