How to achieve TestNG like feature in Python Selenium or add multiple unit test in one test suite? -

suppose have 2 nosetest exampletest1.py , exampletest2.py

 exampletest1.py  class exampletest1(testbase):             """             """          def testexampletest1(self):             -----             -----      if __name__ == "__main__":         import nose         nose.run()  --------------- exampletest2.py class exampletest2(testbase):         """         """          def testexampletest2(self):             -----             -----      if __name__ == "__main__":         import nose         nose.run() 

now want run such hundreds of test files single suite.

i looking testng feature testng.xml below can add test files should run 1 one

 <suite name="suite1">       <test name="exampletest1">         <classes>            <class name="exampletest1" />                   </classes>       </test>         <test name="exampletest2">         <classes>            <class name="exampletest2" />                   </classes>       </test>       </suite>  

in case testng.xml feature not available in python, other alternative create test suites , include python test there? thanks

given there may multiple different reasons why may want construct test suites, i’ll give several options.

just running tests directory

let’s there mytests dir:

mytests/ ├── test_something_else.py └── test_thing.py 

running tests dir easy as

$> nosetests mytests/ 

for example, put smoke, unit, , integration tests different dirs , still able run “all tests”:

$> nosetests functional/ unit/ other/ 

running tests tag

nose has attribute selector plugin. test this:

import unittest  nose.plugins.attrib import attr   class thing1test(unittest.testcase):      @attr(platform=("windows", "linux"))     def test_me(self):         self.assertnotequal(1, 0 - 1)      @attr(platform=("linux", ))     def test_me_also(self):         self.assertfalse(2 == 1) 

you’ll able run tests have particular tag:

$> nosetests -a platform=linux tests/  $> nosetests -a platform=windows tests/ 

running manually constructed test suite

finally, nose.main supports suite argument: if passed, discovery not done. here provide basic example of how manually construct test suite , run nose:

#!/usr/bin/env python  import unittest  import nose   def get_cases():     test_thing import thing1test     return [thing1test]   def get_suite(cases):     suite = unittest.testsuite()     case in cases:         tests = unittest.defaulttestloader.loadtestsfromtestcase(case)         suite.addtests(tests)     return suite   if __name__ == "__main__":     nose.main(suite=get_suite(get_cases())) 

as can see, nose.main gets regular unittest test suite, constructed , returned get_suite. get_cases function test cases of choice “loaded” (in example above case class imported).

if need xml, get_cases may place return case classes modules (imported via __import__ or importlib.import_module) xml file parsed. , near nose.main call use argparse path xml file.
