Module testoob.testing

Useful testing fuctions.

Exceptions
`TestoobAssertionError`

Function Summary
	`assert_equals(expected, actual, msg, filter)` works like unittest.TestCase.assertEquals
	`assert_matches(regex, actual, msg, filter)` fail unless regex matches actual (using re.search)
	`assert_raises(exception_class, callable, args, *kwargs)` Assert that a callable raises an exception, similar to unittest.py's assertRaises.
	`assert_true(condition, msg)`
	`command_line(args, input, expected_output, expected_error, expected_output_regex, expected_error_regex, expected_rc, rc_predicate, skip_check)`
	`skip(reason)` Skip this test
	`_call_signature(callable, args, *kwargs)` Generate a human-friendly call signature
	`_normalize_newlines(string)`
	`_run_command(args, input)` _run_command(args, input=None) -> stdoutstring, stderrstring, returncode Runs the command, giving the input if any.

Variable Summary
`int`	`__unittest` = 1

Function Details

assert_equals(expected, actual, msg=None, filter=None)

works like unittest.TestCase.assertEquals

assert_matches(regex, actual, msg=None, filter=None)

fail unless regex matches actual (using re.search)

assert_raises(exception_class, callable, *args, **kwargs)

Assert that a callable raises an exception, similar to unittest.py's assertRaises.

Takes more ideas and code from recipe http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/307970

command_line(args, input=None, expected_output=None, expected_error=None, expected_output_regex=None, expected_error_regex=None, expected_rc=None, rc_predicate=None, skip_check=None)

Parameters:: skip_check - a callable that will be called with 3 parameters - output, error, and rc - before any asserts are made. If it doesn't return None, the test will skip and the callable's return value will be used as the skip reason.

skip(reason='No reason given')

_call_signature(callable, *args, **kwargs)

Generate a human-friendly call signature

From recipe http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/307970

_run_command(args, input=None)

_run_command(args, input=None) -> stdoutstring, stderrstring, returncode Runs the command, giving the input if any. The command is specified as a list: 'ls -l' would be sent as ['ls', '-l']. Returns the standard output and error as strings, and the return code
