Question

I have a test suite and I am trying to get it to work with the tests I have created. The test work if I run them individually but I want to run them all in a test suite. The code below show the test suite created:

import unittest

def suite():
    modules_to_test = ('TestAbsoluteMove', 'TestContinuousMove') # and so on
    alltests = unittest.TestSuite()
    for module in map(__import__, modules_to_test):
        alltests.addTest(unittest.findTestCases(module))
    return alltests

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main(defaultTest='suite')

I have placed this code into my test code to link up with the suite:

class AbsoluteMoveTestSuite(unittest.TestSuite):

def makeAbsoluteMoveTestSuite():
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    suite.addTest(TestAbsoluteMove("BasicAbsolutePan"))
    suite.addTest(TestAbsoluteMove("VerifyAbsolutePan"))
    suite.addTest(TestAbsoluteMove("VerifyAbsoluteTilt"))
    suite.addTest(TestAbsoluteMove("VerifyAbsolutePanSpeed"))
    suite.addTest(TestAbsoluteMove("VerifyAbsoluteTiltSpeed"))
    return suite

def suite():
    return unittest.makeSuite(TestAbsoluteMove)

The error that is produced claim that there is no modules named ‘TestAbsoluteMove’ and TestContinuousMove’. Does anyone know how to get this code working?

Thanks

Nose makes this sort of thing a no-brainer. It will auto-detect your tests and run them as a suite. (You can also run specific tests by passing it a flag.)
