Nosetest / unittest runner for Vows test class
fatuhoku opened this issue · comments
Various Python tools such as PyCharm have integration with well-established unit-test frameworks in Python that can be triggered with a simple key-combination.
PyVows expects its users to only ever use the command line runner provided, and that is all they will get!
Like pyvows and django-pyvows and would like to be able to run them in debug mode in Pycharm. As I understand from above that is not possible?
We do support XUnit output (the output I'm guessing PyCharm understands. That's the same output we use when using Continuous Integration tools.
Just invoke pyvows with "pyvows -x" and that should do it.
Does that help you guys?
A quick check on pycharm makes it look like they build custom code for every framework they support (e.g. unittest, nose, lettuce). That custom support involves custom java to handle configuration (http://goo.gl/GYAyjm) and a custom python script to collect and execute the tests (http://goo.gl/mn8jFL).
I'm going to go ahead and close this since to really solve the problem someone would need to do one of the following:
- make an entirely new project called pycharm-pyvows-plugin (assuming there is a way to add custom frameworks via a plugin in pycharm) or,
- add a new feature request in the pycharm project titled "Add support for pyvows test runner"
