dado
Data-driven test decorator
What
Decorate a test to create indepenent tests for each decorated data set.
Example
Given:
from dado import data_driven
@data_driven(['first', 'second'], {
'letters': ['a', 'b'],
'numbers': [0, 1],
})
def test_first_two(first, second): ...
When you load the module, it will load as if you'd defined:
def test_first_two_letters():
return test_first_two('a', 'b')
def test_first_two_numbers():
return test_first_two(0, 1)
Name
A 'dado' in woodworking is "a groove cut in the face of a board, into which the edge of another board is fixed."
This decorator lets you define a test function into which you fit test data to get the tests you actually want to run.
Plus, 'dado' is much easier to say and remember than 'data-driven-test-decorator', while still keeping some phonetic similarity.
Naming credit goes to soapko :-)
