See bug #520044. + + * Fix a bug in our built-in matchers where assertThat would blow up if any + of them failed. All built-in mismatch objects now provide get_details(). + + * New 'Is' matcher, which lets you assert that a thing is identical to + another thing. + + * New 'LessThan' matcher which lets you assert that a thing is less than + another thing. + + * TestCase now has a 'patch()' method to make it easier to monkey-patching + objects in tests. See the manual for more information. Fixes bug #310770. + + * MultiTestResult methods now pass back return values from the results it + forwards to. + +0.9.5 +~~~~~ + +This release fixes some obscure traceback formatting issues that probably +weren't affecting you but were certainly breaking our own test suite. + +Changes +------- + +* Jamu Kakar has updated classes in testtools.matchers and testtools.runtest + to be new-style classes, fixing bug #611273. + +Improvements +------------ + +* Martin[gz] fixed traceback handling to handle cases where extract_tb returns + a source line of None. Fixes bug #611307. + +* Martin[gz] fixed an unicode issue that was causing the tests to fail, + closing bug #604187. + +* testtools now handles string exceptions (although why would you want to use + them?) and formats their tracebacks correctly. Thanks to Martin[gz] for + fixing bug #592262. + +0.9.4 +~~~~~ + +This release overhauls the traceback formatting layer to deal with Python 2 +line numbers and traceback objects often being local user encoded strings +rather than unicode objects. Test discovery has also been added and Python 3.1 +is also supported. Finally, the Mismatch protocol has been extended to let +Matchers collaborate with tests in supplying detailed data about failures. + +Changes +------- + +* testtools.utils has been renamed to testtools.compat. Importing + testtools.utils will now generate a deprecation warning. + +Improvements +------------ + +* Add machinery for Python 2 to create unicode tracebacks like those used by + Python 3. This means testtools no longer throws on encountering non-ascii + filenames, source lines, or exception strings when displaying test results. + Largely contributed by Martin[gz] with some tweaks from Robert Collins. + +* James Westby has supplied test discovery support using the Python 2.7 + TestRunner in testtools.run. This requires the 'discover' module. This + closes bug #250764. + +* Python 3.1 is now supported, thanks to Martin[gz] for a partial patch. + This fixes bug #592375. + +* TestCase.addCleanup has had its docstring corrected about when cleanups run. + +* TestCase.skip is now deprecated in favour of TestCase.skipTest, which is the + Python2.7 spelling for skip. This closes bug #560436. + +* Tests work on IronPython patch from Martin[gz] applied. + +* Thanks to a patch from James Westby testtools.matchers.Mismatch can now + supply a get_details method, which assertThat will query to provide + additional attachments. This can be used to provide additional detail + about the mismatch that doesn't suite being included in describe(). For + instance, if the match process was complex, a log of the process could be + included, permitting debugging. + +* testtools.testresults.real._StringException will now answer __str__ if its + value is unicode by encoding with UTF8, and vice versa to answer __unicode__. + This permits subunit decoded exceptions to contain unicode and still format + correctly. + +0.9.3 +~~~~~ + +More matchers, Python 2.4 support, faster test cloning by switching to copy +rather than deepcopy and better output when exceptions occur in cleanups are +the defining characteristics of this release. + Improvements ------------ @@ -34,6 +155,11 @@ Improvements * The backtrace test result output tests should now pass on windows and other systems where os.sep is not '/'. +* When a cleanUp or tearDown exception occurs, it is now accumulated as a new + traceback in the test details, rather than as a separate call to addError / + addException. This makes testtools work better with most TestResult objects + and fixes bug #335816. + 0.9.2 ~~~~~ |
