Testing TG2 apps

[Peter]

Hi
I was wondering if the document

http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Testing

still applies to TG2 or if the various changes to TG has induced changes
to the ( nosetests ) testing strategy

Thanks a lot for your comments
Peter

No, it doesn't apply.

There seems no replacement for this page in the current docs (dunno about M.
Pedersens enhancements though).

However, it is based on webtest, which has a bit of docs itself, and you
should have some generated testcases that you can start working with.

I have one example here:
http://lucasmanual.com/mywiki/TurboGears2#TurboGears2.2BAC8-Addressbook.Testing.2BAC8-UnitTest

not sure how much more info do you need.
If you have some sample test cases code, please share...

Thanks,
Lucas

Thanks for the link. In fact what I don't understand ( I am newbie to
Turbogears + SqlAlchemy ) the way model unit testing is set up ( I
don't understand neither your version nor the one generated by the
quickstart tutorials.

in tests/model/__init__.py :

# omitting includes

class ModelTest(object):
"""Base unit test case for the models."""

klass = None
attrs = {}

def setup(self):
try:
new_attrs = {}
new_attrs.update(self.attrs)
new_attrs.update(self.do_get_dependencies())
self.obj = self.klass(**new_attrs)
DBSession.add(self.obj)
DBSession.flush()
return self.obj
except:
DBSession.rollback()
raise


( As far as I understand your solution with the "recall" class is similar )
But how I am supposed to use that ? Lets suppose I want to test my model
class Page (from the wiki20 tut ):

class Page(DeclarativeBase):
__tablename__ = 'pages'

id=Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
pagename=Column(String(30), unique=True)
newcolumn=Column(String(20),unique=False)
data=Column(Text)

def __init__(self, pagename, data):
self.pagename = pagename
self.data = data
