Hello
I am creating assignments in runestone, I want to put test cases that read the input data from a file to work in the Python program and compare the output with a test case, can someone recommend me which is the best option?

Hi Alejandro,

You will need to write a question using the ‘datafile’ type.  The unique id you use for the datafile directive is the name to use as the filename in the code/test code.

Thank you very much for your answer.

 

Is it possible if you have an example that you can share with me?

Please check out our Overview book The image processing example shows how to include a binary file.  The assignment page gives you a template if you choose datafile from the menu.  It may not be obvious that the body of a datafile is where you put in the data which you will have to do if you are using the web interface to create a question

.. datafile:: identifier
   :options:

  Data goes here indented to the level of the first : in options.

Dear Brad, thanks a lot for your advice. I’ll check overview book.

I another question, an assignment in is it possible to use test checking input and output files, instead of unittest?

I don’t think I understand your question.  The benefit of using the unittest framework is that it is built into our grading system.  You can make a unit test do anything you can do with Python including checking the contents of files or checking standard output or even inspecting at the code.
