doctest output normalization for plugin testing support ======================================================= nose.plugins.plugintest.run() is used for testing nose plugins in doctests, so it needs to normalise nose output to remove information that is not of interest to most plugin tests. We strip stack trace from formatted exceptions, using a regexp copied from ``doctest.py``. That regexp always matches to the end of a string, so we split on blank lines before running the regexp on each resulting block. >>> from nose.plugins.plugintest import blankline_separated_blocks >>> list(blankline_separated_blocks("spam\neggs\n\nfoo\nbar\n\n")) ['spam\neggs\n\n', 'foo\nbar\n\n'] >>> list(blankline_separated_blocks("spam\neggs\n\nfoo\nbar\n")) ['spam\neggs\n\n', 'foo\nbar\n'] >>> list(blankline_separated_blocks("spam\neggs\n\nfoo\nbar")) ['spam\neggs\n\n', 'foo\nbar'] >>> list(blankline_separated_blocks("")) [] >>> list(blankline_separated_blocks("spam")) ['spam'] ``remove_stack_traces`` removes the stack traces, replacing them with an ellipsis. Note the first line here is chosen not to be "Traceback (most recent...", since doctest would interpret that as meaning that the example should raise an exception! >>> from nose.plugins.plugintest import remove_stack_traces >>> print remove_stack_traces("""\ ... Ceci n'est pas une traceback. ... Traceback (most recent call last): ... File "/some/dir/foomodule.py", line 15, in runTest ... File "/some/dir/spam.py", line 293, in who_knows_what ... AssertionError: something bad happened ... """) Ceci n'est pas une traceback. Traceback (most recent call last): ... AssertionError: something bad happened Multiple tracebacks in an example are all replaced, as long as they're separated by blank lines. >>> print remove_stack_traces("""\ ... Ceci n'est pas une traceback. ... Traceback (most recent call last): ... File spam ... AttributeError: eggs ... ... Traceback (most recent call last): ... File eggs ... AttributeError: spam ... """) Ceci n'est pas une traceback. Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: eggs Traceback (most recent call last): ... AttributeError: spam Putting it together, ``munge_nose_output_for_doctest()`` removes stack traces, removes test timings from "Ran n test(s)" output, and strips trailing blank lines. >>> from nose.plugins.plugintest import munge_nose_output_for_doctest >>> print munge_nose_output_for_doctest("""\ ... runTest (foomodule.PassingTest) ... ok ... runTest (foomodule.FailingTest) ...
