SYNOPSIS
trial [-b] [-v|-o|-j] [--coverage coverdir] [-r reactor] [-l logfile] [-m module [-m module ... ]] [-p package [-p package ... ]] file|module|package|TestCase|testMethod ...
trial --help
DESCRIPTION
trial loads and executes a suite of unit tests, obtained from modules and packages listed on the command line. The --help option prints out a usage message to standard output.
- -s, --summary
-
Print out just a machine-parseable summary of the results.
- -v, --verbose
-
Be more verbose. Without this option, trial prints out a single character for each test. (e.g. An 'F' for a failure, a '.' for a success, a 'S' for skipped test, a 'T' for a todo and '!' for unexpected success). With this option, trial prints a single line for each test. This is especially useful for gauging how long each test takes.
- -o, --bwverbose
-
Be verbose, but do not attempt to use colors (more log-file friendly)
- -j, --jelly
-
Report results in a machine-readable jelly stream.
- --timing
-
Report results with timing information for each test.
- --tbformat <format>
-
Format to display tracebacks with. Valid values are 'plain' and 'emacs', default being 'plain'.
- -m, --module <module>
-
Module containing test cases.
- --testmodule <module>
-
Find the test case for a named file
- -p, --package <package>
-
Package containing modules that contain test cases. trial loads modules named 'test_' within the given package.
- -l, --logfile <logfile>
-
Log exceptions (and other things) to the given logfile.
- -r, --reactor <reactor>
-
Use this reactor for running the tests. The reactor names are the same as those accepted by twistd: c, qt, gtk2, and so on.
- --coverage <coverdir>
-
Generate coverage information in the given directory (relative to _trial_temp). Requires Python 2.3.3.
- -b, --debug
-
Run the tests in the Python debugger. Also does post-mortem debugging on exceptions.
- -R, --recurse
-
Recursively search the specified packages for test modules.
