def test_Example(): r"""
Unit tests for the `Example` class.
Example is a simple container class that holds:
- `source`: A source string.
- `want`: An expected output string.
- `exc_msg`: An expected exception message string (or None if no
exception is expected).
- `lineno`: A line number (within the docstring).
- `indent`: The example's indentation in the input string.
- `options`: An option dictionary, mapping option flags to True or
False.
These attributes are set by the constructor. `source` and `want` are
required; the other attributes all have default values:
>>> example = doctest.Example('print(1)', '1\n')
>>> (example.source, example.want, example.exc_msg,
... example.lineno, example.indent, example.options)
('print(1)\n', '1\n', None, 0, 0, {})
The first three attributes (`source`, `want`, and `exc_msg`) may be
specified positionally; the remaining arguments should be specified as
keyword arguments:
>>> exc_msg = 'IndexError: pop from an empty list'
>>> example = doctest.Example('[].pop()', '', exc_msg,
... lineno=5, indent=4,
... options={doctest.ELLIPSIS: True})
>>> (example.source, example.want, example.exc_msg,
... example.lineno, example.indent, example.options)
('[].pop()\n', '', 'IndexError: pop from an empty list\n', 5, 4, {8: True})
The constructor normalizes the `source` string to end in a newline:
Source spans a single line: no terminating newline.
>>> e = doctest.Example('print(1)', '1\n')
>>> e.source, e.want
('print(1)\n', '1\n')
>>> e = doctest.Example('print(1)\n', '1\n')
>>> e.source, e.want
('print(1)\n', '1\n')
Source spans multiple lines: require terminating newline.
>>> e = doctest.Example('print(1);\nprint(2)\n', '1\n2\n')
>>> e.source, e.want
('print(1);\nprint(2)\n', '1\n2\n')
>>> e = doctest.Example('print(1);\nprint(2)', '1\n2\n')
>>> e.source, e.want
('print(1);\nprint(2)\n', '1\n2\n')
Empty source string (which should never appear in real examples)
>>> e = doctest.Example('', '')
>>> e.source, e.want
('\n', '')
The constructor normalizes the `want` string to end in a newline,
unless it's the empty string:
>>> e = doctest.Example('print(1)', '1\n')
>>> e.source, e.want
('print(1)\n', '1\n')
>>> e = doctest.Example('print(1)', '1')
>>> e.source, e.want
('print(1)\n', '1\n')
>>> e = doctest.Example('print', '')
>>> e.source, e.want
('print\n', '')
The constructor normalizes the `exc_msg` string to end in a newline,
unless it's `None`:
Message spans one line
>>> exc_msg = 'IndexError: pop from an empty list'
>>> e = doctest.Example('[].pop()', '', exc_msg)
>>> e.exc_msg
'IndexError: pop from an empty list\n'
>>> exc_msg = 'IndexError: pop from an empty list\n'
>>> e = doctest.Example('[].pop()', '', exc_msg)
>>> e.exc_msg
'IndexError: pop from an empty list\n'
Message spans multiple lines
>>> exc_msg = 'ValueError: 1\n 2'
>>> e = doctest.Example('raise ValueError("1\n 2")', '', exc_msg)
>>> e.exc_msg
'ValueError: 1\n 2\n'
>>> exc_msg = 'ValueError: 1\n 2\n'
>>> e = doctest.Example('raise ValueError("1\n 2")', '', exc_msg)
>>> e.exc_msg
'ValueError: 1\n 2\n'
Empty (but non-None) exception message (which should never appear
in real examples)
>>> exc_msg = ''
>>> e = doctest.Example('raise X()', '', exc_msg)
>>> e.exc_msg
'\n'
Compare `Example`:
>>> example = doctest.Example('print 1', '1\n')
>>> same_example = doctest.Example('print 1', '1\n')
>>> other_example = doctest.Example('print 42', '42\n')

"""
def test_DocTest(): r"""
Unit tests for the `DocTest` class.
DocTest is a collection of examples, extracted from a docstring, along
with information about where the docstring comes from (a name,
filename, and line number). The docstring is parsed by the `DocTest`
constructor:
>>> docstring = '''
... >>> print(12)
... 12
...
... Non-example text.
...
... >>> print('another\example')
... another
... example
... '''
>>> globs = {} # globals to run the test in.

>>> e1, e2 = test.examples
>>> (e1.source, e1.want, e1.lineno)
('print(12)\n', '12\n', 1)
>>> (e2.source, e2.want, e2.lineno)
("print('another\\example')\n", 'another\nexample\n', 6)
Source information (name, filename, and line number) is available as
attributes on the doctest object:
>>> (test.name, test.filename, test.lineno)
('some_test', 'some_file', 20)
The line number of an example within its containing file is found by
adding the line number of the example and the line number of its
containing test:
>>> test.lineno + e1.lineno
21
>>> test.lineno + e2.lineno
26
If the docstring contains inconsistant leading whitespace in the
expected output of an example, then `DocTest` will raise a ValueError:
>>> docstring = r'''
... >>> print('bad\nindentation')
... bad

"""
def test_DocTestFinder(): r"""
Unit tests for the `DocTestFinder` class.
DocTestFinder is used to extract DocTests from an object's docstring
and the docstrings of its contained objects. It can be used with
modules, functions, classes, methods, staticmethods, classmethods, and
properties.
Finding Tests in Functions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a function whose docstring contains examples, DocTestFinder.find()
will return a single test (for that function's docstring):
>>> finder = doctest.DocTestFinder()
We'll simulate a __file__ attr that ends in pyc:
>>> import test.test_doctest
>>> old = test.test_doctest.__file__
>>> test.test_doctest.__file__ = 'test_doctest.pyc'
>>> tests = finder.find(sample_func)
>>> print(tests) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[<DocTest sample_func from ...:17 (1 example)>]
The exact name depends on how test_doctest was invoked, so allow for
leading path components.
>>> tests[0].filename # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
'...test_doctest.py'
>>> test.test_doctest.__file__ = old
>>> e = tests[0].examples[0]
>>> (e.source, e.want, e.lineno)
('print(sample_func(22))\n', '44\n', 3)
By default, tests are created for objects with no docstring:
>>> def no_docstring(v):
... pass
>>> finder.find(no_docstring)
[]
However, the optional argument `exclude_empty` to the DocTestFinder
constructor can be used to exclude tests for objects with empty
docstrings:
>>> def no_docstring(v):
... pass
>>> excl_empty_finder = doctest.DocTestFinder(exclude_empty=True)
>>> excl_empty_finder.find(no_docstring)
[]
If the function has a docstring with no examples, then a test with no
examples is returned. (This lets `DocTestRunner` collect statistics
about which functions have no tests -- but is that useful? And should
an empty test also be created when there's no docstring?)
>>> def no_examples(v):
... ''' no doctest examples '''
>>> finder.find(no_examples) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[<DocTest no_examples from ...:1 (no examples)>]
Finding Tests in Classes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a class, DocTestFinder will create a test for the class's
docstring, and will recursively explore its contents, including
methods, classmethods, staticmethods, properties, and nested classes.
>>> finder = doctest.DocTestFinder()
>>> tests = finder.find(SampleClass)
>>> for t in tests:
... print('%2s %s' % (len(t.examples), t.name))
3 SampleClass
3 SampleClass.NestedClass
1 SampleClass.NestedClass.__init__
1 SampleClass.__init__
2 SampleClass.a_classmethod
1 SampleClass.a_property
1 SampleClass.a_staticmethod
1 SampleClass.double
1 SampleClass.get
New-style classes are also supported:
>>> tests = finder.find(SampleNewStyleClass)
>>> for t in tests:
... print('%2s %s' % (len(t.examples), t.name))
1 SampleNewStyleClass
1 SampleNewStyleClass.__init__
1 SampleNewStyleClass.double
1 SampleNewStyleClass.get
Finding Tests in Modules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a module, DocTestFinder will create a test for the class's
docstring, and will recursively explore its contents, including
functions, classes, and the `__test__` dictionary, if it exists:
>>> # A module
>>> import types
>>> m = types.ModuleType('some_module')
>>> def triple(val):
... '''
... >>> print(triple(11))
... 33
... '''
... return val*3
>>> m.__dict__.update({
... 'sample_func': sample_func,
... 'SampleClass': SampleClass,
... '__doc__': '''
... Module docstring.
... >>> print('module')
... module
... ''',
... '__test__': {
... 'd': '>>> print(6)\n6\n>>> print(7)\n7\n',
... 'c': triple}})
>>> finder = doctest.DocTestFinder()
>>> # Use module=test.test_doctest, to prevent doctest from
>>> # ignoring the objects since they weren't defined in m.
>>> import test.test_doctest
>>> tests = finder.find(m, module=test.test_doctest)
>>> for t in tests:
... print('%2s %s' % (len(t.examples), t.name))
1 some_module
3 some_module.SampleClass
3 some_module.SampleClass.NestedClass
1 some_module.SampleClass.NestedClass.__init__
1 some_module.SampleClass.__init__
2 some_module.SampleClass.a_classmethod
1 some_module.SampleClass.a_property
1 some_module.SampleClass.a_staticmethod
1 some_module.SampleClass.double
1 some_module.SampleClass.get
1 some_module.__test__.c
2 some_module.__test__.d
1 some_module.sample_func
Duplicate Removal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a single object is listed twice (under different names), then tests
will only be generated for it once:
>>> from test import doctest_aliases
>>> assert doctest_aliases.TwoNames.f
>>> assert doctest_aliases.TwoNames.g
>>> tests = excl_empty_finder.find(doctest_aliases)
>>> print(len(tests))
2
>>> print(tests[0].name)
test.doctest_aliases.TwoNames
TwoNames.f and TwoNames.g are bound to the same object.
We can't guess which will be found in doctest's traversal of
TwoNames.__dict__ first, so we have to allow for either.
>>> tests[1].name.split('.')[-1] in ['f', 'g']
True
Empty Tests
~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, an object with no doctests doesn't create any tests:
>>> tests = doctest.DocTestFinder().find(SampleClass)
>>> for t in tests:
... print('%2s %s' % (len(t.examples), t.name))
3 SampleClass
3 SampleClass.NestedClass
1 SampleClass.NestedClass.__init__
1 SampleClass.__init__
2 SampleClass.a_classmethod
1 SampleClass.a_property
1 SampleClass.a_staticmethod
1 SampleClass.double
1 SampleClass.get
By default, that excluded objects with no doctests. exclude_empty=False
tells it to include (empty) tests for objects with no doctests. This feature
is really to support backward compatibility in what doctest.master.summarize()
displays.
>>> tests = doctest.DocTestFinder(exclude_empty=False).find(SampleClass)
>>> for t in tests:
... print('%2s %s' % (len(t.examples), t.name))
3 SampleClass
3 SampleClass.NestedClass
1 SampleClass.NestedClass.__init__
0 SampleClass.NestedClass.get
0 SampleClass.NestedClass.square
1 SampleClass.__init__
2 SampleClass.a_classmethod
1 SampleClass.a_property
1 SampleClass.a_staticmethod
1 SampleClass.double
1 SampleClass.get
Turning off Recursion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DocTestFinder can be told not to look for tests in contained objects
using the `recurse` flag:
>>> tests = doctest.DocTestFinder(recurse=False).find(SampleClass)
>>> for t in tests:
... print('%2s %s' % (len(t.examples), t.name))
3 SampleClass
Line numbers
~~~~~~~~~~~~
DocTestFinder finds the line number of each example:
>>> def f(x):
... '''
... >>> x = 12
...
... some text
...
... >>> # examples are not created for comments & bare prompts.
... >>>
... ...
...
... >>> for x in range(10):
... ... print(x, end=' ')
... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
... >>> x//2
... 6
... '''
>>> test = doctest.DocTestFinder().find(f)[0]
>>> [e.lineno for e in test.examples]
[1, 9, 12]
"""
def test_DocTestParser(): r"""
Unit tests for the `DocTestParser` class.
DocTestParser is used to parse docstrings containing doctest examples.
The `parse` method divides a docstring into examples and intervening
text:
>>> s = '''
... >>> x, y = 2, 3 # no output expected
... >>> if 1:
... ... print(x)
... ... print(y)
... 2

Text: '\nSome text.\n'
Example: ('x+y\n', '5\n', 9)

('x, y = 2, 3 # no output expected\n', '', 1)
('if 1:\n print(x)\n print(y)\n', '2\n3\n', 2)
('x+y\n', '5\n', 9)
The `get_doctest` method creates a Test from the examples, along with the
given arguments:
>>> test = parser.get_doctest(s, {}, 'name', 'filename', lineno=5)
>>> (test.name, test.filename, test.lineno)
('name', 'filename', 5)
>>> for piece in test.examples:

class test_DocTestRunner:
def basics(): r"""
Unit tests for the `DocTestRunner` class.
DocTestRunner is used to run DocTest test cases, and to accumulate

... >>> x = 12
... >>> print(x)
... 12
... >>> x//2
... 6

>>> test = doctest.DocTestFinder().find(f)[0]
The main DocTestRunner interface is the `run` method, which runs a
given DocTest case in a given namespace (globs). It returns a tuple
`(f,t)`, where `f` is the number of failed tests and `t` is the number
of tried tests.
>>> doctest.DocTestRunner(verbose=False).run(test)

IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL also ignores difference in exception formatting
between Python versions. For example, in Python 2.x, the module path of
the exception is not in the output, but this will fail under Python 3:

still pass if IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL is given. This is intentional, so it can
be used when exceptions have changed module.

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
The ELLIPSIS flag causes ellipsis marker ("...") in the expected

The SKIP flag causes an example to be skipped entirely. I.e., the
example is not run. It can be useful in contexts where doctest
examples serve as both documentation and test cases, and an example
should be included for documentation purposes, but should not be
checked (e.g., because its output is random, or depends on resources
which would be unavailable.) The SKIP flag can also be used for
'commenting out' broken examples.

capture program output. It also temporarily replaces pdb.set_trace
with a version that restores stdout. This is necessary for you to
see debugger output.
>>> doc = '''
... >>> x = 42
... >>> raise Exception('clé')
... Traceback (most recent call last):
... Exception: clé
... >>> import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
... '''
>>> parser = doctest.DocTestParser()
>>> test = parser.get_doctest(doc, {}, "foo-bar@baz", "foo-bar@baz.py", 0)
>>> runner = doctest.DocTestRunner(verbose=False)
To demonstrate this, we'll create a fake standard input that
captures our debugger input:
>>> import tempfile
>>> real_stdin = sys.stdin
>>> sys.stdin = _FakeInput([
... 'print(x)', # print data defined by the example
... 'continue', # stop debugging
... ''])
>>> try: runner.run(test)

-> import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
(Pdb) print(x)
42
(Pdb) continue
TestResults(failed=0, attempted=3)
You can also put pdb.set_trace in a function called from a test:
>>> def calls_set_trace():
... y=2
... import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
>>> doc = '''
... >>> x=1
... >>> calls_set_trace()
... '''
>>> test = parser.get_doctest(doc, globals(), "foo-bar@baz", "foo-bar@baz.py", 0)
>>> real_stdin = sys.stdin
>>> sys.stdin = _FakeInput([
... 'print(y)', # print data defined in the function
... 'up', # out of function
... 'print(x)', # print data defined by the example
... 'continue', # stop debugging
... ''])
>>> try:
... runner.run(test)
... finally:
... sys.stdin = real_stdin
--Return--

-> calls_set_trace()
(Pdb) print(x)

(Pdb) continue
TestResults(failed=0, attempted=2)

def test_DocTestSuite():
"""DocTestSuite creates a unittest test suite from a doctest.
We create a Suite by providing a module. A module can be provided
by passing a module object:
>>> import unittest
>>> import test.sample_doctest
>>> suite = doctest.DocTestSuite(test.sample_doctest)
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=4>
We can also supply the module by name:
>>> suite = doctest.DocTestSuite('test.sample_doctest')
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=4>
We can use the current module:
>>> suite = test.sample_doctest.test_suite()
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=4>
We can supply global variables. If we pass globs, they will be
used instead of the module globals. Here we'll pass an empty
globals, triggering an extra error:
>>> suite = doctest.DocTestSuite('test.sample_doctest', globs={})
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=5>
Alternatively, we can provide extra globals. Here we'll make an
error go away by providing an extra global variable:
>>> suite = doctest.DocTestSuite('test.sample_doctest',
... extraglobs={'y': 1})
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=3>
You can pass option flags. Here we'll cause an extra error
by disabling the blank-line feature:
>>> suite = doctest.DocTestSuite('test.sample_doctest',
... optionflags=doctest.DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE)
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=5>
You can supply setUp and tearDown functions:
>>> def setUp(t):
... import test.test_doctest
... test.test_doctest.sillySetup = True
>>> def tearDown(t):
... import test.test_doctest
... del test.test_doctest.sillySetup
Here, we installed a silly variable that the test expects:
>>> suite = doctest.DocTestSuite('test.sample_doctest',
... setUp=setUp, tearDown=tearDown)
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=3>
But the tearDown restores sanity:
>>> import test.test_doctest
>>> test.test_doctest.sillySetup
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'sillySetup'
The setUp and tearDown funtions are passed test objects. Here
we'll use the setUp function to supply the missing variable y:
>>> def setUp(test):
... test.globs['y'] = 1
>>> suite = doctest.DocTestSuite('test.sample_doctest', setUp=setUp)
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=9 errors=0 failures=3>
Here, we didn't need to use a tearDown function because we
modified the test globals, which are a copy of the
sample_doctest module dictionary. The test globals are
automatically cleared for us after a test.
"""
def test_DocFileSuite():
"""We can test tests found in text files using a DocFileSuite.
We create a suite by providing the names of one or more text
files that include examples:
>>> import unittest
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('test_doctest.txt',
... 'test_doctest2.txt',
... 'test_doctest4.txt')
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=3 errors=0 failures=2>
The test files are looked for in the directory containing the
calling module. A package keyword argument can be provided to
specify a different relative location.
>>> import unittest
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('test_doctest.txt',
... 'test_doctest2.txt',
... 'test_doctest4.txt',

Support for using a package's __loader__.get_data() is also
provided.

... test.__loader__ = pkgutil.get_loader(test)
... added_loader = True

... suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
... finally:
... if added_loader:

<unittest.result.TestResult run=3 errors=0 failures=2>
'/' should be used as a path separator. It will be converted
to a native separator at run time:
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('../test/test_doctest.txt')
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=1 errors=0 failures=1>
If DocFileSuite is used from an interactive session, then files
are resolved relative to the directory of sys.argv[0]:
>>> import types, os.path, test.test_doctest
>>> save_argv = sys.argv
>>> sys.argv = [test.test_doctest.__file__]
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('test_doctest.txt',
... package=types.ModuleType('__main__'))
>>> sys.argv = save_argv
By setting `module_relative=False`, os-specific paths may be
used (including absolute paths and paths relative to the
working directory):
>>> # Get the absolute path of the test package.
>>> test_doctest_path = os.path.abspath(test.test_doctest.__file__)
>>> test_pkg_path = os.path.split(test_doctest_path)[0]
>>> # Use it to find the absolute path of test_doctest.txt.
>>> test_file = os.path.join(test_pkg_path, 'test_doctest.txt')
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite(test_file, module_relative=False)
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=1 errors=0 failures=1>
It is an error to specify `package` when `module_relative=False`:
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite(test_file, module_relative=False,
... package='test')
Traceback (most recent call last):
ValueError: Package may only be specified for module-relative paths.
You can specify initial global variables:
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('test_doctest.txt',
... 'test_doctest2.txt',
... 'test_doctest4.txt',
... globs={'favorite_color': 'blue'})
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=3 errors=0 failures=1>
In this case, we supplied a missing favorite color. You can
provide doctest options:
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('test_doctest.txt',

... 'test_doctest4.txt',
... optionflags=doctest.DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE,
... globs={'favorite_color': 'blue'})
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=3 errors=0 failures=2>
And, you can provide setUp and tearDown functions:
>>> def setUp(t):
... import test.test_doctest
... test.test_doctest.sillySetup = True
>>> def tearDown(t):
... import test.test_doctest
... del test.test_doctest.sillySetup

>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=3 errors=0 failures=1>

>>> import test.test_doctest
>>> test.test_doctest.sillySetup
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'sillySetup'
The setUp and tearDown funtions are passed test objects.
Here, we'll use a setUp function to set the favorite color in
test_doctest.txt:

>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('test_doctest.txt', setUp=setUp)
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=1 errors=0 failures=0>
Here, we didn't need to use a tearDown function because we
modified the test globals. The test globals are
automatically cleared for us after a test.
Tests in a file run using `DocFileSuite` can also access the
`__file__` global, which is set to the name of the file
containing the tests:
>>> suite = doctest.DocFileSuite('test_doctest3.txt')
>>> suite.run(unittest.TestResult())
<unittest.result.TestResult run=1 errors=0 failures=0>
If the tests contain non-ASCII characters, we have to specify which
encoding the file is encoded with. We do so by using the `encoding`
