Options

The options you can set in the recipes section in your buildout.cfg.

eggs

A list of packages that should be tested. Defaults to the eggs of the [test] part, if available. Tests of these packages and all their dependencies will be run.

test-script

The file system location of a zc.recipe.testrunner test runner, which needs to be configured correctly to run all tests for all specified eggs. Defaults to bin/test.

exclude

A list of eggs which should be excluded from the test runs. The values are interpreted as Python regular expressions.

groups

A buildout section containing a mapping of group names to package names.

package-map

An buildout section containing a mapping of distribution names to package names.

Scripts

This recipe create one script named after the recipe section.

All options are optional, so a minimal part looks like this:

[test-all]
recipe = plone.recipe.alltests

This creates a bin/test-all script that runs bin/test for all eggs (and their dependencies) specified in the [test] part.

1.2 - 2009-11-06

• Refactor test summary somewhat to make it easier to parse. [hannosch]
• Exclude distribute by default from the test runs. Clarify that we always run tests for all dependencies of the packages listed in the eggs option. [hannosch]

1.1 - 2009-08-19

• Added bin/test as default for test-script option. And [test]'s eggs (if the part is available) are used if the eggs option isn't specified explicitly. [reinout]

1.0 - 2009-08-02

• Added support for grouping multiple packages into one test group, avoiding some of the shared test setup cost. [hannosch]
• Added total test time to the output. [hannosch]
• Automatically extend the test path with the package location. [hannosch]
• Allow the use of regular expressions in the exclude list. [hannosch]
• Initial implementation. [hannosch]
