A library for detecting memory leaks in tests, mainly with mocks
Project description
dutch-boy
Mock and memory leak detector library. Right now this just features a plugin for Nose 1.x and is in beta.
This plugin: - Detects mocks that are not reset between tests. - Detects mocks created during tests that are not deleted by the end of the test. - Reports memory delta between tests. Optional.
To learn the story of the name, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Brinker,_or_The_Silver_Skates.
Pull requests are welcome. In particular, area I’m looking to improve are: - adding a pytest test runner - improving memory delta reporting
