pytest-gui

This provides a GUI based test runner for Python Unittests and py.tests.

  • Load Test cases from any directory.
  • Run single test, multiple selected tests or all tests.
  • Auto-Discover test cases recursively; in any subdirectory under current directory.
  • Display status of every test run, including test output, description, duration and any errors.
  • Status text at the bottom showing how many test cases are run, passed, failed or skipped.
  • Status bar shown while tests are running - showing progress bar on test completion.

Getting Started

  • If running on Mac: We need to install TKInter library:
brew install python-tkinter
  • Clone the pytest-gui repository
  • Install dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt)
  • Run command and select the directory to search/run tests from (python main.py)

General Usage

Initial screen consists of a left side pane, showing all the test cases that are discovered in the selected directory. By default, this would load tests from ../tests directory. We can load tests from any other directory using the Reload Tests button.

On left side we can select one or multiple test cases. To select multiple test cases, click the control button and select more test cases. If a parent of a test case is selected, then all tests under that parent are selected to run.

Commands.

Run Button

The Run button provides option to run selected test cases. This would run all test cases that are selected. If any higher level tests are selected (either a test class or a test file), then all tests under that test are executed.

Re-run Button

The Re-run button runs only failures. If no tests have been run, this is similar to Run-All button whereby it would run all test cases.

Run-all Button

This would run all test cases.

Stop Button

This would stop any running test cases. The status of already run test cases would remain as is.

Test Case Status

There are 4 test cases statuses and they are appropriately color-coded.

  • Unrun: Test cases are not run yet. They would be highlighted with black color.
  • Pass: Test cases are run and passing. They would be highlighted with green color. We also show a green circle on the right pane in details section.
  • Fail:Test cases are run and failing. They would be highlighted with red color. We also show a red circle on the right pane in details section.
  • Skip: Test cases are skipped using @unittest.skip directive. They would be highlighted with blue color. We also see a blue circle on the right pane in details section.
