Writing Plugins
---------------
nose supports plugins for test collection, selection, observation and
reporting. There are two basic rules for plugins:
* Plugin classes should subclass :class:`nose.plugins.Plugin`.
* Plugins may implement any of the methods described in the class
:doc:`IPluginInterface <interface>` in nose.plugins.base. Please note that
this class is for documentary purposes only; plugins may not subclass
IPluginInterface.
Hello World
===========
Here's a basic plugin. It doesn't do much so read on for more ideas or dive
into the :doc:`IPluginInterface <interface>` to see all available hooks.
.. code-block:: python
import logging
import os
from nose.plugins import Plugin
log = logging.getLogger('nose.plugins.helloworld')
class HelloWorld(Plugin):
name = 'helloworld'
def options(self, parser, env=os.environ):
super(HelloWorld, self).options(parser, env=env)
def configure(self, options, conf):
super(HelloWorld, self).configure(options, conf)
if not self.enabled:
return
def finalize(self, result):
log.info('Hello pluginized world!')
Registering
===========
.. Note::
Important note: the following applies only to the default
plugin manager. Other plugin managers may use different means to
locate and load plugins.
For nose to find a plugin, it must be part of a package that uses
setuptools_, and the plugin must be included in the entry points defined
in the setup.py for the package:
.. code-block:: python
setup(name='Some plugin',
# ...
entry_points = {
'nose.plugins.0.10': [
'someplugin = someplugin:SomePlugin'
]
},
# ...
)
Once the package is installed with install or develop, nose will be able
to load the plugin.
.. _setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools
Registering a plugin without setuptools
=======================================
It is currently possible to register a plugin programmatically by
creating a custom nose runner like this :
.. code-block:: python
import nose
from yourplugin import YourPlugin
if __name__ == '__main__':
nose.main(addplugins=[YourPlugin()])
Defining options
================
All plugins must implement the methods ``options(self, parser, env)``
and ``configure(self, options, conf)``. Subclasses of nose.plugins.Plugin
that want the standard options should call the superclass methods.
nose uses optparse.OptionParser from the standard library to parse
arguments. A plugin's ``options()`` method receives a parser
instance. It's good form for a plugin to use that instance only to add
additional arguments that take only long arguments (--like-this). Most
of nose's built-in arguments get their default value from an environment
variable.
A plugin's ``configure()`` method receives the parsed ``OptionParser`` options
object, as well as the current config object. Plugins should configure their
behavior based on the user-selected settings, and may raise exceptions
if the configured behavior is nonsensical.
Logging
=======
nose uses the logging classes from the standard library. To enable users
to view debug messages easily, plugins should use ``logging.getLogger()`` to
acquire a logger in the ``nose.plugins`` namespace.
Recipes
=======
* Writing a plugin that monitors or controls test result output
Implement any or all of ``addError``, ``addFailure``, etc., to monitor test
results. If you also want to monitor output, implement
``setOutputStream`` and keep a reference to the output stream. If you
want to prevent the builtin ``TextTestResult`` output, implement
``setOutputSteam`` and *return a dummy stream*. The default output will go
to the dummy stream, while you send your desired output to the real stream.
Example: `examples/html_plugin/htmlplug.py`_
* Writing a plugin that handles exceptions
Subclass :doc:`ErrorClassPlugin <errorclasses>`.
Examples: :doc:`nose.plugins.deprecated <deprecated>`,
:doc:`nose.plugins.skip <skip>`
* Writing a plugin that adds detail to error reports
Implement ``formatError`` and/or ``formatFailure``. The error tuple
you return (error class, error message, traceback) will replace the
original error tuple.
Examples: :doc:`nose.plugins.capture <capture>`,
:doc:`nose.plugins.failuredetail <failuredetail>`
* Writing a plugin that loads tests from files other than python modules
Implement ``wantFile`` and ``loadTestsFromFile``. In ``wantFile``,
return True for files that you want to examine for tests. In
``loadTestsFromFile``, for those files, return an iterable
containing TestCases (or yield them as you find them;
``loadTestsFromFile`` may also be a generator).
Example: :doc:`nose.plugins.doctests <doctests>`
* Writing a plugin that prints a report
Implement ``begin`` if you need to perform setup before testing
begins. Implement ``report`` and output your report to the provided stream.
Examples: :doc:`nose.plugins.cover <cover>`, :doc:`nose.plugins.prof <prof>`
* Writing a plugin that selects or rejects tests
Implement any or all ``want*`` methods. Return False to reject the test
candidate, True to accept it -- which means that the test candidate
will pass through the rest of the system, so you must be prepared to
load tests from it if tests can't be loaded by the core loader or
another plugin -- and None if you don't care.
Examples: :doc:`nose.plugins.attrib <attrib>`,
:doc:`nose.plugins.doctests <doctests>`, :doc:`nose.plugins.testid <testid>`

the nose source distribution. There is a list of third-party plugins
