The cinder.test Module

Base classes for our unit tests.

Allows overriding of CONF for use of fakes, and some black magic for inline callbacks.

class Database(db_api, db_migrate, sql_connection, sqlite_db, sqlite_clean_db)

Bases: fixtures.fixture.Fixture

setUp()

class TestCase(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: testtools.testcase.TestCase

Test case base class for all unit tests.

assertDictMatch(d1, d2, approx_equal=False, tolerance=0.001)

Assert two dicts are equivalent.

This is a ‘deep’ match in the sense that it handles nested dictionaries appropriately.

NOTE:

If you don’t care (or don’t know) a given value, you can specify the string DONTCARE as the value. This will cause that dict-item to be skipped.

flags(**kw)

Override CONF variables for a test.

mock_object(obj, attr_name, new_attr=None, **kwargs)

Use python mock to mock an object attribute

Mocks the specified objects attribute with the given value. Automatically performs ‘addCleanup’ for the mock.

override_config(name, override, group=None)

Cleanly override CONF variables.

setUp()

Run before each test method to initialize test environment.

start_service(name, host=None, **kwargs)

exception TestingException

Bases: exceptions.Exception
