A WebTest enabled unit testing class.

To use, subclass and set root to your controller object, or set app to a webtest.TestApp instance.

In your tests, use self.app to make WebTest calls.

Method Details

setUp(self)

source code

Set up the WebTest by starting the server.

You should override this and make sure you have properly mounted a root for your server before calling super, or simply pass a root controller to super. Otherwise the CherryPy hooks for TurboGears will not be used.

Overrides: unittest.case.TestCase.setUp

tearDown(self)

source code

Tear down the WebTest by stopping the server.

Overrides: unittest.case.TestCase.tearDown
