Testing

Abseil Python’s testing library is similar to Python’s standard unittest module (sometimes referred to as PyUnit) but offers some additional useful features on top of the standard library, such as interfacing with Abseil Flags.

To use the Abseil testing library, do the following in your unit tests:

• import the absltest module
• import the flags module, which gives you access to the variables FLAGS.test_srcdir and FLAGS.test_tmpdir.
• call absltest.main() instead of unittest.main()

Within a unit test class, any method name starting with ‘test’ will be run automatically as part of the unit test. Test names should describe the particular case being tested.

The pattern is simple and common to most xUnit frameworks. Basically:

• main() scans the current file for classes derived from TestCase
• main() then scans each class for methods prefixed by "test" (e.g. testInitialize(self):)
• For each class and each test method, the framework:
  • instantiates the class
  • calls the setUp() method, if one exists
  • try:
    • call the test method
    • if any assertions fail, or the test method terminates with an exception, mark this test as a failure
    • otherwise, mark this test as a success
  • finally:
    • calls the tearDown() method, if one exists
  • stores any tracebacks for reporting after all tests have run

Note that setUp() and tearDown() are run once for each test method, so they are a great place to put data initialization and resource cleanup.

Validation methods such as assertEqual() raise an exception on failure, which terminates the current test method. Unit test execution will continue with the remaining test methods.

Additional methods, inherited from absltest, are available to validate results:

• self.assertTrue
• self.assertFalse
• self.assertEqual
• self.assertNotEqual
• self.fail

The Abseil testing library contains many more methods than the five above; some are in Python’s built-in unittest.TestCase while others are in Abseil Python’s subclass absl.testing.absltest.

More examples are forthcoming, but for now please see absl-py’s own tests for examples of how to use absltest.
