Profiling
=========

The testrunner includes the ability to profile the test execution with hotshot
via the --profile option.

    >>> import os.path, sys
    >>> directory_with_tests = os.path.join(this_directory, 'testrunner-ex')
    >>> sys.path.append(directory_with_tests)

    >>> defaults = [
    ...     '--path', directory_with_tests,
    ...     '--tests-pattern', '^sampletestsf?$',
    ...     ]

    >>> sys.argv = [testrunner_script, '--profile']

When the tests are run, we get profiling output.

    >>> from zope.testing import testrunner
    >>> testrunner.run(defaults)
    Running unit tests:
    ...
    Running samplelayers.Layer1 tests:
    ...
    Running samplelayers.Layer11 tests:
    ...
    Total: ... tests, 0 failures, 0 errors
    ...
       ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)...

Profiling also works across layers.

    >>> sys.argv = [testrunner_script, '-ssample2', '--profile', 
    ...             '--tests-pattern', 'sampletests_ntd']
    >>> testrunner.run(defaults)
    Running...
      Tear down ... not supported...
       ncalls  tottime  percall  cumtime  percall filename:lineno(function)...

The testrunner creates temnporary files containing hotshot profiler
data:

    >>> import glob
    >>> files = list(glob.glob('tests_profile.*.prof'))
    >>> files.sort()
    >>> files
    ['tests_profile.cZj2jt.prof', 'tests_profile.yHD-so.prof']

It deletes these when rerun.  We'll delete these ourselves:

    >>> import os
    >>> for f in files:
    ...     os.unlink(f)
