Repeating Tests =============== The --repeat option can be used to repeat tests some number of times. Repeating tests is useful to help make sure that tests clean up after themselves. >>> import os.path, sys >>> directory_with_tests = os.path.join(this_directory, 'testrunner-ex') >>> defaults = [ ... '--path', directory_with_tests, ... '--tests-pattern', '^sampletestsf?$', ... ] >>> sys.argv = 'test --layer 112 --layer unit --repeat 3'.split() >>> from zope.testing import testrunner >>> testrunner.run(defaults) Running unit tests: Iteration 1 Ran 192 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 0.054 seconds. Iteration 2 Ran 192 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 0.054 seconds. Iteration 3 Ran 192 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 0.052 seconds. Running samplelayers.Layer112 tests: Set up samplelayers.Layerx in 0.000 seconds. Set up samplelayers.Layer1 in 0.000 seconds. Set up samplelayers.Layer11 in 0.000 seconds. Set up samplelayers.Layer112 in 0.000 seconds. Iteration 1 Ran 34 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 0.010 seconds. Iteration 2 Ran 34 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 0.010 seconds. Iteration 3 Ran 34 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 0.010 seconds. Tearing down left over layers: Tear down samplelayers.Layer112 in 0.000 seconds. Tear down samplelayers.Layerx in 0.000 seconds. Tear down samplelayers.Layer11 in 0.000 seconds. Tear down samplelayers.Layer1 in 0.000 seconds. Total: 226 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors False The tests are repeated by layer. Layers are set up and torn down only once.
