compat.doctest.testfile API [rev. unknown]

def testfile(filename, module_relative=True, name=None, package=None, globs=None, verbose=None, report=True, optionflags=0, extraglobs=None, raise_on_error=False, parser=<py.__.compat.doctest.DocTestParser instance at 0x3c31c0>):

Test examples in the given file. Return (#failures, #tests). Optional keyword arg "module_relative" specifies how filenames should be interpreted: - If "module_relative" is True (the default), then "filename" specifies a module-relative path. By default, this path is relative to the calling module's directory; but if the "package" argument is specified, then it is relative to that package. To ensure os-independence, "filename" should use "/" characters to separate path segments, and should not be an absolute path (i.e., it may not begin with "/"). - If "module_relative" is False, then "filename" specifies an os-specific path. The path may be absolute or relative (to the current working directory). Optional keyword arg "name" gives the name of the test; by default use the file's basename. Optional keyword argument "package" is a Python package or the name of a Python package whose directory should be used as the base directory for a module relative filename. If no package is specified, then the calling module's directory is used as the base directory for module relative filenames. It is an error to specify "package" if "module_relative" is False. Optional keyword arg "globs" gives a dict to be used as the globals when executing examples; by default, use {}. A copy of this dict is actually used for each docstring, so that each docstring's examples start with a clean slate. Optional keyword arg "extraglobs" gives a dictionary that should be merged into the globals that are used to execute examples. By default, no extra globals are used. Optional keyword arg "verbose" prints lots of stuff if true, prints only failures if false; by default, it's true iff "-v" is in sys.argv. Optional keyword arg "report" prints a summary at the end when true, else prints nothing at the end. In verbose mode, the summary is detailed, else very brief (in fact, empty if all tests passed). Optional keyword arg "optionflags" or's together module constants, and defaults to 0. Possible values (see the docs for details): DONT_ACCEPT_TRUE_FOR_1 DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE ELLIPSIS IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL REPORT_UDIFF REPORT_CDIFF REPORT_NDIFF REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE Optional keyword arg "raise_on_error" raises an exception on the first unexpected exception or failure. This allows failures to be post-mortem debugged. Optional keyword arg "parser" specifies a DocTestParser (or subclass) that should be used to extract tests from the files. Advanced tomfoolery: testmod runs methods of a local instance of class doctest.Tester, then merges the results into (or creates) global Tester instance doctest.master. Methods of doctest.master can be called directly too, if you want to do something unusual. Passing report=0 to testmod is especially useful then, to delay displaying a summary. Invoke doctest.master.summarize(verbose) when you're done fiddling.
