Zenoss' Test Runner

Zenoss has a Zope product, ZenTestRunner, whose sole purpose it to run a specific group of tests. We did this in order to avoid running all the tests in the Products directory, such as with this command:

zopectl test --libdir /usr/local/zenoss/Products

Likewise, to run the collections of tests that are important to use, we didn't want to have to do the following:

zopectl test --libdir /usr/local/zenoss/Products/ZenModel
zopectl test --libdir /usr/local/zenoss/Products/ZenRelations
zopectl test --libdir /usr/local/zenoss/Products/Zen...

Now, all we have to do is run this:

zopectl test --libdir /usr/local/zenoss/Products/ZenTestRunner

All that is required by developers is that they add product tests to the test runner. This is done in the following manner:

• Make sure your tests run by themselves:

  zopectl test --libdir /usr/local/zenoss/Products/ZenNewProduct
  

• Go to the tests directory:

  cd /usr/local/zenoss/Products/ZenTestRunner/tests
  

• Copy one of the existing tests to a name reflecting the product for which you are adding tests:

  cp testZenModel.py testZenNewProduct.py
  

• Change the import line in the new file to reflect the new product name:

      from Products import ZenNewProduct as product
  

• Save and quit, then run the suites to make sure everything is passing:

  zopectl test --libdir /usr/local/zenoss/Products/ZenTestRunner
