11 * Perl module now correctly outputs "failure" instead of "fail". (Stewart Smith)
13 * Shell functions now output timestamps. (Stewart Smith)
18 * Add 'subunit --no-xfail', which will omit expected failures from the subunit
19 stream. (John Arbash Meinel, #623642)
21 * Add 'subunit -F/--only-genuine-failures' which sets all of '--no-skips',
22 '--no-xfail', '--no-passthrough, '--no-success', and gives you just the
23 failure stream. (John Arbash Meinel)
28 The Subunit Python test runner ``python -m subunit.run`` can now report the
29 test ids and also filter via a test id list file thanks to improvements in
30 ``testtools.run``. See the testtools manual, or testrepository - a major
31 user of such functionality.
33 Additionally the protocol now has a keyword uxsuccess for Unexpected Success
34 reporting. Older parsers will report tests with this status code as 'lost
40 * Add ``TimeCollapsingDecorator`` which collapses multiple sequential time()
41 calls into just the first and last. (Jonathan Lange)
43 * Add ``TagCollapsingDecorator`` which collapses many tags() calls into one
44 where possible. (Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins)
46 * Force flush of writes to stdout in c/tests/test_child.
47 (Jelmer Vernooij, #687611)
49 * Provisional Python 3.x support.
50 (Robert Collins, Tres Seaver, Martin[gz], #666819)
52 * ``subunit.chunked.Decoder`` Python class takes a new ``strict`` option,
53 which defaults to ``True``. When ``False``, the ``Decoder`` will accept
54 incorrect input that is still unambiguous. i.e. subunit will not barf if
55 a \r is missing from the input. (Martin Pool)
57 * ``subunit-filter`` preserves the relative ordering of ``time:`` statements,
58 so you can now use filtered streams to gather data about how long it takes
59 to run a test. (Jonathan Lange, #716554)
61 * ``subunit-ls`` now handles a stream with time: instructions that start
62 partway through the stream (which may lead to strange times) more gracefully.
63 (Robert Collins, #785954)
65 * ``subunit-ls`` should handle the new test outcomes in Python2.7 better.
66 (Robert Collins, #785953)
68 * ``TestResultFilter`` now collapses sequential calls to time().
69 (Jonathan Lange, #567150)
71 * ``TestResultDecorator.tags()`` now actually works, and is no longer a buggy
72 copy/paste of ``TestResultDecorator.time()``. (Jonathan Lange, #681828)
74 * ``TestResultFilter`` now supports a ``fixup_expected_failures``
75 argument. (Jelmer Vernooij, #755241)
77 * The ``subunit.run`` Python module supports ``-l`` and ``--load-list`` as
78 per ``testtools.run``. This required a dependency bump due to a small
79 API change in ``testtools``. (Robert Collins)
81 * The help for subunit-filter was confusing about the behaviour of ``-f`` /
82 ``--no-failure``. (Robert Collins, #703392)
84 * The Python2.7 / testtools addUnexpectedSuccess API is now supported. This
85 required adding a new status code to the protocol. (Robert Collins, #654474)
90 * testtools 0.9.11 or newer is new needed (due to the Python 3 support).
96 This release of subunit fixes a number of unicode related bugs. This depends on
97 testtools 0.9.4 and will not function without it. Thanks to Tres Seaver there
98 is also an optional native setup.py file for use with easy_install and the
104 * Be consistent about delivering unicode content to testtools StringException
105 class which has become (appropriately) conservative. (Robert Collins)
107 * Fix incorrect reference to subunit_test_failf in c/README.
108 (Brad Hards, #524341)
110 * Fix incorrect ordering of tags method parameters in TestResultDecorator. This
111 is purely cosmetic as the parameters are passed down with no interpretation.
112 (Robert Collins, #537611)
114 * Old style tracebacks with no encoding info are now treated as UTF8 rather
115 than some-random-codec-like-ascii. (Robert Collins)
117 * On windows, ProtocolTestCase and TestProtocolClient will set their streams to
118 binary mode by calling into msvcrt; this avoids having their input or output
119 mangled by the default line ending translation on that platform.
120 (Robert Collins, Martin [gz], #579296)
125 * Subunit now has a setup.py for python deployments that are not using
126 distribution packages. (Tres Seaver, #538181)
128 * Subunit now supports test discovery by building on the testtools support for
129 it. You can take advantage of it with "python -m subunit.run discover [path]"
130 and see "python -m subunit.run discover --help" for more options.
132 * Subunit now uses the improved unicode support in testtools when outputting
133 non-details based test information; this should consistently UTF8 encode such
136 * The Python TestProtocolClient now flushes output on startTest and stopTest.
146 * make check was failing if subunit wasn't installed due to a missing include
147 path for the test program test_child.
149 * make distcheck was failing due to a missing $(top_srcdir) rune.
154 * New filter `subunit-notify` that will show a notification window with test
155 statistics when the test run finishes.
157 * subunit.run will now pipe its output to the command in the
158 SUBUNIT_FORMATTER environment variable, if set.
166 * subunit2junitxml -f required a value, this is now fixed and -f acts as a
167 boolean switch with no parameter.
169 * Building with autoconf 2.65 is now supported.
177 * License change, by unanimous agreement of contributors to BSD/Apache
178 License Version 2.0. This makes Subunit compatible with more testing
183 * CPPUnit is now directly supported: subunit builds a cppunit listener
184 ``libcppunit-subunit``.
186 * In the python API ``addExpectedFailure`` and ``addUnexpectedSuccess``
187 from python 2.7/3.1 are now supported. ``addExpectedFailure`` is
188 serialised as ``xfail``, and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` as ``success``.
189 The ``ProtocolTestCase`` parser now calls outcomes using an extended
190 API that permits attaching arbitrary MIME resources such as text files
191 log entries and so on. This extended API is being developed with the
192 Python testing community, and is in flux. ``TestResult`` objects that
193 do not support the API will be detected and transparently downgraded
194 back to the regular Python unittest API.
196 * INSTALLDIRS can be set to control the perl MakeMaker 'INSTALLDIRS'
197 viarable when installing.
199 * Multipart test outcomes are tentatively supported; the exact protocol
200 for them, both serialiser and object is not yet finalised. Testers and
201 early adopters are sought. As part of this and also in an attempt to
202 provider a more precise focus on the wire protocol and toolchain,
203 Subunit now depends on testtools (http://launchpad.net/testtools)
204 release 0.9.0 or newer.
206 * subunit2junitxml supports a new option, --forward which causes it
207 to forward the raw subunit stream in a similar manner to tee. This
208 is used with the -o option to both write a xml report and get some
209 other subunit filter to process the stream.
211 * The C library now has ``subunit_test_skip``.
215 * Install progress_model.py correctly.
217 * Non-gcc builds will no longer try to use gcc specific flags.
218 (Thanks trondn-norbye)
231 * A number of filters now support ``--no-passthrough`` to cause all
232 non-subunit content to be discarded. This is useful when precise control
233 over what is output is required - such as with subunit2junitxml.
235 * A small perl parser is now included, and a new ``subunit-diff`` tool
236 using that is included. (Jelmer Vernooij)
238 * Subunit streams can now include optional, incremental lookahead
239 information about progress. This allows reporters to make estimates
240 about completion, when such information is available. See the README
241 under ``progress`` for more details.
243 * ``subunit-filter`` now supports regex filtering via ``--with`` and
244 ``without`` options. (Martin Pool)
246 * ``subunit2gtk`` has been added, a filter that shows a GTK summary of a
249 * ``subunit2pyunit`` has a --progress flag which will cause the bzrlib
250 test reporter to be used, which has a textual progress bar. This requires
251 a recent bzrlib as a minor bugfix was required in bzrlib to support this.
253 * ``subunit2junitxml`` has been added. This filter converts a subunit
254 stream to a single JUnit style XML stream using the pyjunitxml
257 * The shell functions support skipping via ``subunit_skip_test`` now.
261 * ``xfail`` outcomes are now passed to python TestResult's via
262 addExpectedFailure if it is present on the TestResult. Python 2.6 and
263 earlier which do not have this function will have ``xfail`` outcomes
264 passed through as success outcomes as earlier versions of subunit did.
268 * tags are no longer passed around in python via the ``TestCase.tags``
269 attribute. Instead ``TestResult.tags(new_tags, gone_tags)`` is called,
270 and like in the protocol, if called while a test is active only applies
271 to that test. (Robert Collins)
273 * ``TestResultFilter`` takes a new optional constructor parameter
274 ``filter_predicate``. (Martin Pool)
276 * When a progress: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the
277 python bindings now call the ``progress(offset, whence)`` method on
280 * When a time: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the python
281 bindings now call the ``time(seconds)`` method on ``TestResult``.
285 * (python) Added ``subunit.test_results.AutoTimingTestResultDecorator``. Most
286 users of subunit will want to wrap their ``TestProtocolClient`` objects
287 in this decorator to get test timing data for performance analysis.
289 * (python) ExecTestCase supports passing arguments to test scripts.
291 * (python) New helper ``subunit.test_results.HookedTestResultDecorator``
292 which can be used to call some code on every event, without having to
293 implement all the event methods.
295 * (python) ``TestProtocolClient.time(a_datetime)`` has been added which
296 causes a timestamp to be output to the stream.
