14 * All the source files are now included in the distribution tarball.
15 (Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis, Robert Collins, #996275)
17 * ``python/subunit/tests/test_run.py`` and ``python/subunit/filters.py`` were
18 not included in the 0.0.8 tarball. (Robert Collins)
20 * Test ids which include non-ascii unicode characters are now supported.
21 (Robert Collins, #1029866)
23 * The ``failfast`` option to ``subunit.run`` will now work. The dependency on
24 testtools has been raised to 0.9.23 to permit this.
25 (Robert Collins, #1090582)
33 * Perl module now correctly outputs "failure" instead of "fail". (Stewart Smith)
35 * Shell functions now output timestamps. (Stewart Smith, Robert Collins)
37 * 'subunit2csv' script that converts subunit output to CSV format.
40 * ``TagCollapsingDecorator`` now correctly distinguishes between local and
41 global tags. (Jonathan Lange)
43 * ``TestResultFilter`` always forwards ``time:`` events.
44 (Benji York, Brad Crittenden)
49 * Add 'subunit --no-xfail', which will omit expected failures from the subunit
50 stream. (John Arbash Meinel, #623642)
52 * Add 'subunit -F/--only-genuine-failures' which sets all of '--no-skips',
53 '--no-xfail', '--no-passthrough, '--no-success', and gives you just the
54 failure stream. (John Arbash Meinel)
56 * Python2.6 support was broken by the fixup feature.
57 (Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis, #987490)
59 * Python3 support regressed in trunk.
60 (Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis, #987514)
62 * Python3 support was insufficiently robust in detecting unicode streams.
63 (Robert Collins, Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis)
65 * Tag support has been implemented for TestProtocolClient.
66 (Robert Collins, #518016)
68 * Tags can now be filtered. (Jonathan Lange, #664171)
70 * Test suite works with latest testtools (but not older ones - formatting
71 changes only). (Robert Collins)
76 The Subunit Python test runner ``python -m subunit.run`` can now report the
77 test ids and also filter via a test id list file thanks to improvements in
78 ``testtools.run``. See the testtools manual, or testrepository - a major
79 user of such functionality.
81 Additionally the protocol now has a keyword uxsuccess for Unexpected Success
82 reporting. Older parsers will report tests with this status code as 'lost
88 * Add ``TimeCollapsingDecorator`` which collapses multiple sequential time()
89 calls into just the first and last. (Jonathan Lange)
91 * Add ``TagCollapsingDecorator`` which collapses many tags() calls into one
92 where possible. (Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins)
94 * Force flush of writes to stdout in c/tests/test_child.
95 (Jelmer Vernooij, #687611)
97 * Provisional Python 3.x support.
98 (Robert Collins, Tres Seaver, Martin[gz], #666819)
100 * ``subunit.chunked.Decoder`` Python class takes a new ``strict`` option,
101 which defaults to ``True``. When ``False``, the ``Decoder`` will accept
102 incorrect input that is still unambiguous. i.e. subunit will not barf if
103 a \r is missing from the input. (Martin Pool)
105 * ``subunit-filter`` preserves the relative ordering of ``time:`` statements,
106 so you can now use filtered streams to gather data about how long it takes
107 to run a test. (Jonathan Lange, #716554)
109 * ``subunit-ls`` now handles a stream with time: instructions that start
110 partway through the stream (which may lead to strange times) more gracefully.
111 (Robert Collins, #785954)
113 * ``subunit-ls`` should handle the new test outcomes in Python2.7 better.
114 (Robert Collins, #785953)
116 * ``TestResultFilter`` now collapses sequential calls to time().
117 (Jonathan Lange, #567150)
119 * ``TestResultDecorator.tags()`` now actually works, and is no longer a buggy
120 copy/paste of ``TestResultDecorator.time()``. (Jonathan Lange, #681828)
122 * ``TestResultFilter`` now supports a ``fixup_expected_failures``
123 argument. (Jelmer Vernooij, #755241)
125 * The ``subunit.run`` Python module supports ``-l`` and ``--load-list`` as
126 per ``testtools.run``. This required a dependency bump due to a small
127 API change in ``testtools``. (Robert Collins)
129 * The help for subunit-filter was confusing about the behaviour of ``-f`` /
130 ``--no-failure``. (Robert Collins, #703392)
132 * The Python2.7 / testtools addUnexpectedSuccess API is now supported. This
133 required adding a new status code to the protocol. (Robert Collins, #654474)
138 * testtools 0.9.11 or newer is new needed (due to the Python 3 support).
144 This release of subunit fixes a number of unicode related bugs. This depends on
145 testtools 0.9.4 and will not function without it. Thanks to Tres Seaver there
146 is also an optional native setup.py file for use with easy_install and the
152 * Be consistent about delivering unicode content to testtools StringException
153 class which has become (appropriately) conservative. (Robert Collins)
155 * Fix incorrect reference to subunit_test_failf in c/README.
156 (Brad Hards, #524341)
158 * Fix incorrect ordering of tags method parameters in TestResultDecorator. This
159 is purely cosmetic as the parameters are passed down with no interpretation.
160 (Robert Collins, #537611)
162 * Old style tracebacks with no encoding info are now treated as UTF8 rather
163 than some-random-codec-like-ascii. (Robert Collins)
165 * On windows, ProtocolTestCase and TestProtocolClient will set their streams to
166 binary mode by calling into msvcrt; this avoids having their input or output
167 mangled by the default line ending translation on that platform.
168 (Robert Collins, Martin [gz], #579296)
173 * Subunit now has a setup.py for python deployments that are not using
174 distribution packages. (Tres Seaver, #538181)
176 * Subunit now supports test discovery by building on the testtools support for
177 it. You can take advantage of it with "python -m subunit.run discover [path]"
178 and see "python -m subunit.run discover --help" for more options.
180 * Subunit now uses the improved unicode support in testtools when outputting
181 non-details based test information; this should consistently UTF8 encode such
184 * The Python TestProtocolClient now flushes output on startTest and stopTest.
194 * make check was failing if subunit wasn't installed due to a missing include
195 path for the test program test_child.
197 * make distcheck was failing due to a missing $(top_srcdir) rune.
202 * New filter `subunit-notify` that will show a notification window with test
203 statistics when the test run finishes.
205 * subunit.run will now pipe its output to the command in the
206 SUBUNIT_FORMATTER environment variable, if set.
214 * subunit2junitxml -f required a value, this is now fixed and -f acts as a
215 boolean switch with no parameter.
217 * Building with autoconf 2.65 is now supported.
225 * License change, by unanimous agreement of contributors to BSD/Apache
226 License Version 2.0. This makes Subunit compatible with more testing
231 * CPPUnit is now directly supported: subunit builds a cppunit listener
232 ``libcppunit-subunit``.
234 * In the python API ``addExpectedFailure`` and ``addUnexpectedSuccess``
235 from python 2.7/3.1 are now supported. ``addExpectedFailure`` is
236 serialised as ``xfail``, and ``addUnexpectedSuccess`` as ``success``.
237 The ``ProtocolTestCase`` parser now calls outcomes using an extended
238 API that permits attaching arbitrary MIME resources such as text files
239 log entries and so on. This extended API is being developed with the
240 Python testing community, and is in flux. ``TestResult`` objects that
241 do not support the API will be detected and transparently downgraded
242 back to the regular Python unittest API.
244 * INSTALLDIRS can be set to control the perl MakeMaker 'INSTALLDIRS'
245 viarable when installing.
247 * Multipart test outcomes are tentatively supported; the exact protocol
248 for them, both serialiser and object is not yet finalised. Testers and
249 early adopters are sought. As part of this and also in an attempt to
250 provider a more precise focus on the wire protocol and toolchain,
251 Subunit now depends on testtools (http://launchpad.net/testtools)
252 release 0.9.0 or newer.
254 * subunit2junitxml supports a new option, --forward which causes it
255 to forward the raw subunit stream in a similar manner to tee. This
256 is used with the -o option to both write a xml report and get some
257 other subunit filter to process the stream.
259 * The C library now has ``subunit_test_skip``.
263 * Install progress_model.py correctly.
265 * Non-gcc builds will no longer try to use gcc specific flags.
266 (Thanks trondn-norbye)
279 * A number of filters now support ``--no-passthrough`` to cause all
280 non-subunit content to be discarded. This is useful when precise control
281 over what is output is required - such as with subunit2junitxml.
283 * A small perl parser is now included, and a new ``subunit-diff`` tool
284 using that is included. (Jelmer Vernooij)
286 * Subunit streams can now include optional, incremental lookahead
287 information about progress. This allows reporters to make estimates
288 about completion, when such information is available. See the README
289 under ``progress`` for more details.
291 * ``subunit-filter`` now supports regex filtering via ``--with`` and
292 ``without`` options. (Martin Pool)
294 * ``subunit2gtk`` has been added, a filter that shows a GTK summary of a
297 * ``subunit2pyunit`` has a --progress flag which will cause the bzrlib
298 test reporter to be used, which has a textual progress bar. This requires
299 a recent bzrlib as a minor bugfix was required in bzrlib to support this.
301 * ``subunit2junitxml`` has been added. This filter converts a subunit
302 stream to a single JUnit style XML stream using the pyjunitxml
305 * The shell functions support skipping via ``subunit_skip_test`` now.
309 * ``xfail`` outcomes are now passed to python TestResult's via
310 addExpectedFailure if it is present on the TestResult. Python 2.6 and
311 earlier which do not have this function will have ``xfail`` outcomes
312 passed through as success outcomes as earlier versions of subunit did.
316 * tags are no longer passed around in python via the ``TestCase.tags``
317 attribute. Instead ``TestResult.tags(new_tags, gone_tags)`` is called,
318 and like in the protocol, if called while a test is active only applies
319 to that test. (Robert Collins)
321 * ``TestResultFilter`` takes a new optional constructor parameter
322 ``filter_predicate``. (Martin Pool)
324 * When a progress: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the
325 python bindings now call the ``progress(offset, whence)`` method on
328 * When a time: directive is encountered in a subunit stream, the python
329 bindings now call the ``time(seconds)`` method on ``TestResult``.
333 * (python) Added ``subunit.test_results.AutoTimingTestResultDecorator``. Most
334 users of subunit will want to wrap their ``TestProtocolClient`` objects
335 in this decorator to get test timing data for performance analysis.
337 * (python) ExecTestCase supports passing arguments to test scripts.
339 * (python) New helper ``subunit.test_results.HookedTestResultDecorator``
340 which can be used to call some code on every event, without having to
341 implement all the event methods.
343 * (python) ``TestProtocolClient.time(a_datetime)`` has been added which
344 causes a timestamp to be output to the stream.
